Collection: Gastronorm and Bakery Trolleys

Gastronorm and bakery trolleys provide mobile storage and transport for GN pans, bakery sheets and oven racks - moving prepared product between cool room, prep bench, oven and service line. Hospitality Connect supplies trolleys from Vogue, Cambro, Modular and Tournus - in 8, 10, 14 and 20-pan capacities for GN 1/1 and 60x40 bakery formats.

Range overview

• GN 1/1 reach-in trolleys: 10, 14 or 20 pan capacity; 530x325mm GN format; standard restaurant and central kitchen trolley.
• 60x40 bakery trolleys: Wider format for bakery sheet pans; 10-20 pan capacity; oven-compatible for blast chiller and combi oven roll-in.
• U-frame trolleys: Open-side U-frame for GN pans; allows side-loading and faster unloading.
• Side-loader trolleys: Pans slide in from the side rather than the front; better for narrow corridors.
• Heated trolleys: Powered trolleys for hot-food transport; 240V with insulated cabinet construction.

Sizing and configuration

Match trolley capacity to your prep batch sizes. A small restaurant prepping 10 trays of mise per service runs a 14-pan trolley. A central kitchen producing 50 trays runs 2-3 trolleys per service. Confirm GN format compatibility with your existing pans (1/1 standard 530x325mm; 2/1 large 650x530mm; 60x40 bakery; 18x26 American). Confirm trolley height fits your blast chiller and combi oven roll-in dimensions before purchase. Castor wheels: braked rear castors required by AU WHS rules; 100-125mm wheel diameter handles bumpy floors better than 75mm.

Use cases

• Mise en place transport: Move prepped pans from cool room to hot line in one trip.
• Roll-in chilling: Compatible with roll-in blast chillers and combi ovens; eliminates manual tray-by-tray loading.
• Bakery proofing: Roll bakery trays into proofing chambers and bake-off ovens.
• Service line restocking: Refill bain marie and cold display from one mobile platform.
• Catering transport: Off-site catering with covered trolleys for pan transport.

Specifier checklist for trolley purchase: confirm pan format and depth (1/1 GN at 65, 100 or 150mm); confirm clearance through doorways (most trolleys need 750-900mm corridor); confirm load rating (typical UDL 80-120kg for economy, 200kg+ for reinforced); plan castor maintenance (worn bearings make trolleys hard to push). For multi-site catering operations, stack-and-store nesting trolleys save warehouse space between events. Heated trolleys add 240V power requirements but maintain HACCP-compliant hot-holding for school and aged-care delivery. Standard trolley castors don't tolerate kitchen grease and water; specify sealed-bearing food-grade castors for daily wash-down environments. Pan rails should be fixed (not loose) to prevent rattle and product spill in transport.

Gastronorm and bakery trolleys care and longevity

• Check castor wheels monthly: Worn bearings make trolleys hard to push and damage door thresholds.
• Inspect handle bolts: Loose handles fail at the worst time; tighten quarterly.
• Don't exceed rated load: Posted UDL ratings matter — overloaded trolleys flex and weld lines crack.
• Keep runners clean: Pan jam-up usually traces back to crumb buildup on the L-runner.
• Lubricate axle pivots: A drop of food-grade silicone every quarter prolongs castor life.
