Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby was struggling with kitchen congestion during the summer rush. Moving hot pans from their combi oven to the plating station was causing dangerous bottlenecks.

"This 20 shelf gastronorm trolley was a breath of fresh air for our kitchen. We can now load an entire service worth of roasted veg and potatoes onto it, wheel it over, and have it right where we need it. It's cut out so much back-and-forth, making service calmer and safer."

Ffion Morgan – Head Chef

The bistro successfully reduced kitchen traffic during service by 50%, leading to faster plating and fewer staff getting in each other's way.

More Than Just Wheels: Why Braked Castors Are a Kitchen Essential

You might not give them a second thought, but the two braked castors on this trolley are a crucial safety feature. Think of them as the handbrake on your car. You wouldn't dream of parking on a slope without it, and you shouldn't leave a trolley loaded with 80kg of hot food without being able to lock it securely in place. During a chaotic service, a slight nudge or an uneven floor can send a free-wheeling trolley gliding away, creating a serious hazard. These brakes allow you to anchor the trolley exactly where you need it – next to the oven, by the pass, or in the walk-in fridge – giving you a stable, reliable platform to work from and complete peace of mind.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Before you start, lay out all the parts and check you have everything.
Use a rubber mallet to gently but firmly tap the horizontal frames into place.
Ensure you're on a flat, level surface to avoid a wonky build.
Tighten the castors fully with a spanner to ensure they are secure and roll smoothly.

Keeping It Going

Wipe the trolley down with a sanitised cloth after every service to maintain hygiene.
Once a week, check that the castor bolts are still tight, as vibrations can loosen them over time.
Clear any debris like food scraps or dust from the wheels to keep them rolling freely.
For a showroom shine, use a designated stainless steel cleaner periodically.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Trolley

Not sure what to look for? Picking the right trolley can make a huge difference to your kitchen's efficiency. Here are a few things to consider.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Consider how many pans you need to move at once versus the physical space you have. This 20-shelf model offers high capacity in a slimline design.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the go-to for commercial kitchens. It's hygienic, resistant to rust and corrosion, and strong enough for heavy daily use.

Wheel & Brake Safety

Look for smooth-rolling, heavy-duty castors that can handle the weight. Brakes are non-negotiable for safety, especially in busy or uneven areas.

Ease of Assembly

Most trolleys arrive flat-packed to save on shipping. Check how complex the assembly is – a simple design like this one saves time and hassle.

Shelf Spacing

Make sure the gap between shelves (68mm here) is suitable for the depth of the gastronorm pans you use most often.
