Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hall in York, a popular wedding and conference venue, was struggling with kitchen bottlenecks during large events. Their team needed a way to prep and plate over 200 covers simultaneously without cluttering every available surface.

"This gastronorm tray trolley completely streamlined our plating process. We can now assemble entire courses for a full wedding breakfast and wheel them out smoothly. It’s organised, it’s fast, and it’s taken a massive amount of stress off the team during service."

Michael Davies – Executive Chef

The venue reported a 25% reduction in plating time for large functions, allowing for quicker, more synchronised service to their guests.

Why a Fully Welded Frame Changes Everything

You often see 'fully welded' listed as a feature, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between flat-pack furniture and a solid, handmade cabinet. A flat-pack trolley is held together by screws and bolts which can loosen over time, leading to wobbles, rattles, and eventually, failure. A fully welded frame, like on this Bourgeat P072, is one solid piece of steel. The joints are fused together, making it incredibly rigid and strong right out of the box. There are no bolts to tighten and, crucially, no crevices for food debris and bacteria to hide in, making it far more hygienic and easier to clean. It’s a simple feature that guarantees long-term stability and safety.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Arrives fully assembled, so no tools are needed. Simply unwrap and it’s ready to go!
  • Before first use, give it a quick wipe down with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Test the brakes on the locking castors to ensure they hold the trolley firm.
  • Plan its typical route through your kitchen to make sure paths are clear of obstructions.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel frame and runners daily with warm, soapy water.
  • Regularly check the castors for any trapped hair, string, or food debris that could hinder movement.
  • Avoid leaving harsh chemicals or salty solutions on the surface for extended periods.
  • When loading, try to distribute the weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Trolley

Not sure what to look for? Here's a quick guide to help you pick the perfect trolley for your needs.

Capacity & Size

How many trays do you need to move at once? This 15 tier gastronorm trolley is great for high volume, but smaller versions are available if space is tight.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's durable, hygienic, and resistant to rust. A stainless steel GN trolley is always a sound investment.

Check the Footprint

Measure your doorways and corridors! Ensure the trolley's width and depth will fit comfortably in your workspace, especially tight corners.

Wheels & Brakes

Look for smooth-rolling castors that can handle your floor type. At least two locking brakes are non-negotiable for safety when loading and unloading.

Welded vs. Flat-Pack

A fully welded trolley like this one is stronger, more stable, and more hygienic from day one, saving you the hassle of assembly and future maintenance.
