Product Overview
Here’s a real workhorse for any bustling food and drink establishment. The Olympia Kristallon Commercial Rectangular Tray is designed from the ground up to make life easier and safer for your front-of-house team. Forget precarious stacks of plates and glasses; this tray is your new best friend for clearing tables, serving rounds, or running food from the pass. It's built tough, with a focus on practical, everyday performance that you'll appreciate from the very first use.
Crafted for the demanding environments of pubs, canteens, and busy restaurants, this large black anti-slip fibreglass tray 455x655mm provides a generous surface area without the wobble.

This isn't just a tray; it's a small investment in operational smoothness, staff confidence, and a tidier floor.
Combining a lightweight fibreglass body with a robust, flex-free structure, the Olympia Kristallon HY139 is the definition of professional-grade. It's dishwasher safe for rapid turnaround during hectic shifts and can handle a wide temperature range, making it versatile for both hot and cold items. If you’re looking to boost efficiency and minimise breakages, this tray is an essential piece of kit for your team.

Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Kristallon tray is a classic for a reason. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and does it well. The anti-slip surface is reassuringly effective, even with condensation from cold glasses. It’s a no-nonsense, functional tool that prioritises safety and efficiency over aesthetics, which is precisely what most high-volume venues need from their service equipment.

- Pro: The robust, rigid build inspires confidence when carrying a full, heavy load.
- Con: Its purely functional design might not suit venues with a highly stylised décor.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Boathouse Inn' in Windermere needed a solution to speed up their table clearing process on hectic summer weekends. Constant spills and the odd dropped glass were slowing them down and costing money. They switched from their old, smooth plastic trays to the Olympia Kristallon non-slip fibreglass catering trays.
"Honestly, they just give the team so much more confidence. You can load them up, even with wet glasses from the bar, and nothing slides about. We're clearing tables faster and the number of breakages has plummeted. It’s a simple change that has made a noticeable difference to our service flow."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The result was a significant improvement in efficiency, reducing glassware breakage during busy periods by over 25%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Ensure trays are completely dry before stacking to preserve the integrity of the non-slip surface.
- Designate a specific, easy-to-reach storage area to prevent damage and ensure quick access for staff.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, wash in a commercial dishwasher after each service.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals on the non-slip surface as this can wear it down.
- Regularly check the edges and corners for any chips or cracks and replace if damaged to maintain safety standards.
- Stack neatly to prevent warping and ensure they don't become a trip hazard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tray completely rigid or does it have some flex?
A: It's designed to be extremely rigid. The fibreglass construction prevents it from bending or flexing, even when fully loaded with heavy items like full dinner plates and pint glasses.
Q: Can it handle hot plates directly from the pass?
A: Yes, it has a temperature resistance of up to 80°C, making it perfectly suitable for carrying hot plates from the kitchen to the table.
Q: How effective is the non-slip surface when it gets wet?
A: The surface is designed to maintain its grip even when wet, which is ideal for carrying drinks that have condensation or for use in busy, spill-prone areas.
Q: What is the best way to clean the tray?
A: The tray is fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning. For manual washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
Q: Are these trays heavy to carry?
A: No, despite their strength, the fibreglass material is surprisingly lightweight (1.55kg), which helps to reduce staff fatigue during a long shift.
Q: Can the trays be stacked for storage?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stacked, which is a great space-saving feature for any commercial kitchen or storage area.
Q: Will the non-slip coating peel or wear off over time?
A: With proper care (avoiding abrasive cleaners and sharp objects), the bonded non-slip surface is very durable and designed for long-lasting commercial use.
Q: Is the material prone to chipping or staining?
A: Fibreglass is known for its durability and resistance to chipping. The black, non-porous surface is also highly resistant to staining from food and drink.
The Olympia Kristallon Promise: Reliability on a Tray
Beyond the measurements and materials, choosing Olympia Kristallon is an investment in operational peace of mind. For decades, Olympia has been a trusted name in the UK's demanding hospitality sector, known for producing no-frills equipment that simply works. This commercial rectangular serving tray isn't just a product; it’s a reflection of that legacy. It's built on the understanding that in a busy service, reliability trumps all. Every time a staff member picks up this tray, they are holding a tool designed to make their job safer and more efficient. This translates directly into tangible business benefits: fewer costly breakages, faster table turns, and a front-of-house team that can operate with confidence. It’s a durable, dependable asset that pays for itself by preventing the small, daily mishaps that disrupt service and eat into your profits.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Non-Slip Surface is a Must-Have
What makes a 'non-slip' surface actually work? It's not just a gimmick. This tray features a specially bonded, textured rubberised coating. This finish creates microscopic peaks and valleys, massively increasing the friction between the tray and whatever you place on it, whether it's a ceramic plate or a glass slick with condensation.
Think of it like the tread on a car tyre in the rain. A smooth, bald tyre will aquaplane and lose control, while a new tyre with deep grooves grips the road securely. This tray gives your staff that same reliable grip, turning a potentially wobbly, risky journey from table to kitchen into a secure and confident walk. It’s a simple bit of science that translates directly into fewer accidents and a smoother service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Pubs & Bars: Ideal for clearing large rounds of glasses and plates quickly and safely during peak hours.
- School & Workplace Canteens: Perfect for staff to carry multiple meal trays or for diners to use in self-service environments.
- Hotel & Event Caterers: A reliable choice for room service or for staff serving guests at large functions and banquets.
