Expert Review and Insights
In any busy kitchen, the pass is the heartbeat of the operation. The Inomak RD318 isn't just a shelf; it's an organiser, a warmer, and a workflow-enhancer all rolled into one. Its robust build and clever integration with other Inomak units show it's been designed by people who truly understand the pressures of professional catering.
Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

- Cons: Remember to factor in the cost of heating elements, as they're sold separately.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Inn in Whitby needed a way to speed up their legendary fish and chip service and reduce bottlenecks at the pass on busy summer evenings. They installed the Inomak RD318 gantry over their existing hot cupboard.
"Our old setup was just chaotic. Plates were everywhere, and food was losing heat before it even left the kitchen. The gantry brought some much-needed order and keeps everything piping hot, just as it should be."
Robert Green – Head Chef
The kitchen team now gets plates out 30% faster during peak service, with far fewer order mistakes and consistently hotter food reaching the customer.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before you begin, carefully unpack and check all components against the parts list.
- Assemble the gantry on a clean, flat surface to ensure everything aligns correctly.
- Securely fix the assembled gantry to your compatible Inomak unit as per the instructions.
- If you've purchased heating elements, ensure they are installed by a qualified professional.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down all surfaces daily with a soft cloth and a food-safe stainless steel cleaner.
- To avoid scratching the surface, never use abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Periodically check that all screws and fixings are tight and secure.
- Ensure the unit is cool before cleaning, especially if heat lamps are installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do the heating elements come included with this gantry?
A: No, the heating elements (model XWH19) are designed to be integrated but are sold separately. This allows for more flexible setups based on your specific needs.
Q: What is the gantry made from?
A: It's constructed from high-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, the industry standard for durability, hygiene, and resistance to corrosion.
Q: How wide is this kitchen service gantry?
A: This model has a generous width of 1790mm, making it ideal for busy service passes that handle a high volume of plates.
Q: Can this be used as a standalone unit on a countertop?
A: It is primarily designed to be securely fitted onto compatible Inomak hot cupboards, ambient cupboards, or bain maries for maximum stability.
Q: Is assembly difficult as it comes flat-packed?

Q: What does 'double gantry' mean exactly?
A: It simply means the unit has two tiers or shelves, one above the other, effectively doubling your holding space without using more counter area.
Q: Is this suitable for a pass-through kitchen design?
A: Absolutely. Its open design makes it a perfect pass through heated gantry shelf, allowing staff to access plates from either side.

A: A simple daily wipe-down with a soft cloth and a food-safe stainless steel cleaner is all that's needed. Avoid abrasive pads to prevent scratching.
The Inomak Difference: Built for the British Kitchen
When you choose Inomak, you're investing in more than just stainless steel; you're buying into a philosophy of robust, no-nonsense engineering. This gantry is a prime example. It's an investment in pure, unadulterated workflow efficiency. A well-organised pass, facilitated by a solid piece of kit like this restaurant serving gantry unit, directly translates to fewer errors, faster service times, and ultimately, happier customers who get their food hot and fresh. Inomak understands that professional kitchen equipment needs to be a reliable workhorse, not a high-maintenance showpiece. This unit is built to withstand the heat, the spills, and the relentless pressure of a professional service, day in and day out, delivering a return on investment that goes far beyond its purchase price through sheer reliability and operational improvement.
Explore more from InomakThe Heart of the Kitchen: Why AISI 304 Stainless Steel Matters
You see 'AISI 304 Stainless Steel' listed on lots of quality equipment, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between a standard raincoat and a professional deep-sea diving suit. Both keep water out, but one is designed to withstand immense pressure and corrosive salt water, day in and day out. AISI 304 steel is the diving suit for your kitchen; its high chromium and nickel content makes it incredibly resistant to rust, corrosion from food acids (like tomato or lemon juice), and harsh cleaning chemicals. This means it not only stays looking smart but, more importantly, it remains hygienic and structurally sound for years of hard service.
