Commercial grade 1kg trays suit large scale event catering. No security deposit needed.

Professional event caterers require reliable tools to manage large-scale food production. Securing an aluminium baking tray - 660 x 460 x hire gives your kitchen team the capacity to bake high volumes of bread, pastries, and roasted vegetables. Weighing exactly 1.00kg, this commercial-grade unit provides a substantial surface area for bulk preparation. The metal construction conducts heat across the entire base, helping chefs achieve uniform results across large batches. Independent caterers and venue managers rely on these full-size trays to keep service moving during busy wedding breakfasts and corporate banquets.
Organising a major festival food stand or a large charity gala demands serious hardware. You can pair these trays with our wider catering equipment hire inventory to build a complete temporary kitchen. The 25mm depth contains roasting juices and prevents delicate items from sliding off during transport between prep stations and ovens. Chefs use the generous 660mm x 460mm dimensions to prove dough, bake hundreds of cookies, or roast large quantities of root vegetables simultaneously. Because Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade items, these trays resist warping under high oven temperatures. Your kitchen brigade maintains high output without waiting for smaller domestic trays to cycle through the ovens.
Managing logistics for temporary event spaces takes careful planning. Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots across England and Wales, bringing professional gear directly to your venue. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, which our system calculates by road distance from your nearest depot. On your delivery day, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS arrival time, keeping your setup schedule on track. We never charge a security deposit, freeing up your budget for other event essentials like table hire and decor. You can also opt for warehouse self-collection from our Birmingham headquarters between 7am and 3pm, Monday to Friday.
Accidents happen in busy catering environments. Every order includes a free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches and minor dents at no extra cost. No other UK hire company offers this benefit. You avoid unexpected replacement fees, giving your kitchen staff peace of mind during frantic service periods. After your event concludes, you pack the trays away for collection. We handle the logistics while you focus on wrapping up your event.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
