Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Richmond bakery trolley frames durable and low-maintenance?
Richmond bakery trolleys are manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel for food safety, strength, and corrosion resistance. Smooth welds allow easy cleaning and sanitisation, while a nesting base design saves storage space. Each trolley is fitted with glass-filled nylon castors for reliable rolling under heavy use. With bolt-on fittings, castors can be replaced quickly without special tools, keeping downtime minimal and maintenance simple.
Are oven-ready or temperature-resistant wheels available?
Yes. Richmond offers wheels rated from −30 °C to +280 °C, making them suitable for ovens, freezers, and temperature-sensitive environments. While nylon wheels are standard, options such as polymer, resin, or silicone-based wheels are also available. These can be paired with stainless steel or zinc-plated housings and high-temperature bearings with food-grade grease for reliable use in commercial baking and food processing.
Can bakery trolleys be tailored to specific tray sizes or applications?
Absolutely. Richmond supplies standard bakery trolleys in common industry sizes but also offers custom builds through its in-house engineering team. Adjustments can include tray pitch, capacity, and castor types—such as high-temperature wheels for ovens or soft wheels for protecting flooring. This ensures the trolley fits your trays and workflow, streamlining operations in bakeries and food production facilities.
How can I maintain bakery trolleys for long-term use?
For best results, clean trolleys regularly with food-safe detergents to protect stainless steel and maintain hygiene. Check castors for wear, remove debris, and lubricate if required to keep rolling performance smooth. Thanks to their bolt-on design, wheels can be replaced quickly without cutting or grinding. Choosing the right wheel type for high heat, refrigeration, or heavy daily use will further extend service life and ensure reliable performance.
