Expert Review and  Insights

In any fast-moving food service environment, the humble tray is an unsung hero. The Cambro EpicTread isn't just another tray; it’s a piece of safety equipment. The grip is genuinely impressive, especially with condensation-covered glasses which is where most standard trays fail. It feels robust and  built to withstand the inevitable drops and  knocks of a commercial kitchen.

  • Unbeatable Grip: The textured surface is second-to-none for preventing sliding during transit.
  • A Little Noisy: The rigid fibreglass can be slightly louder when placing items down.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Anchor's Rest," a popular seaside pub in Whitby, was struggling with frequent glassware breakages during their busy summer tourist season, especially when staff carried drinks out to their wet patio area. They needed a tray that could handle the pace and  the conditions.

"We were losing money on broken glasses and  it was slowing our service down. Since we switched to these Cambro trays, the difference is night and  day. The grip is fantastic, even with condensation from pints. The staff feel much more confident carrying full trays now."

Robert Miller – Pub Manager

After implementing the Cambro DS519 trays, The Anchor's Rest reported a 45% reduction in glassware breakages during peak service hours, significantly improving their operational efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the tray a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Inspect the tray upon arrival to ensure there's no damage from shipping.
  • Designate a clean, dry, and  easily accessible spot for storage.

Keeping It Going

  • The tray is high-temperature dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
  • For stubborn food, use a soft brush or sponge. Avoid abrasive scourers which can damage the surface.
  • Stack using the lugs to ensure proper air drying and  prevent mould or mildew.
  • Regularly check for any chips or deep scratches and  replace if the surface integrity is compromised.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Tray

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here are a few things to consider when picking the perfect tray.

Material Matters

Fibreglass offers incredible rigidity and  durability compared to standard plastic, which can warp or crack over time. It’s an investment in longevity.

Grip or Glide?

A non-slip surface is essential for carrying drinks or moving quickly. For self-service buffets where customers slide trays, a smooth surface might be better.

Size and  Shape

Consider what you’re carrying. Rectangular trays like this one are versatile for plates and  glasses. Measure your storage space and  dishwasher clearance, too!

Consider the Weight

A lightweight tray reduces staff fatigue over a long shift. Fibreglass provides a great balance of being light to carry but strong enough for heavy loads.

Stackability

If space is tight, look for trays with stacking lugs. They allow for neat, stable stacking and  ensure the trays dry properly, which is crucial for hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the non-slip surface a coating that will peel off?

A: No, the EpicTread surface is a durable, textured material that is permanently bonded to the fibreglass tray. It's designed not to peel or flake off with normal use and  commercial dishwashing.

Q: Can this tray hold very hot plates direct from an oven or pass?

A: The tray is temperature resistant up to 80°C (176°F), making it suitable for most hot plates from a hot-hold unit or pass. However, it is not designed for items taken directly from a high-temperature oven.

Q: Will the tray bend if I load it up with heavy pint glasses?

A: No, the fibreglass construction is extremely rigid and  is specifically designed to resist flexing, even when carrying a full load of heavy tableware or drinks.

Q: How do I clean the non-slip surface effectively?

A: The tray is fully commercial dishwasher safe. For manual washing, use warm, soapy water and  a soft brush to get into the textured surface. Avoid harsh abrasives.

Q: Are these trays truly stackable without sticking together?

A: Yes, they are designed with stacking lugs on the base which create a small air gap between each tray, preventing them from sealing together and  allowing for faster drying.

Q: Is the green colour likely to fade over time with washing?

A: The colour is integrated into the material itself, making it highly resistant to fading from commercial dishwashing cycles and  general use.

Q: What is the main advantage of fibreglass over a cheaper plastic tray?

A: Fibreglass offers superior durability, rigidity, and  resistance to impact, chemicals, and  stains. It won't warp in the dishwasher and  has a much longer service life in a demanding commercial environment.

Q: Is the tray heavy to carry?

A: Not at all. Despite its strength, it weighs just under half a kilogram (0.48kg), making it lightweight and  comfortable for staff to carry throughout a long shift.

How Do The Stacking Lugs Improve Hygiene?

You might have noticed the small bumps on the corners of the tray and  wondered what they're for. These are called 'stacking lugs', and  they're a simple but brilliant piece of design. When you stack the trays, these lugs ensure there's always a small, consistent gap between each one. This gap allows air to circulate freely all around the trays, even when they're piled high.

Think of it like using a wire rack to cool biscuits instead of leaving them on a flat baking sheet. The wire rack lets air get underneath, cooling them faster and  preventing a soggy bottom. The stacking lugs do the same for your trays, ensuring they dry completely after washing. This prevents trapped moisture, which is a breeding ground for bacteria, and  gets your trays back into service much faster.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Pubs & Bars: Ideal as a green fibreglass bar tray for carrying large rounds of drinks from the bar to tables without spills.
  • High-Volume Cafes: Empowers staff to clear tables and  deliver orders quickly and  safely during the morning coffee rush.
  • School & Workplace Canteens: A safe, durable choice for both staff serving and  customers carrying their own lunch to their seat.
  • Hotels & Conference Centres: Perfect for reliable room service delivery or serving refreshments during events, ensuring a professional presentation.
