Product Overview
Running a large-scale catering event or a busy hotel banquet means moving a mountain of plates, and doing it safely and efficiently is half the battle. This is where a truly professional piece of kit comes into its own. This isn't just a trolley; it's a mobile, high-capacity, and fully adaptable plate management system designed to take the stress out of service, from the pot wash right to the function room door.
Specifically designed for high-volume environments like conference centres, wedding venues, and large restaurants, the Cambro adjustable dish caddy is built to protect your valuable dinnerware. With six fully adjustable towers, it can be configured in minutes to hold a huge variety of plate sizes, both round and square. This means you only need one piece of equipment to handle your starter plates, mains, and dessert dishes, saving space and reducing clutter in a busy kitchen.
Made from incredibly tough, non-rusting polyethylene, this caddy is a long-term investment in operational smoothness. It glides easily on sturdy castors, prevents costly chips and breakages, and ultimately allows your team to focus on providing excellent service rather than worrying about logistics. It’s the smart, simple solution to a universal catering challenge.

Expert Review and Insights
In the world of large-scale events, efficiency and protection of assets are paramount. The Cambro CL723 isn't a glamorous bit of kit, but it's one of the most practical investments a high-volume site can make.

It’s a workhorse, plain and simple.

- Top-Tier Versatility: The adjustable dividers genuinely accommodate almost any plate, making it incredibly practical.
- Significant Footprint: Its large size is ideal for banqueting but might be overkill for smaller kitchens.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Celtic Manor Resort in Newport was struggling with logistical bottlenecks and unacceptable crockery damage when setting up for their large-scale golf tournaments and corporate events. They needed a more robust and flexible system to replace their old, fixed-size plate trolleys.
"The Cambro dish caddies transformed our event setup. We can now configure them for any menu, whether it's small plates for a reception or large dinner plates for a gala. Our staff are less stressed, and our replacement costs for chipped plates have plummeted. It's just a smoother, more professional operation all around."
Robert Davies – Head of Operations
The resort reported a 90% reduction in plate breakages during transport and a 25% faster clear-down time after major events.

Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, check all parts are present and undamaged.

Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the caddy regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this caddy hold square or oval plates?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to securely hold both round and square plates up to 330mm (13 inches) in diameter or width.
Q: How many plates can each stack hold?
A: It varies depending on the thickness and style of your plates, but a typical stack holds between 45 and 60 dishes.
Q: Is it difficult to adjust the dividers?
A: Not at all. The towers are designed to be repositioned quickly and easily by hand, without the need for special tools.
Q: What is the main benefit of the polyethylene material?
A: It's incredibly durable and won't chip, dent or rust. Crucially, its softer surface helps protect your crockery from impact damage during transit.
Q: Does the unit arrive flat-packed?
A: Minor assembly is required, which typically involves attaching the castors to the base. The main body is pre-formed.
Q: How does it handle when fully loaded with plates?
A: It's designed for heavy loads. The high-quality swivel castors ensure it remains easy to steer and manoeuvre, even at full capacity.
Q: Could I use this for shallow bowls?
A: It's primarily designed for plates. However, shallow pasta bowls or lipped bowls may fit securely, depending on their shape and diameter.
Q: What's the best way to clean the caddy?
A: A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent is all that's needed to keep it clean and hygienic.
The Cambro Commitment: Engineered for the Real World
For over 50 years, Cambro has been a cornerstone of the global foodservice industry, building a reputation on one simple principle: creating products that withstand the rigours of a real, working kitchen.

Investing in a Cambro product is an investment in peace of mind. You're getting a piece of equipment that will reduce day-to-day operational friction, lower the hidden costs of breakages, and protect your staff from physical strain. The heavy-duty polyethylene construction isn't just a feature—it's a promise of longevity, ensuring this caddy will be a reliable part of your operation for years, not just months. This is the trust that professionals place in the Cambro name.

Many plate trolleys come with fixed slots, which sounds fine until your menu changes. Suddenly, your new, wider-rimmed main course plates don't fit, or your small side plates rattle around unsafely. Cambro's adjustable tower system solves this problem elegantly. The six polymer-coated steel towers can be moved along the caddy's frame with a simple adjustment, allowing you to create custom-sized columns for your specific dishes.
Think of it like adjustable bookends on a long shelf. Instead of having fixed compartments, you slide the supports to perfectly match the size of what you're storing, ensuring a snug, secure fit every time. This means a single Cambro 6 divider plate caddy can safely hold your 13-inch charger plates for a formal dinner, and then be reconfigured in moments to hold 7-inch dessert plates for the next event. It's this adaptability that saves you from buying multiple, less versatile trolleys, saving both space and money.
