Stainless Steel Single-Line Tray Trolley

Product Overview

Glead Stainless Steel Single-Line Tray Trolley (Model: GL-15) is a robust, space-saving transport tool built for commercial and industrial environments. Crafted from food-grade stainless steel, it safely moves trays of food, medical supplies, or inventory—streamlining workflows and reducing manual lifting injuries.

Core Product Features

Premium Stainless Steel Build

The trolley’s frame and trays are constructed from 201-grade stainless steel (standard), which resists rust, stains, and odors—even when exposed to moisture or cleaning chemicals. For businesses in food service or healthcare (where hygiene is critical), an upgrade to 304-grade stainless steel is available. 304-grade is non-reactive, complies with FDA and NSF standards, and withstands frequent disinfection (ideal for hospital wards or commercial kitchens). Unlike plastic trolleys that crack under heavy loads or warp from hot trays, the stainless steel build supports up to 15kg per tray without bending, ensuring long-term durability.

Ergonomic Single-Line Design

The trolley’s narrow single-line profile (width: ~40cm) is purpose-built for navigating tight spaces—such as between kitchen prep tables, hospital corridors, or warehouse aisles—where wider trolleys would get stuck. The balanced weight distribution (even when fully loaded) prevents tipping, even when turning corners quickly, and the compact design lets you store multiple trolleys side-by-side when not in use, saving storage space. This ergonomic design reduces staff fatigue, as they don’t need to maneuver around obstacles or struggle with bulky equipment.

Spacious & Secure Tray Layout

The single-line configuration includes 3–5 adjustable tray levels (depending on custom orders), each measuring 40cm W x 60cm L—large enough to fit standard commercial food trays, medical supply bins, or small inventory boxes. Each tray has a 2cm raised edge that prevents items from sliding off during movement, which is essential for transporting hot food dishes, glassware, or delicate medical supplies. The tray height is adjustable in 5cm increments, letting you customize the space between levels to fit tall items (e.g., stackable food containers or large medical bags) without wasting vertical space.

Smooth Mobility & Stability

Equipped with 4 heavy-duty rubber wheels (5cm diameter), the trolley rolls quietly on tile, concrete, carpet, or linoleum—no loud scraping that could disturb restaurant guests or hospital patients. Two of the wheels have built-in locks that keep the trolley stationary during loading or unloading, preventing accidents in busy areas. The wheels are also shock-absorbent, which protects delicate items (e.g., pastries or lab samples) from jostling during transport. Replacement wheels are available through Glead, and they snap on/off easily—no tools needed—for quick repairs.

Low-Maintenance & Easy Assembly

The trolley requires no tools for assembly: all components (frame, trays, wheels) snap together in 10 minutes, so staff can set it up without professional help. The smooth stainless steel surface wipes clean with a damp cloth or disinfectant spray, and it resists grease (critical for commercial kitchens) and harsh cleaning chemicals (ideal for healthcare facilities). Unlike wooden trolleys that absorb stains or plastic trolleys that scratch easily, the stainless steel finish maintains its polished appearance with minimal upkeep—saving time on maintenance tasks.

Application

Commercial Kitchens & Restaurants

Commercial kitchens and restaurants operate in fast-paced environments where efficient transport of food and dishes is essential to avoid delays in service. The Glead Stainless Steel Single-Line Tray Trolley streamlines this process by allowing staff to move hot food trays from ovens to dining areas or dirty dishes from tables to dishwashers in one trip, reducing the number of trips and minimizing the risk of burns from carrying multiple trays by hand. The trolley’s stainless steel construction is heat-resistant, safely supporting trays up to 80°C without warping or staining—unlike plastic trolleys that can melt or retain grease.

Healthcare Facilities (Hospitals/Nursing Homes)

Hospitals and nursing homes require transport solutions that prioritize hygiene, safety, and reliability—all of which the Glead Tray Trolley delivers. The 304-grade stainless steel upgrade complies with healthcare hygiene standards, as it can be disinfected with hospital-grade cleaners (e.g., bleach-based solutions) without corroding. Nurses use the trolley to deliver patient meals, medications, or sterile supplies (like bandages or syringes), and the raised tray edges prevent items from falling onto the floor (a critical concern for infection control).

Catering Services

Catering services often work in diverse locations—from wedding venues to corporate offices—where space and mobility are limited. The Glead Tray Trolley’s compact design fits into event venue elevators and narrow hallways, making it easy to transport appetizer trays, beverage dispensers, or table settings. The stainless steel construction is durable enough to withstand outdoor use (e.g., garden weddings) and easy to clean after events, even if food or drink is spilled.

Warehouses & Retail Backrooms

Warehouses and retail backrooms need efficient ways to move small inventory items (e.g., electronics, cosmetics, or office supplies) between storage shelves and shipping areas or sales floors. The Glead Tray Trolley’s durable wheels handle concrete warehouse floors without wear, and the raised tray edges prevent small items from falling off during transit. The adjustable tray levels let staff organize inventory by category (e.g., one tray for smartphones, one for accessories), making it easy to count and sort items.

FAQ

What’s the maximum number of trays the trolley can hold?

The standard model comes with 3 trays, but you can order up to 5 trays (total height: 120cm) as a custom option. Adding more than 5 trays is not recommended, as it can make the trolley top-heavy and difficult to maneuver—especially in tight spaces. Glead’s design team can help you determine the optimal tray count based on your intended use (e.g., 5 trays for light inventory, 3 trays for heavy food trays).

Can the trolley be used outdoors?

Yes, but avoid prolonged exposure to rain, snow, or saltwater (e.g., coastal events), as these can accelerate rusting on the 201-grade stainless steel. If using the trolley outdoors regularly, opt for the 304-grade stainless steel upgrade, which has higher corrosion resistance. After outdoor use, wipe the trolley with a dry cloth to remove moisture, and lubricate the wheel bearings monthly with a silicone-based lubricant to prevent rust buildup.

Is the trolley compatible with standard commercial food trays?

Yes. The trays measure 40cm W x 60cm L, which fits most standard commercial food trays (e.g., 18'' x 26'' trays common in restaurants and catering). If you use non-standard tray sizes, Glead offers custom tray options—simply provide the dimensions of your trays, and the team will manufacture trays that fit the trolley perfectly.
