GLHOE Rolling Shopping Basket 2003 for Catering Supplies

A rolling shopping basket moves bulk catering supplies from storeroom to worktop without lifting. The basket sits on wheels, allowing a single operator to push or pull the load along corridors, through doorways and across uneven floors. This method reduces strain on staff and speeds the transfer of heavy or awkward items such as tinned goods, bottled liquids, sacks of flour or cases of fresh produce. The wheels swivel at the front and lock at the rear, giving control when the basket is fully loaded and when it is parked beside a preparation bench or delivery van. To use the basket, the operator loads it from the top, stacking items so the weight is balanced and nothing projects beyond the rim. Once loaded, the operator releases the rear brakes, steers the basket to the required location, then re-engages the brakes to keep the basket stationary during unloading. The open top and low sides allow quick access to every item, while the rigid frame prevents the load from shifting during transit. The GLHOE Rolling Shopping Basket 2003 is constructed from a tubular steel frame with a welded wire mesh basket. The frame is finished in a protective coating to resist corrosion in humid kitchen environments. Four wheels are fitted: two fixed at the rear and two swivel at the front, each with a brake mechanism. The basket's dimensions—390 mm deep, 400 mm wide and 680 mm high—provide a 60-litre volume, sufficient for a standard catering order of dry goods or chilled items. The basket requires no controls; operation is manual. Its footprint of 390 x 400 mm fits through standard kitchen doorways and alongside worktops, while the 680 mm height allows stacking of items without exceeding eye level. The 60-litre capacity determines the maximum load volume, though the actual weight limit depends on the strength of the frame and wheels rather than the stated volume. Cleaning is straightforward: the wire mesh can be wiped down with a damp cloth or hosed off if food debris accumulates. The steel frame should be dried after cleaning to prevent rust, particularly in areas where the coating may be chipped. The welded steel frame stays rigid while the basket is pulled over kitchen tiles and loading docks. The GL2003 is supplied as a single unit. Minimum order quantity applies: 90 units.
