This offer ends in:
The EPP4060T9 is an insulated polypropylene carrier that holds nine 400×600mm trays in bakery and catering transport operations. Expanded polypropylene construction provides thermal retention between –40°C and +120°C with measured heat loss of 1–2°C per hour when 75% loaded. Operators use it to move baked goods, hot prepared dishes, and chilled products between production areas and service points.
Commercial Application
Bakeries load finished products at batch end and transport to retail display or delivery vehicles. The carrier maintains product temperature during transfer, reducing quality loss in multi-site operations. Nine-tier capacity suits standard European gastronorm pan workflows.
Catering operations use the carrier for off-site event service. Hot holding or cold chain maintenance depends on pre-conditioning the interior temperature before loading. Each tier accepts one 400×600mm tray with 635mm internal height for stacked product.
Key Operational Advantages
- Holds 9 trays at 400×600mm standard size with 540×765×687mm external dimensions

Construction & Build Quality
High-density expanded polypropylene forms the body and lid. The material absorbs impact without cracking and maintains insulation properties through repeated thermal cycling. Black pigment resists visible staining in daily commercial use.
- EPP foam structure provides both insulation and structural rigidity
- Material remains food-safe under EU contact regulations
- 100% recyclable polypropylene at end of service life
- Molded construction eliminates joints that harbour bacteria

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What tray dimensions does the EPP4060T9 accommodate?
A: The carrier holds nine 400×600mm trays in standard European gastronorm format. Internal dimensions of 410×580mm provide clearance for tray edges. Maximum stack height is 635mm across all nine tiers.
Q: How much heat loss occurs during typical transport duration?
A: Temperature drops 1–2°C per hour when the carrier is over 75% full and the lid remains closed. Pre-heating or pre-cooling the interior improves thermal performance. Empty space reduces insulation effectiveness.
Q: Can this carrier go through commercial dishwashers?
A: Yes. EPP material withstands commercial dishwasher temperatures and detergents. The molded construction has no seams where water can collect. Dishwasher compatibility supports daily hygiene protocols.
Q: What is the operational temperature range?
A: The carrier functions between –40°C and +120°C. Frozen product transport and hot holding both fall within material limits. Thermal shock from rapid temperature changes does not damage EPP structure.
Q: What does the 7.7 kg empty weight mean for manual handling?
A: The carrier weighs 7.7 kg before loading. Fully loaded weight depends on tray contents and must stay within manual handling limits for your operation. Nine trays of dense product may require two-person transport.
