Bay - Meal Trolley

Additional Considerations:

• The size and type of meal trolleys to be accommodated will be dependent on service requirements and food service models (re-thermalisation, cook fresh, cook chill, mid-meals, etc.) and will need to be confirmed to inform spatial and services requirements.
• Consider manoeuvrability of the meal trolley to be used to ensure adequate clearance. Most meal trolleys have 2 x fixed and 2 x swivel wheels which limit movement to position in the bay.  Bay may be designed without one end wall to improve trolley access and reduce WHS risks from push/pull movements with certain types of trolleys.
• The Bay should be deep enough to ensure trolleys do not impede corridor circulation; minimum recommended depth is 1200mm, however, the depth may need to increase to 1500mm depending on the trolley selected.
• Special power may be required for re-thermalisation trolleys.
