Does anyone else get nervous pushing a full one of these?
Whenever I have to handle one, it always feels like I'm one unseen bump away from losing a hundred salads.

I didn’t know this was a thing. Makes me thing about large scale dim sum where servers bring out cart after cart loaded with steam baskets

Never seen that in my life

Only ever saw one once and we never used it. Just use open salad racks with sheet pans. They hold more salads with the same amount of space and give a little bit of cover so the salads aren’t just sitting out in the open. Only place I’ve seen your holder style consistently is on cruise ships bit they don’t move more than a few feet within the kitchen before servers grab the..

Used to work at a 2,000 cap hotel in the banquet department. Anytime I saw these come out I knew it was gonna be a shitty day

These things are terrifying

What is it and what does it do?

Yeah, you need even floor for those mofos.

Had a new colleague try to push one of these over the floor mats (the kind with the holes) before getting a new one torn by the sous lol. Almost as bad as handing it off to the stewarding dept to swing around and pull over bumps

Yes, place I worked at had one with a messed up wheel, it would definitely take a couple people to move it very slowly through the kitchen.

Only shocked that I made it to my destination with so many still intact

They’re terrifying. We have a double wide one and only the wheels on one side pivot. The other side only goes straight. It is a nightmare to use.

Saran wrap. On the inside. Use a smaller junk roll. Then, two people carry gently when needed.

What’s wrong with putting the plates on sheet pans on a speed rack? Love me some speed rack. I want a home and every inch of walk-in fridge/freezer and pantry is just speed racks.

Holy fuck I wish they designed these with those big outdoor wheels to deal with the red kitchen tiles rattling them to pieces

Pull them, don’t push them.
Don’t hold onto them too hard, so if they don’t wanna go over a bump, you don’t pull it over.
Pulling allows you to lift the first wheel(s) over a bump.

What do you call them? We call that a “tree” where I work.

Why have seen caddy bags equipped with better wheels than this atrocity?

Just started working at a country club and never seen one of these things before I started. They look horrifying.

I’ve used these and like them. As long as you’re not hauling ass and slam on the brakes they’re pretty reliable. The pegs are soft rubber so the plates stay put and there is a little adjustment screw or knob so you can ‘calibrate’ the pegs so the plates sit level.

Use plastic wrap on them to tightly wrap them in when transporting
