#@@# Material Strength#@#
Fiberglass construction delivers high impact resistance while maintaining a low unit weight of approximately 2.08 pounds, allowing staff to carry full loads without excessive fatigue. Operators will notice fewer cracked or warped trays compared with molded plastics, reducing replacement cycles and inventory spend.
#@@# Generous Dimensions#@#
An 18 by 14 inch platform provides a broad surface area for plates, cartons, and utensils, while a 0.75 inch profile stacks compactly for storage. Managers can stage multiple trays on shelves or carts to speed service lines and minimize clutter on counters.
#@@# Dishwasher Durability#@#
Design qualifies for machine washing, enabling rapid sanitation between uses and supporting HACCP cleaning regimes. Staff will complete turnover faster and maintain consistent cleanliness levels without handwashing bottlenecks.
#@@# Stable Rectangular Form#@#
A solid rectangular shape resists tipping and accommodates trays, bowls, and portion containers in fixed positions to reduce spills during transport. Servers gain predictable load placement, improving speed and reducing rework from accidents.
#@@# Stacking Efficiency#@#
Flat profile and consistent dimensions allow tight nesting to maximize cabinet and cart capacity, enabling kitchens to stock larger quantities within the same footprint. Buyers will lower storage footprint costs and simplify inventory replenishment.
#@@# Regulatory Compliance#@#
NSF certification confirms the tray meets applicable public health and safety standards for food contact use in institutional environments.
