Non Slip Trays

How to choose the right Non Slip Trays

• Match tray size and shape to your service style, from compact bar trays to larger rectangular options for food and buffet service.
• Choose materials such as polypropylene or polycarbonate for lightweight everyday use, or fibreglass and stainless steel for heavy-duty environments.
• Consider the volume of service in your bar, cafe or canteen and select thicker, more robust trays for high-traffic sites.
• Look for trays with raised edges or handles where extra control is needed, such as when carrying full drink rounds.
• Ensure the non-slip surface is suitable for glassware, crockery and trays coming straight from the dishwasher.
• Check stackability and storage footprint so trays can be stored neatly on shelves or tray stands when not in use.

Care and maintenance

• Clean trays regularly with warm water and mild detergent, following the manufacturer guidelines for dishwasher use.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage the non-slip coating or textured surface.
• Allow trays to dry fully before stacking to prevent moisture build-up and potential warping or staining.
• Inspect surfaces frequently for wear, peeling or cracks and replace any trays that compromise grip or hygiene.
• Store trays flat on shelves or tray stands to maintain shape and protect edges from knocks.
• Keep non-slip surfaces free from grease build-up to maintain maximum grip and serving safety.
