ROCAM HIRA 500 M3 Serving Trolley with Custom Colour Options

A mobile serving station on three tiers keeps hot or cold plated meals, beverages and service ware within arm's reach during service. The trolley rolls on four swivel castors, two of which can be locked to hold position while staff load or unload. Its low weight and compact footprint allow it to navigate tight corridors and lift lobbies without blocking traffic, yet the laminated wood shelves provide a stable surface for trays, chafing dishes or glass racks.

The trolley's frame is built from rounded chromed steel tube, which resists corrosion and wipes clean after each shift. Shelves are finished in a durable laminate that withstands spills, scratches and frequent sanitising. Non-marking bumpers on each corner protect walls and door frames from scuffs, while the swivel castors pivot smoothly to steer the unit through doorways and around corners.

Operation is straightforward: unlock the brakes, roll the trolley to the required station, lock the brakes again, and load or unload each tier. The top shelf can be specified with a stainless-steel coating for tasks that need extra hygiene or heat resistance. Optional chromed wire retaining bars clip onto the edges of any shelf to prevent items sliding off during transit, and an extractable shelf slides out to create a temporary work surface for plating or garnishing.

The frame is finished in chrome, while the shelves are available in twenty-two colours from silver and white sand to anthracite and veined black. This allows the trolley to match existing kitchen or front-of-house colour schemes without repainting. The entire unit arrives flat-packed in a carton measuring 110 × 60 × 25 mm for easy handling and assembly.

Construction consists of a chromed steel tube frame and laminated wood shelves. Four 100 mm swivel castors, two of which can be fitted with brakes, support the 22 kg weight. The overall dimensions of 890 × 470 × 920 mm create a footprint that fits alongside standard worktops and under most pass-through hatches.

Controls are limited to the brake levers on the castors, which lock the trolley in place when engaged. No electrical supply is required, so the unit can be used anywhere in the building without trailing cables.

The 22 kg weight allows one person to move the trolley by hand, while the 890 mm height places the top shelf at a comfortable working level for most staff. The 470 mm width ensures the trolley can pass through standard doorways and service lifts without needing to be tilted or disassembled.

Cleaning involves wiping the chromed frame and laminated shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The non-marking bumpers can be removed for thorough cleaning if needed, and the castors should be checked periodically for debris that could impede movement.

Optional extras include chromed wire retaining bars to secure items on the shelves, an extractable shelf for additional workspace, and a stainless-steel top coating for the upper shelf. The trolley can also be ordered with two castors fitted with brake kits instead of the standard swivel castors.
