  • Pros: The AISI 304 steel is top-notch for hygiene and  durability.
  • Cons: Heating elements aren't included, so factor that in for a heated pass.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Harbour View" in Whitby found their small kitchen pass was becoming a real bottleneck during the tourist season. They needed a simple solution to create more space and  structure without a full refit, opting for the Inomak RE311 to fit over their existing hot cupboard.

"It’s tidied up the whole process. Chefs can plate and  place, servers can see the order and  collect it without getting in the way. Service is just calmer and  faster now, which is exactly what we needed."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

The result was a smoother workflow, leading to a measured 20% faster dispatch time for mains during their busiest weekend shifts.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always check you have all the parts and  fixings before you begin assembly.
  • Build the unit on a flat, stable surface to ensure it's level and  square.
  • Follow the included instructions carefully to attach it securely to your compatible base unit.
  • Ensure all bolts and  screws are fully tightened before placing any items on the shelf.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the surface down daily with a soft cloth and  a mild, food-safe detergent.
  • For tougher grime, use a designated stainless steel cleaner – never use abrasive scourers.
  • Rinse with clean water and  dry thoroughly to prevent water spots and  streaks.
  • Periodically check that all fixings remain tight and  secure, especially in a busy kitchen.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gantry

Need help choosing? Getting the right gantry shelf can transform your service. Here’s a quick checklist to help you decide.

Size & Fit

Measure your counter or base unit carefully. This 1090mm wide gantry shelving is designed for standard units, but always double-check your space.

Heated or Ambient?

Decide if you need to keep food warm. This model is ready for heating elements, offering great flexibility for your setup.

Material Matters

For a commercial kitchen, always insist on food-grade stainless steel like AISI 304. It’s more hygienic, durable, and  resistant to corrosion.

Single or Double Tier?

A single gantry is perfect for a clear line of sight and  simple organisation. If you need more storage, consider a double-tier model.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth, seamless designs. The fewer crevices and  corners, the quicker and  easier it is to keep sanitised during and  after service.

Why AISI 304 Grade Steel is a Chef's Best Mate

Ever wondered what 'AISI 304' actually means? Think of it as the difference between a standard kitchen knife and  a professional chef's knife. Both cut, but one is built to last. AISI 304 is a specific grade of stainless steel that contains a higher amount of chromium and  nickel. This special recipe makes it incredibly resistant to rust and  corrosion from everyday kitchen culprits like salt, acidic tomato sauces, and  harsh cleaning chemicals. Its surface is non-porous, meaning there are no tiny hiding spots for bacteria to grow, making it ultra-hygienic and  easy to sanitise – a crucial benefit for any food-focused business.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants

    For creating a clear, organised pass to ensure plated dishes get to tables quickly and  correctly.

  • Bustling Pubs

    Perfect for streamlining the flow of pub grub from the kitchen to the bar or servers.

  • Cafes & Diners

    Ideal for managing breakfast and  lunch orders, keeping the service area tidy and  efficient.

  • Event Caterers

    The flat-pack design is brilliant for setting up temporary, professional service points anywhere.
