Matfer Bourgeat Optimo 2/1GN 15-Shelf Racking Trolley

The Matfer Bourgeat Optimo racking trolley is a heavy-duty mobile storage unit designed to hold and transport standard 2/1 GN pans across a commercial kitchen or catering operation. With 15 shelves arranged at even spacing throughout the frame, it provides an organised, secure way to move gastronorm pans in quantity — whether loaded with prepped ingredients, cooked dishes, or used serviceware being cleared from a service area.

In busy kitchen environments, particularly banqueting, contract catering, and high-volume production sites, efficient movement of GN pans between prep, cooking, holding, and wash-up areas has a direct effect on service flow. A trolley of this capacity allows a single operator to shift a substantial volume of pans in one movement rather than multiple trips, which reduces congestion and saves time during peak periods. The stainless steel construction holds up well under the repetitive use and frequent cleaning that commercial kitchens demand.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Consistent shelf spacing across all 15 levels, accommodating standard 2/1 GN pans without adjustment
• Four castors for smooth movement when fully loaded, including across uneven floor surfaces common in older kitchens
• Stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and cleans down quickly between uses
• Open frame design that allows good visibility of pan contents at a glance
• Substantial trolley load capacity suitable for heavily loaded pans during bulk production shifts

No electrical or water connection is required. The main practical considerations are floor space and access routes — a fully loaded 15-shelf trolley is a sizeable unit, and it is worth confirming that corridor widths, doorways, and lift dimensions on your site will accommodate it comfortably before ordering. For smaller operations or tighter spaces, a reduced-shelf version of this trolley may be a more practical fit.

This trolley is well suited to banqueting kitchens, central production units, contract catering operations, and any high-volume site where GN pans are moved in quantity as part of a regular workflow. Smaller or lower-throughput kitchens may find a shorter trolley with fewer shelves easier to manage day to day.
