Expert Review and  Insights

The Bourgeat P073 isn't trying to be clever; it's just incredibly well-made. The fully welded construction is what sets it apart from cheaper, flat-pack alternatives. It arrives ready to go and  feels absolutely bombproof. For any kitchen needing a reliable gastronorm pan transport trolley that will simply do the job without fuss for years on end, this is a top-tier choice.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The fully welded frame is immensely strong and  has no bolts to loosen.
  • Con: Fixed shelf heights mean it's not suitable for extra-deep or tall items.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare needed to improve their food transport system between their main production kitchen and  multiple seaside food outlets. Their old, mismatched racks were inefficient and  causing bottlenecks during peak tourist season.

"The Bourgeat trolleys have been brilliant. They are solid, easy to steer even when full, and  the stainless steel is simple to keep clean to our high standards. We can now prep and  move food for our fish and  chip shop and  café in half the time it used to take."

Robert Davies – Head of Operations

The upgrade resulted in a 35% faster turnaround for restocking the food outlets, significantly reducing customer waiting times on busy summer days.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This trolley arrives fully assembled and  welded, so there's no construction needed.
  • Before first use, give it a quick wipe down with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Test the locking brakes on the castors to ensure they engage and  disengage smoothly.
  • Plan your kitchen routes – make sure walkways are clear for easy and  safe movement.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the entire stainless steel GN trolley daily with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner.
  • Regularly check that the wheel nuts are secure and  haven't loosened over time.
  • Remove any debris like food wrappers or string from the wheel castors to ensure they roll freely.
  • Periodically inspect the welds for any signs of stress or damage, especially if used heavily.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Racking Trolley

Not sure which trolley is the best fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about how many trays you need to move at once versus the space you have available. A 20-shelf model is great for volume, but ensure it can navigate your kitchen's corners and  doorways.

Welded vs. Flat-Pack

Welded trolleys, like this one, offer maximum strength and  durability right out of the box. Flat-pack options might be cheaper initially but can loosen over time and  require maintenance.

Wheel Quality & Brakes

Your trolley is only as good as its wheels. Look for heavy-duty castors that can handle the weight and  roll smoothly. Brakes are a non-negotiable safety feature for secure loading.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It’s incredibly durable, resistant to rust and  corrosion, and  most importantly, very easy to clean and  keep hygienic.

Shelf Spacing

Check the distance between the runners. The 67mm spacing on this model is perfect for standard GN pans, but if you use deeper pans, you'll need to check they fit.

How Locking Wheels Prevent Kitchen Accidents

You might think the brakes on a trolley are just for parking it, but they're a crucial active safety feature in a busy kitchen. When you're loading a gastronorm racking trolley 20 shelf with heavy, often hot, pans of food, the last thing you want is for it to shift or roll away. The two locking castors on the Bourgeat P073 create a stable, fixed platform. It's like having a temporary, mobile countertop. This means staff can load and  unload with both hands, using proper lifting techniques, without having to steady the trolley with a foot or knee. It drastically reduces the risk of spills, burns, and  other common kitchen mishaps that happen in a split second.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels & Conference Centres: Ideal for transporting large quantities of plated meals from the main kitchen to function rooms.
  • Large Restaurants & Gastropubs: Perfect for holding prepped ingredients, speeding up service during the busiest weekend rushes.
  • Event & Contract Caterers: An essential for organising and  moving food efficiently at off-site venues and  large-scale events.
  • Schools & Hospitals: A reliable solution for moving meals from the central kitchen to different wards or dining halls safely.
