Trolleys

• Used for internal transport of goods and materials within food processing facilities.
• Suitable for bakeries for proofing or cooling racks for trays of product.
• Applicable in pharmaceutical environments for moving ingredients or finished products.
• Utilised in catering and hospitality for transporting dishes, ingredients, or equipment.
• Commonly found in warehouses or cold storage for organised movement of items.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, load capacity per shelf typically ranges from 20kg to 50kg, depending on construction.

Power supply

Trolleys of this type are typically unpowered, relying on manual movement.

Construction material

Units described as 'stainless steel' are commonly 304-grade, suitable for food contact and washdown environments.

Number of shelves

Units commonly feature between 5 and 20 removable shelves, allowing for flexible configuration.

Mobility

Typically fitted with four swivel castors, often with two braked, for ease of manoeuvrability.

Maintenance requirements

Routine cleaning and occasional inspection of castors and welds are typically the only maintenance required.

• Are these trolleys suitable for use in cold rooms or freezers?

  Stainless steel trolleys are generally suitable for cold room and freezer environments due to the material's resistance to corrosion at low temperatures. Buyers should confirm castor suitability for extreme cold.

• Can the shelf spacing be adjusted?

• What type of wheels are typically fitted?

• Is this unit suitable for high-temperature applications, such as oven use?

• What is the typical lifespan of a used stainless steel trolley?

Lab organisation and storage equipment is valued for maximising workspace efficiency and protecting sensitive materials from contamination. Buyers typically prioritise durability, proper shelving capacity, and chemical resistance when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favours equipment with adjustable configurations to accommodate evolving laboratory needs. Common strengths include robust construction and long operational lifespan when maintained correctly. When buying used, inspectors should examine structural integrity, verify compatibility with existing lab layouts, and confirm any specialised coating or material specifications remain intact for intended applications.
