The RST3AC is a three-tier stainless steel service trolley used for meal delivery, beverage transport, and table clearing in hotels, restaurants, and institutional catering. It measures 860×540×940mm and supports loads up to 150 kg across three shelf levels. Four castors with brakes provide mobility during service periods.
Commercial Application
Service trolleys reduce staff movement during meal service by consolidating multiple dishes, glassware, or cleared items onto a single mobile platform. The RST3AC fits through standard commercial kitchen doorways and manoeuvres between tables during breakfast buffets, banquet service, or ward rounds in healthcare facilities.
During peak service periods, front-of-house staff load plated dishes on upper shelves and beverages or condiments below. After service, the same unit clears multiple table settings in one pass, reducing trips to the dishwashing zone. The enclosed cabinet level stores cleaning supplies or conceals waste bins during clearing operations.
Key Operational Advantages
- Three shelf levels with 150 kg total capacity — upper trays handle plated meals, lower cabinet stores service items
- 860×540mm footprint fits standard kitchen door widths and aisle clearances in dining areas
- Four castors with braking mechanism — two swivel, two fixed for directional control under load
- Stainless steel construction meets CE hygiene standards for food contact surfaces
- Round tube handles provide secure grip during loaded transport across uneven flooring
- Flat-pack delivery reduces freight volume — assembles with basic tools in 20–30 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the RST3AC frame and shelves?
A: The frame and shelves use food-grade stainless steel meeting CE hygiene standards for direct food contact. Specific grade (304 or 430) is confirmed with each production batch and listed on the compliance certificate.
Q: Can the RST3AC handle uneven weight distribution across the three shelves?
A: The 150 kg capacity assumes even distribution across all three levels. Concentrating more than 60 kg on a single shelf risks frame stress at the castor mounts. Heavier items should be placed on the lower cabinet level closest to the castor base.
Q: Are the shelf heights adjustable or fixed in the RST3AC design?
A: Shelf positions are fixed at factory-set intervals. The design prioritises structural rigidity under load over height adjustment. Custom shelf spacing is available on orders of 10+ units with extended lead time.
Q: Do the castors lock both swivel and roll directions during stationary use?
A: Two castors have foot-operated brakes that lock the wheel rotation. The swivel function is not independently lockable. This configuration prevents rolling but allows slight pivoting if the trolley is bumped during service.
Q: What tools are required for flat-pack assembly of the RST3AC?
A: Assembly requires one adjustable spanner or 13mm socket wrench for castor bolts and shelf bracket fixings. No welding or drilling is involved. Typical assembly time is 20–30 minutes with the supplied instruction sheet.
