The RST5A is a five-tier stainless steel service trolley measuring 860×540×1560mm, designed for transporting plated meals, clearing used dishes, and moving catering equipment across commercial kitchens and dining areas. Each shelf supports up to 50kg when evenly distributed. Braked castors allow controlled movement during peak service periods.
Commercial Application
Service staff use this trolley to transport multiple plates, bowls, and glassware from kitchen pass to dining tables in a single trip. During clearance, it consolidates dirty dishes and cutlery from multiple tables before return to the wash-up area. The five-tier configuration reduces the number of trips required during high-volume service.
In banqueting operations, staff load trays at the plating station and wheel the trolley to function rooms. The 860mm width fits through standard commercial kitchen doorways and service corridors. Braked castors lock the unit in position during loading and unloading at each station.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the RST5A construction?
A: The trolley is constructed from commercial-grade stainless steel suitable for food contact use under CE, NSF, and CSA standards. Specific grade (304 or 430) can be confirmed at time of order based on stock availability and regional requirements.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity per shelf and for the entire trolley?
A: Each of the five shelves supports 50kg when weight is evenly distributed across the surface. Total trolley capacity is 250kg when all five shelves are loaded to maximum and weight is balanced during transport.
Q: Are the shelf heights adjustable to accommodate taller items?
A: Shelf positions are fixed at factory-set intervals to maintain structural rigidity during loaded transport. Custom spacing is not available on the RST5A model.
Q: Can the RST5A be supplied with all-swivel or all-fixed castors?
A: The standard configuration includes four swivel castors with two brakes (typically front or rear pair). Castor configuration cannot be altered on this model.
Q: Is the RST5A available in custom dimensions for narrow service corridors?
A: The RST5A is manufactured in the standard 860×540×1560mm size only. Custom sizing requires a minimum order quantity and extended lead time — contact TurcoBazaar for feasibility and quotation.
