Secure gastronorm racking trolley - 20 shelf hire for commercial catering events. Transport twenty 1/1 GN pans on locking castors. Book online today.
Commercial catering operations require precise logistics to move large quantities of food between prep areas and service stations. Securing your gastronorm racking trolley - 20 shelf hire gives your kitchen staff the capacity to transport up to twenty 1/1 GN pans at once. This stainless steel unit stands 1720mm tall, maximising vertical storage in tight corridors and temporary marquees. You can load hot or cold dishes directly onto the runners, keeping your service lines moving during peak banquet hours.
Moving heavy loads across venue floors demands sturdy equipment. Weighing just 8.00kg unladen, this trolley features heavy-duty castors that navigate hard floors and temporary event surfaces. Staff can push the fully loaded unit into position and apply the front brakes to lock it securely in place. The 560mm x 390mm footprint fits through standard doorways, allowing caterers to bypass crowded dining rooms and use back-of-house routes. The open frame design promotes air circulation around your ingredients, helping regulate temperatures before service begins.
Professional event organisers rely on mobile storage to manage complex menus. Large-scale weddings, corporate galas, and outdoor festivals generate high volumes of plated meals and bulk ingredients. Storing these items on a dedicated rack frees up valuable counter space. Pair this unit with other items from our catering equipment hire catalogue to build a complete temporary kitchen. You can also position the trolley next to prep stations or behind buffet lines alongside your table hire setup, giving chefs immediate access to fresh trays. Festival operators and independent caterers frequently utilise these racks to hold pre-portioned desserts or chilled starters right up until the moment they hit the dining tables.
Expo Hire operates entirely online, removing the need for lengthy phone calls or manual quotes. Every order includes a free minor damage waiver, protecting you against accidental scratches during busy service periods. We never charge a security deposit, keeping your event budget clear for other expenses. Delivery costs start from £40 ex-VAT, which our system calculates by road distance from our Birmingham headquarters or one of our 11 regional depots across England and Wales. You can track your driver on the day with live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA, giving your site managers exact arrival times.
Managing your equipment logistics takes just a few clicks. Prices and stock levels update in real time on our website. Add the required quantities to your basket and confirm your dates online to secure your booking.

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.
