The Cambro Versatray is one of those brilliantly simple products that just solves a problem.

- Pros: The grip is outstanding; it keeps a full pint glass secure even when tilted.
- Cons: The textured surface can take slightly longer to wipe completely clean than a smooth tray.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rose & Crown, a busy gastropub in Stratford-upon-Avon, was looking to upgrade its mismatched and slippery serving trays. They needed something that looked the part but could also handle the fast pace of service without leading to accidents and breakages.
"The difference was immediate. Our staff are more confident carrying full rounds of drinks through a crowded bar, and the wood effect looks so much smarter than our old plastic ones. We've seen a noticeable drop in spillages and broken glasses since they arrived."
Michael Davies – Pub Manager
The pub reported a reduction in glassware replacement costs of over 30% in the first quarter of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tray safe to put in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, it is designed to withstand the high temperatures and detergents of commercial dishwashers for quick and hygienic cleaning.
Q: Will the 'wood effect' pattern scratch or peel off over time?
A: No, the textured light oak finish is part of the moulded polyester material itself, not a printed layer. It is highly scratch-resistant and will not peel.
Q: Is the tray heavy to carry?
A: Not at all. It weighs just 0.72kg, making it lightweight and easy for staff to handle, even when loaded with plates and glasses.
Q: Can these trays be stacked securely?
A: Absolutely. They are designed to nest together neatly and securely, saving valuable storage space in your kitchen or service area.
Q: How effective is the non-slip surface if it gets wet?
A: The textured surface provides excellent grip even with minor moisture from condensation or small spills, which is a major advantage over smooth trays.
Q: Will it stain from things like coffee, tea, or red wine?
A: The high-quality polyester material is non-porous and highly resistant to staining from common foods and drinks.
Q: Is the tray rigid or does it flex when loaded?
A: It is extremely rigid and strong. It will not bend or flex, providing a stable platform for carrying heavy items safely.
Q: What is the main benefit of polyester over standard plastic?
A: Polyester offers far superior resistance to impact, scratches, chemicals, and heat, resulting in a much longer and more reliable service life.
The Cambro Commitment: Durability That Pays for Itself
When you choose a Cambro product, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're buying into a legacy of unparalleled durability. For decades, Cambro has been the go-to name in hospitality for items that are, to put it simply, built to last. This Cambro Versatray non-slip tray 360x460mm is a perfect example. While other trays may crack under pressure, stain after a few spills, or lose their non-slip coating, this polyester workhorse is engineered for the long haul. The real-world value isn't just in its handsome appearance, but in the operational peace of mind it provides. Fewer accidents mean a safer workplace and lower replacement costs for glassware and crockery. It means your staff feel more confident and your service runs more smoothly. This isn't an expense; it's a long-term investment in operational efficiency and a consistently professional image.
Explore more from CambroHow a Textured Surface Prevents Spills
Ever wondered what makes a non-slip surface truly effective? With the Cambro Versatray, it's not a sticky coating that can wear off. Instead, the non-slip quality is baked right into the tray's design. The entire surface is moulded with a fine, textured pattern, creating thousands of microscopic peaks and valleys.
Think of it like the difference between a smooth piece of ice and a gritty pavement. The bottom of a glass or plate makes contact with these countless little grip points, creating friction that holds it securely in place. This means that even when the tray is tilted, jostled, or carried quickly, the items on top are far less likely to slide. It’s a simple piece of physics that provides permanent, reliable safety for your staff and your customers.
