How Commercial Dishwasher Racking Trolleys Work
These clever kitchen assistants work through simple yet brilliant engineering. The steel frame provides a series of tiers or slots perfectly sized for standard commercial dishwasher baskets. Heavy-duty castors let you wheel fully-loaded racks from washing station to service area without strain. Many models feature drip trays to capture excess water, preventing slippery floors. The design allows for 'staging' dirty items before washing, and storing clean items after—creating a smooth workflow. It's all about movement efficiency: load dirty dishes at the table, wheel to dishwasher, reload with clean baskets, then straight back to service stations!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Dishwasher Racking Trolleys
To maximise your trolley's effectiveness, establish a clear one-way system through your dishwashing area—dirty dishes in one side, clean out the other. Regularly lubricate castors with food-grade lubricant to maintain smooth rolling. Train staff to load racks strategically, with heavier items on bottom tiers. Clean thoroughly at the end of service, especially drip trays and wheels which can collect food debris. For efficient kitchen flow, position trolleys near bussing stations and plate storage areas.
