- Rock-Solid Build: The stainless steel frame feels bombproof and ready for years of service.
- Basic Castors: It moves well but lacks wheel brakes for stationary loading/unloading.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The catering team at 'Oakwood Gardens Care Home' in Norwich needed to replace their old, cumbersome trolleys, which were proving difficult for staff to manoeuvre and clean properly. They needed a more hygienic and user-friendly solution for their daily meal rounds.
"The Matfer Bourgeat CX726 trolley is brilliant. It's so much lighter and glides down the corridors. Cleaning is now a two-minute job instead of a ten-minute struggle. It has genuinely made our meal service calmer and more organised."
Robert Davies – Facilities Manager
The upgrade resulted in a 30% reduction in the time taken for meal distribution rounds, freeing up staff time and reducing physical strain.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Most trolleys arrive assembled, but always double-check that all bolts and castors are securely tightened before use.
- Give the entire unit, especially the tray runners, a thorough wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser.
- Before you load it up, do a quick test run along your intended routes to ensure it fits through all doorways and tight spots.
- Check that your standard service trays fit comfortably and securely on the runners.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the trolley down daily with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent to remove any food residue.
- Regularly inspect the castor wheels and clear away any trapped hair, dust, or debris to keep them rolling smoothly.
- For a streak-free finish, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner and polish, always wiping in the direction of the grain.
- Periodically check and retighten any frame bolts to prevent the trolley from becoming wobbly over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this catering tray trolley delivered fully assembled?
A: Yes, the Matfer Bourgeat CX726 trolley typically arrives fully assembled and ready for use after a quick clean. We always recommend checking all fittings are tight upon delivery.
Q: What size trays is this designed for?
A: It's designed for standard commercial cafeteria and service trays, but it's always best to check the dimensions of your specific trays against the trolley's runner width.
Q: How do you recommend cleaning the stainless steel?
A: For daily cleaning, a soft cloth with warm, soapy water is sufficient. For a deeper clean or to restore shine, use a designated stainless steel cleaner, wiping with the grain of the metal.
Q: Are the wheels noisy on tiled or hard floors?
A: The castors are designed for smooth and relatively quiet operation on most common indoor floor surfaces, like lino, tile, and commercial carpets.
Q: Can this trolley be used inside a walk-in fridge?
A: Yes, the stainless steel construction makes it perfectly suitable for temporary use in walk-in refrigerators to keep meals chilled before service.
Q: How easy is it to push when fully loaded with 12 trays?
A: The combination of its balanced design and smooth-rolling castors makes it surprisingly easy to manoeuvre, even with a full load of meals.
Q: Do the tray runners have end stops?
A: This model features lipped runners that prevent trays from sliding through, ensuring they stay securely in place during transport.
Q: Will the stainless steel frame rust over time?
A: High-quality stainless steel, like that used by Matfer Bourgeat, is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, especially when cleaned and maintained correctly.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhy a Stainless Steel Frame is Your Best Bet for Hygiene
Ever wondered why nearly all professional kitchen gear is made of stainless steel? It's not just about looking smart. The real magic is that stainless steel is non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a sealed glass surface and a wooden chopping board. On wood, tiny particles and bacteria can get trapped in microscopic grooves, but on stainless steel, there's simply nowhere for them to hide.
This means that when you wipe down this grey food service trolley with a sanitiser, you're achieving a truly clean surface every time. It’s a critical feature for meeting food safety standards, especially in environments like hospitals and care homes. Plus, it won't rust or corrode from frequent cleaning with chemicals, ensuring it stays hygienic and professional-looking for years.
Who Should Buy This?
- Educational Institutions: Perfect for school and university canteens to speed up lunch service and clear tables efficiently.
- Healthcare Facilities: An essential for hospitals and care homes needing a hygienic and reliable commercial meal delivery cart.
- Large Event Caterers: A must-have for moving plated meals from a mobile kitchen to the service area smoothly.
- Hotels & Conference Centres: Ideal for room service operations or for transporting items for large buffet setups and functions.
