Buying Guide: Trolleys & Bins
Choosing the right transport and storage equipment improves workflow efficiency and hygiene. Whether you need to move dirty dishes, store bulk flour, or transport ice, commercial-grade durability is key to avoiding breakdowns.
Types of Trolleys
- Stainless Steel Trolleys: The industry standard for durability and hygiene. Perfect for clearing tables, transporting hot food, or general kitchen use.
- Plastic Utility Carts: Lightweight, quiet, and dent-resistant. Ideal for front-of-house service or housekeeping.
- Bakery Trolleys: Specialized racks designed to hold Gastronorm pans or baking trays for cooling and transport.
Types of Bins
- Ingredient Bins: Mobile bins with sliding lids and scoops for bulk storage of flour, sugar, and rice. Must be food-grade.
- Ice Caddies: Insulated mobile bins for transporting large amounts of ice from the machine to the bar or event.
- Waste Bins: heavy-duty pedal bins or dollies for managing kitchen refuse hygienically.
Key Features to Look For
- Castors (Wheels): Look for heavy-duty, non-marking swivel castors. Locking brakes are essential for safety on sloped floors.
- Load Capacity: Check the weight rating. A cheap trolley will buckle under a load of dirty plates or flour bags.
- Food Safe Materials: Ensure ingredient bins are made of certified food-grade plastics (BPA free).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a clearing trolley and a service trolley?
Functionally they are similar, but clearing trolleys often have deep tubs or bins for scraps and cutlery, while service trolleys have flat shelves for carrying plates of food.
How do I clean ingredient bins?
Empty the bin completely, wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before refilling. Moisture is the enemy of dry ingredients like flour.
Do stainless steel trolleys rust?
High-quality (304 grade) stainless steel is highly rust-resistant. However, if exposed to harsh chemicals (bleach) or left wet and salty, surface rust can appear. Regular cleaning prevents this.
