Stainless Serving Cart Features:

High-quality stainless steel material

Stainless Serving Carts are made of 304 stainless steel, which contains 18% - 20% chromium and 8% - 10.5% nickel, making it highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation. With a hardness of around HV200, it is strong enough to withstand the various pressures of daily use and is not easily deformed or damaged. After professional testing, 304 stainless steel is 7 - 8 times more resistant to corrosion than ordinary carbon steel in a simulated catering environment, and it maintains good performance even when exposed to food residues, detergents and humid environments for a long time. This high-quality stainless steel material ensures the long-term stability and reliability of the trolley, providing users with detailed information.

Rust and corrosion resistance

The 304 stainless steel material of the trolley gives it excellent rust and corrosion resistance. In catering services, trolleys are often exposed to substances such as water, oil, acidic or alkaline food residues, and detergents, but this material can effectively resist the corrosion of these substances. After professional testing, there was no obvious corrosion on the surface of the trolley after being placed continuously for 72 hours in a simulated harsh catering environment (containing high-concentration sodium chloride solution and acidic substances). Compared with ordinary carbon steel trolleys, its service life is extended by about 3-4 times. This anti-rust and corrosion resistance ensures that the trolley maintains a good appearance and performance during long-term use, reduces maintenance costs, and extends its service life.

Moderate sheet thickness

The shelf sheet thickness of the trolley is 1.0-1.2mm. This thickness design has been precisely calculated and repeatedly tested to achieve a balance between lightness and durability while ensuring the structural strength of the trolley. Compared with ordinary stainless steel trolleys with a thickness of 0.8mm, its load-bearing capacity is increased by about 25% and its service life is extended by about 30%. This moderate sheet thickness not only ensures that the trolley can withstand heavier items, but also maintains the flexibility and easy operation of the trolley, which facilitates staff to quickly transport between different areas.

Superb welding quality

The frame and shelves of the trolleys are made with superb welding technology. The welding points have been strictly inspected and have high welding strength to withstand repeated weight impacts. The tensile strength of each welding point reaches 300-350MPa, ensuring that the trolley will not become loose or damaged during long-term use. Compared with some similar products on the market that use simple riveting or low-quality welding, its structural stability is improved by about 40%. This superb welding quality provides a solid foundation for the trolley, ensuring its safety and reliability under high-intensity use.

Strong load-bearing capacity

Stainless Serving Carts have a strong load-bearing capacity. Each shelf layer can withstand a weight of 50-70kg, and the total load capacity of the whole vehicle can reach 100-140kg.
