Maintenance Tips        

• Clean daily using warm water and mild detergent to remove grease, food residue, and debris from the welded aluminum frame and tray slides.
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals to preserve the rust-free aluminum finish and welded joints.
• Inspect casters regularly (5” swivel heavy-duty type) for wear, debris buildup, and smooth rotation; tighten mounting bolts as needed.
• Check structural welds and frame alignment weekly, especially under heavy lug loads (up to ~14 lug capacity).
• Do not overload shelves and distribute weight evenly to prevent frame stress and maintain stability during transport.
• Keep wheels free of grease, string, and food particles to ensure safe movement in wet or tight kitchen spaces.
• Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain hygiene in walk-ins, prep areas, and dishrooms.
• Store indoors on level surfaces to avoid frame strain and caster misalignment over time.
