Types of kitchen trolley

There are two basic types of kitchen trolleys: traditional or collapsible. Traditional models may or may not be equipped with castor wheels and generally feature several shelves for a range of handy storage options. Collapsible models can be folded down and up as required in order to save space when not in use.

Why use a kitchen trolley?

A highly versatile piece of furniture, kitchen trolleys can serve a range of purposes.

Mobile serving trolley

While mainly designed for use in the kitchen, trolleys aren't limited to this room. If your trolley is on castor wheels, it can be used to transport food and drink effortlessly between rooms saving you both time and energy.

Additional storage solution

Equipped with drawers and shelves, a kitchen trolley can also act as an additional storage unit. Some models even come with compartments for bottles or built-in storage baskets. Taking up less room than most traditional units, fixed models can even accommodate a kitchen appliance. These highly practical units can be installed against a wall or at the end of a worktop.

Kitchen trolley features

A handy piece of kitchen furniture, your choice of kitchen trolley will depend on various criteria.

Material

There are many different materials to choose from. Your choice of material will, in part, determine the stability of your kitchen trolley.

  • Wood can lend a pleasant natural feel to the space as well as providing great durability;

  • Stainless steel looks up-to-date and is surprisingly lightweight;

  • Plastic is a very good value option.

Dimensions

Different sizes of kitchen service are also available to match your needs. The size of trolley you choose will depend on the amount of free space you have in the kitchen.

Wheels

If you are considering a kitchen trolley with wheels, you should also take into account the material of the wheels; for example, plastic is best on tiled floors while rubber is better suited to wooden flooring.
