Ultimate FAQ Guide to Stainless Steel Dining Cart

What Are Some Advantages Of Stainless Steel Dining Carts?

Stainless steel is very resistant to various conditions like heat, humidity, impact, and chemicals.

Thus, a stainless steel dining cart will serve you longer than other types of materials.

Stainless steel—like other metals—is non-porous, making it a hygienic material to cook and serve food on.

Thus, no toxins or bacteria will settle and get absorbed into the material.

Stainless steel is easy to clean, is durable, and requires very little maintenance.

Stainless steel can also be recycled.

Stainless steel dining carts provide a sleek, industrial look, which can add style and functionality to your home, restaurant, or hotel.

Stainless steel dining carts are great for many applications, so contact us for a request any time!

What Are Some Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel Dining Carts?

Stainless steel dining carts may not be ideal for you if you worry about noise, scratches, or fingerprints since stainless steel is susceptible to these.

If you are using metal cutlery or plates, they will clang against the stainless steel surface of dining carts.

This may be bothersome; although you can soften the noise with cloth or napkins, as well as install an insulating Andermatt, so the noise can be minimized.

Scratches can also appear on stainless steel surfaces, but that depends on the polish you choose.

For example, mirror polish will suffer from scratches the most, while a brushed finish will hide the scratches. 

The same principle goes for fingerprints. 

Thus, although there are certain disadvantages, they are small and easily fixable.

What Type Of Stainless Steel Is Used For Dining Carts?

Stainless steel is made by adding chromium, nickel, and molybdenum in different proportions to the iron-carbon alloy. 

Steel grades differ in the content of all these additives. 

316 stainless steel grade protects the best against salt spray, certain acids and bases, and high temperatures because of its higher concentration of molybdenum. 

Stainless steel

Grade 316 is, thus, really good for carrying around food and being used in commercial kitchens.

Grade 304 is cheaper and more common in general use than grade 316, and it is also very durable.

There are also 316L or 304L stainless steel grades. 

Grades 316L and 304L have a lower carbon content, making them a little bit stronger. 

However, these types of steel are not very frequently used on the market. 

Steel grade 430 is also very popular and cheap, but less durable than grades 304 and 316. 

Grade 430 is less resistant to corrosion, although it has a high concentration of chromium. 

Another stainless steel grade that can be used for dining carts is 201.

This steel grade is rich in manganese and nitrogen, making it great for cold environments.

This steel is not as corrosion-proof, but it is tough.

We especially recommend grades 304 and 316 for stainless steel dining carts: because one is cheap and the other is exceptionally durable.

Do Stainless Steel Dining Carts Rust?

Stainless steel does not corrode.

That is, unless it comes in contact with concentrated bleach. 

This is why it is important to clean your stainless steel dining cart, but not with harsh chemicals.

Some substances discolor stainless steel, so it may appear rusted, but it is not corroded.

Staining

This is known as tea-staining, but it does not affect the lifetime of your stainless steel dining cart.

Things like bleach, smoke, salt, and harsh water typically stain stainless steel, damaging its aesthetic value. 

Also, high heat may produce heat tint on the surface of the dining cart.

Are Stainless Steel Dining Carts Resistant To Heat?

Out of all materials you can use to make dining carts, stainless steel will resist heat the best!

However, because it is a metal, it will also conduct heat.

This means that if you put a hot cup or dish on it, the dining cart may get very hot as well—and you or your personnel may get a slight burn.

So, be careful!

What Applications Are There For Stainless Steel dining carts?

Stainless steel dining carts can be used in many applications.

They are used in residential, commercial, academic, and medical fields. 

They are similar to trolleys and kitchen carts. 

Stainless steel dining carts can be used to serve food in upper-class residential homes.

 Dining cart

These dining carts are often small and are used to serve desserts or snacks. 

Commercial applications for stainless steel dining carts include serving food in restaurants, hotels, school cafeterias, cafes aboard a ship, train, or airplane, anywhere where food needs to be wheeled around or catered.

What Designs Of Stainless Steel Dining Carts Are There?

There are many designs of stainless steel dining carts. 

The most basic ones are square or rectangular, oval or semi-oval, triangular, and circular.

These refer to the shapes of shelves, or tiers. 

By the way, you can have as many tiers as you need, but usually there are 1-3 tiers.

Square and rectangular dining carts are the most popular because they are simple and easy to manufacture, and thus cheap. 

Restaurants are great applications for these dining carts. 

Oval or semi-oval dining carts are a little fancier than rectangular ones, and they are great for hotels. 

As for circular and triangular carts, these are usually small and are perfect for snacks and desserts in upper-class homes and hotels.

What Is A Knocked-Down Dining Cart?

Knocked-down carts are basically utility carts that are easy to take apart and put together, and they are heavy-duty dining carts for catering in hotels and commercial kitchens.

What Types Of Handles Do Stainless Steel Dining Carts Have?

Dining carts can have a variety of different handles, depending on the design of the dining cart, which can be as creative as you want.

There are several basic shapes of handles. 

Handles can be horizontal, vertical, or ledged.

Horizontal handles are very simplistic and can be great for big carts that don’t require the person to bend too much.

 Horizontal handle

Also, such handles may be more difficult to control, so they may be better for spaces with linear paths, such as hospitals.

Vertical handles rise straight up and also look simple.

Vertical handle

They are easier to control and are great for smaller carts because they minimize how much personnel has to bend down to wheel it around, and long vertical handles look elegant on small dining carts.

Ledged handles look the most elegant because they rise up and turn horizontally.

  Curved handle

These are the easiest to navigate with, so they are great for crowded spaces like restaurants.

They look good on any stainless steel cart. 

Handles can also have corners or rounded edges.

This pertains both to the handlebar and to the way it curves—if it is a ledged handle.

Handles can be cube-like with corners, which makes them look modern and industrial, or they can be rounded like bars, which look classic and elegant.

Ledged handles can turn at a 90-degree angle or curve smoothly.

Usually, cube-like handles make sharp turns, while bars curve.

This design is up to you and the aesthetic you are going for. 

Another handle design is diagonal.

Here, the dining cart would have crisscrossed diagonal handles at a slant.

This looks very stylish.

   Diagonal handles

Finally, there can be several types of handles; so, you can have both horizontal and vertical handles to make the dining cart more versatile. 

   Multiple handles

Furthemore, there can be extra handles/bars.

These are just small horizontal sidebars used to hang towels and napkins on, which is useful for any dining cart—personnel can easily wipe the dining table at any time. 

As well, you can request handles from multiple sides—not just from the side the dining cart will be pushed from.

We mean side handles, which are great in conjunction with swivel casters, letting you push the cart from any direction. 

Side handles

Can I Request Glass Panels On Stainless Steel Dining Carts?

Yes!

It is common for dining carts to have glass shelves, which look elegant.

It adds levity and style to the stainless steel cart.

Glass shelves are especially great for small tea-trolleys and snack carts. 

In this case, there will be a stainless steel frame and a thick piece of glass that is put onto the frame.

Clear and dark glass dining cart

The glass can be regular clear glass, or you can also request coloured glass, with dark brown being a popular choice. 

What Are Some Additional Design Features Can I Add To A Stainless Steel Dining Cart?

Stainless steel dining carts can be equipped with features such as foldable side tables, shelves, drawers, grilles, decorative bars, rubber guards, boxes, wine racks, and so much more. 

Foldable side tables, or foldable worktops, add a working area to the dining cart, and can be used for catering or in medical applications.

Such worktops provide the dining cart with functionality and mobility. 

Dining carts can also have shelves and rails for more efficient storage.

You can even request wine racks for hotel dining carts.

Shelves for stainless steel dining carts can also be made from grilles.

Grilles can also be used to make a compartment or make a guard around the dining cart surface, which is useful for lower shelves of a dining cart, especially in applications where there is risk of an unbalanced footing—like on a ship. 

Stainless steel dining carts can have various other storage units with doors, which can be equipped with locks.

Also, we can manufacture sets of drawers that can be used for cutlery, medications, small snacks, towels, napkins, and anything else that you need.

 Stainless steel drawers

Around the top, we can also install a guard rail or a decorative bar to prevent things from falling off the dining cart. 

Decorative bars and plates are great for dining carts.

They are often put up around the surface, or along the sides in some shape, like a circle or a rectangle. 

       Decorative side guards

As another form of protection, you can request rubber guards at the legs of the dining cart.

They protect the cart from getting damaged from impact with something like a wall.

   Rubber guards

They also protect people from getting hurt if the cart happens to bump into someone’s leg. 

Stainless steel dining carts can also have side boxes for utensils.

How To Pick The Right Type of Dining Cart Casters?

A wheel and a caster are not the same thing.

A wheel is a round object that rolls, rotating on an axle that passes through the center of the wheel. 

A wheel can be solid or spoked. 

Wheels can be made from polyurethane, steel, hard rubber, polyolefin, phenolic, nylon, and high-temperature-resistant material. 

 A caster is a frame that holds the wheel.

This frame can be either a swivel or a rigid frame. 

A swivel caster is capable of rotating 360 degrees.

Such casters are very mobile, so they are great for hospital and restaurant settings.

A rigid caster frame is primarily used for straight-line travel, which means rolling strictly forward or backward.

Such casters are good for places with long straight halls, like hotels.

They provide stability, although at the cost of agility.

In most instances, both a swivel caster and a rigid caster have two “legs” that hold the wheel. 

Some types of casters include plate, locking, stem, and hollow kingpin. 

Plate casters have a square mounting surface, which is good for heavy-duty stainless steel dining carts.

Locking casters have a locking mechanism that prevents the casters from rolling, which is useful when you need to secure the dining cart in place.

Casters can also have brakes that do the same thing.

Caster types

Stem casters are mounted by a rod, which gives the dining cart a sleek look perfect for restaurants, and hotel room service dining carts. 

Hollow kingpin casters do not have any stems or mounting surfaces; instead they can be screwed to the dining cart.

Kingpinless casters are essentially plate casters. 

Some things to consider about the wheels: what is the maximum load you will put on the dining cart, what surface are the wheels for, what sort of obstacles will the wheels bump into, are there special conditions of the environment.

   Dining cart caster

These will influence the size and the material of the wheels.

Larger wheels are more heavy-duty and will pass easier over bumps.

They are also more stable. 

Smaller wheels are more agile and look more elegant. 

Polyurethane or Rubber wheels are resistant to slipping, do not produce noise, and are delicate on hardwood floors.

Decorative stainless steel wheels

Wheels can also be decorated with various designs.

What Coatings For Stainless Steel Dining Carts Are There?

You can request various polishes and finishes, depending on the looks and functionality you want from your stainless steel dining cart.

Various finishes include satin, brushed, mirror, as well as custom polishes like a cross, vibration, and many more. 

Satin polish is an abrasive polish that uses aluminum oxide as an abrasive substance. 

 Polishing stainless steel

This finish produces a fairly smooth surface good for stainless steel dining carts. 

There is also brushed finish, which can be referred to as ‘hairline’. 

This finish shows lines and is rougher to touch.

Brushed polish does not show scratches and fingerprints.

  Brushed vs satin polish

Mirror polish presents a very smooth mirror surface.

It is easier to clean, but any scratches and fingerprints are very prominent on such a surface.

Mirror finish

Cross polish is similar to brushed, but the lines meet at 45-degree angles.

Vibration polish is basically brushed polish, but the lines are non-directional. 

Such polish reflects the light in an interesting way, looking expensive, which may be great for residential dining carts.

It also protects from fingerprints.

  Vibration polish

Most often, however, mirror or satin polishes are done for dining carts.

You can also request different decorative coatings that add color to stainless steel.

Such coatings are usually colored metals that are electroplated—and sometimes lacquered as well—on top of stainless steel.

Electroplating is a process that involves passing an electrical current through 2 metals, where one metal takes ions from the other metal.

As a result, one metal gets coating with another, while the other corrodes.

Stainless steel can be electroplated with various metals. 

You can request brass, bronze, or gold for a yellow, orange, or warm brown color.

Copper goes for reddish and pink colors.

Chrome, nickel, cadmium, and pewter give cool-tones silvers and greys. 

   Electroplated coatings

You can also request stainless steel to be painted.

We can do any color, but the most popular colors for stainless steel dining carts are black and white.

What Is An Edge Profile?

An edge profile is the design of the dining cart’s edges.

Different types of edges have different aesthetics and functional purposes.

There are several ways to design an edge: square, beveled, bullnose, and marine.

Square edges— also called ‘flat’ edges—are the most common ones, and they look very professional.

Beveled edges are sloped either on the top, or both top and bottom. 

    Edge profiles

This creates a safer edge since there is no sharp top part.

Beveled edges also have a round look combined with the strictness of the slope.

Bullnose edges are rounded, providing safety against bumping into a sharp edge.

Such an edge profile is especially good for residential homes with children or entertainment places for children, since kids can hit their head on the dining cart, and rounded edges won’t hurt as much. 

Marine edges are slightly raised to prevent liquid from splashing onto the floor.

Marine edge

Such edges are popular aboard ships in the cooking spaces—if the ship rolls on the waves, food won’t fall off the dining cart. 

Also, such edges are useful in medical applications and food catering.

Since the dining cart is always moving, marine edges prevent food or drink from falling off of it.
