  • Pros: The AISI 304 steel is top-notch for hygiene and  durability.
  • Cons: It's specifically designed for Inomak units, so check compatibility first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Anchor Inn' in Salcombe, Devon, found their service pass becoming a major bottleneck during the busy summer tourist season. They needed a simple solution to add space and  organisation without a full kitchen refit, which led them to the Inomak RE318 to fit on their existing hot cupboard.

"It’s made a world of difference. The pass is tidy, tickets are easy to see, and  the chefs can plate up without getting in each other's way. Service is just calmer and  faster now, which is exactly what we needed."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The result? The Anchor Inn has successfully reduced order mix-ups and  reports that plating and  dispatch times have improved by over 30% during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always unpack and  check all components against the parts list before you begin assembly.
  • Build on a flat, stable surface. It's often easier to assemble directly onto the unit it will sit on.
  • Follow the included instructions carefully, ensuring all fixings are tightened securely for stability.
  • Once assembled, use a spirit level to check it's perfectly horizontal to prevent plates from sliding.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe multi-surface cleaner to remove grease and  debris.
  • For a streak-free shine, use a designated stainless steel cleaner and  polish, wiping with the grain.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals like bleach, as they can damage the steel's protective layer.
  • Periodically check that all bolts and  fixings remain tight, as vibrations in a kitchen can loosen them over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gantry Shelf

Finding the perfect fit for your pass? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Measure Your Space

Check the width of your counter, hot cupboard, or bain marie. The gantry should fit comfortably without overhanging.

Single or Double Tier?

A single tier gantry is perfect for extra plating space. If you need to store condiments or equipment, a double tier might be better.

Heated or Ambient?

Decide if you need to keep plates hot. Many gantries, like this one, are compatible with heat lamps for a simple upgrade.

Check Compatibility

If you're fitting it to an existing unit, make sure the mounting points or design are compatible to ensure a safe, stable fit.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for simple designs in high-grade stainless steel. Fewer nooks and  crannies mean a quicker and  more hygienic clean-down.

Inomak has earned a solid reputation in UK kitchens for one simple reason: they build equipment that works, lasts, and  doesn't overcomplicate things. The RE318 gantry is a perfect example of this philosophy. Beyond the specifications, you're investing in peace of mind.

In a busy commercial environment, reliability is everything. This shelf isn't just holding plates; it's upholding a standard of efficiency and  professionalism at the most critical point in your service—the pass.

Why AISI 304 Steel is a Kitchen Essential

You see 'AISI 304 stainless steel' mentioned a lot, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it as the difference between a cheap DIY spanner and  a professional mechanic's one. Standard steel will rust and  pit over time, especially in a steamy, busy kitchen. AISI 304, however, is a specific food-grade alloy with high levels of chromium and  nickel. This special recipe makes it incredibly resistant to rust, corrosion from salts and  acids (like lemon juice or tomato sauce), and  staining. More importantly, its non-porous surface doesn't harbour bacteria, which makes it a dream to sanitise and  a favourite of health inspectors. It’s the backbone of a safe, durable, and  professional kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants

    Perfect for organising the main pass, keeping orders clear and  moving smoothly during the dinner rush.

  • Busy Cafés & Bistros

    Creates an essential plating-up station over your counter, freeing up precious workspace for prep.

  • High-Volume Takeaways

    An ideal spot to assemble and  hold orders, ensuring everything is correct before it goes out the door.

  • Gastropubs

    Upgrade your food service area to a professional standard, helping bridge the gap between bar and  kitchen.
