Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Anchor & Compass Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed a better way to move prepped fish and sides from their small prep station to the fryers during the busy summer tourist season. Manually carrying trays was slow and led to occasional near-misses.

"Our old system was just carrying trays by hand, which was slow and risky. This trolley has organised our entire workflow. We can load it up and have everything ready to go, which is essential when the orders are flying in."

David Chen – Head Chef

The new trolley helped them reduce prep-to-cook time by nearly 30% during peak service, allowing for faster turnarounds and less stress for the kitchen team.

Why Flat-Pack is a Smart Choice for Your Kitchen

Seeing 'flat-pack' might make you think of complicated furniture, but for commercial equipment, it's a genuinely clever feature. A flat-packed design means the trolley is shipped more efficiently and safely, which reduces both the delivery cost and the risk of it arriving with dents or scrapes. Think of it like a brand-new bike: it arrives protected in a compact box, and with a few simple steps, it’s built and ready to go in minutes. This stainless steel gastronorm trolley is just the same – the straightforward assembly means it’s ready for service in no time, without the headache of trying to manoeuvre a fully-built trolley through tight kitchen doorways and corridors.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Check you have all parts against the included instruction sheet before you begin.
  • Assemble on a flat, clean surface to avoid scratching the stainless steel.
  • Ensure all bolts are tightened securely for stability, but do not over-tighten.
  • For best control, fit the two braked castors to the front of the trolley.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down daily with a damp cloth and mild, food-safe detergent to prevent build-up.
  • Check the castor wheels are free from dirt and debris weekly to ensure smooth rolling.
  • Periodically check that all bolts are tight to maintain the trolley's structural rigidity.
  • For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cream cleaner and wipe in the direction of the grain.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Trolley

Not sure which racking trolley is right for your space? Here’s what to consider before you buy.

Capacity vs. Footprint

How many pans do you move at once? This 7-level trolley is great for smaller spaces, while larger kitchens might need a 15 or 20-level version for bulk prep.

Shelf Spacing

Check the gap between shelves (80mm here). This is perfect for standard pans, but if you regularly use deeper pans, you'll need a model with wider spacing.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it’s hygienic, durable, and easy to clean. For any kind of heavy-duty use, it’s a must-have.

Brakes are Essential

For safety, always choose a trolley with at least two braked castors. This prevents it from rolling away when loading, unloading, or parked on a slight incline.

Check Your Access

Measure your kitchen doorways and corridors! A flat-pack catering gastronorm racking unit like this is ideal as it can be built in-situ, avoiding any access headaches.
