Cambro – storage, transport and serving equipment (2)

Cambro – professional catering equipment

Cambro has been developing equipment for the foodservice industry since 1951. The manufacturer focuses on products related to, amongst other things, food storage, transport, trays, serving, shelving and the organisation of catering facilities.

As a result, Cambro is not a brand limited to a single product category, but an extensive system used at many stages of a professional kitchen’s operations.

Cambro food storage containers

Cambro containers are among the brand’s core products. The manufacturer offers rectangular and round containers, food boxes, GN catering containers and models designed for storing loose products.

In a professional kitchen, they can be used to store raw materials, prepared ingredients and products used during mise en place.

Cambro GN containers

Cambro GN containers allow food to be organised according to standard catering dimensions. They can be used at preparation stations, in cold stores, at buffets and in other locations utilising the GastroNorm system.

FineDine offered, amongst other things, Cambro GN 1/6 and GN 1/1 polypropylene containers in various capacities, which clearly demonstrates the practical nature of this part of the range.

Camwear – Cambro catering containers

Camwear is one of Cambro’s most recognisable ranges of containers. Within this range, the manufacturer offers containers and lids designed for the professional storage and organisation of products.

FineDine’s archived catalogue includes, amongst other items, lids for Camwear GN 1/2 and GN 1/3 containers, confirming the presence of this range within the brand’s product line-up.

Cambro polypropylene containers

The manufacturer’s range also includes containers made from polypropylene. The material, temperature range and method of use should always be checked in the specifications for the specific model.

One should not automatically assume that all Cambro containers share the same properties, as the brand uses different materials and technologies depending on the series.

Cambro lids for catering containers

The right lid allows you to seal the container and organise stored food more effectively.

When putting together a system, pay attention to the GN size, the series and the compatibility of a specific lid with the container being used.

Cambro containers for mise en place

During mise en place, the chef needs quick access to prepared ingredients. Containers of various capacities allow vegetables, sauces, side dishes, meat products and other menu components to be kept separate.

A standardised container system can simplify the organisation of cold stores and workstations.

Cambro containers for cold stores

In cold stores, it is particularly important to make the most of available space, ensure clear labelling of products and provide easy access to contents.

Cambro develops containers and storage systems precisely as part of the wider organisation of professional catering facilities. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Cambro containers for bulk ingredients

Large quantities of flour, sugar, rice and other ingredients require properly designed storage solutions.

Cambro’s official portfolio includes mobile ingredient containers, which enable the organisation of bulk ingredients in larger kitchens, bakeries and production facilities. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Cambro Food Box

Food Box are larger containers designed for storing and organising food. They are ideal for larger batches of prepared products, as well as in cold stores and warehouses.

It is worth selecting their size according to product turnover, available space and restocking frequency.

Cambro for the safe organisation of food

The manufacturer develops storage systems to support the organisation of products at subsequent stages of kitchen operations. Cambro emphasises, amongst other things, the importance of sealing containers properly and minimising the risk of contamination during storage. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

However, the containers themselves are no substitute for HACCP procedures, temperature control or proper food labelling.

Cambro insulated transport

Cambro insulated transport trolleys are designed to transport prepared dishes between the kitchen and the serving area.

The official product range includes top-loading and front-loading solutions, carriers for catering containers, beverage transport solutions, and both electric and passive systems. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Cam GoBox – food transport

Cam GoBox is a range of lightweight insulated transporters designed for professional food transport.

FineDine offered products from this range, as well as accessories such as lids, Camwarmer heating inserts and Camchiller cooling inserts. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Cam GoBox for catering

Catering companies can use the Cam GoBox system to transport containers of prepared food between the central kitchen and the event venue.

The choice of container size should correspond to GN sizes, the number of portions and the method of loading.

Camwarmer – Cambro heating inserts

Camwarmer is an accessory designed to help maintain temperature during transport in compatible systems.

FineDine’s range included, amongst other items, red Camwarmer inserts for the Cam GoBox GN 1/2. Operating parameters should be selected in accordance with the specifications of the specific carrier and insert. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Camchiller – Cambro cooling inserts

Camchiller enables the transport of products requiring lower temperatures.

FineDine offered, amongst other things, cooling inserts designed for Cam GoBox GN 1/2 transporters. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Transport of hot and cold dishes

Catering and central kitchens often have to handle hot and cold dishes, as well as products requiring different transport conditions, simultaneously.

Cambro’s systematic approach allows separate transport containers and accessories to be selected to meet specific needs, rather than treating the entire food transport process as a single, universal procedure.

Cambro catering trolleys

Cambro catering trolleys are used to move food, trays, crockery, containers and equipment within a facility.

The official product range includes, amongst others, service trolleys, utility trolleys, transport trolleys, catering trolleys and meal delivery systems. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Cambro trolleys for GN containers

Cambro also manufactures dedicated trolleys for GN containers. The design of this type of trolley allows containers to be organised across several levels and transported between workstations.

The manufacturer highlights, amongst other things, the Camshelving GN Food Pan Trolley system as a mobile solution designed specifically for catering containers. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Cambro service trolleys

A service trolley can be used by front-of-house staff, at the buffet, when clearing tables and when organising events.

The choice of design should take into account the number of shelves, the maximum load capacity, the width of walkways and the nature of day-to-day use.

Cambro trays

Cambro trays are used in restaurants, hotels, canteens, bars, room service and catering.

The manufacturer offers a wide range of tray ranges in various sizes, shapes, materials and colours. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Camtray – Cambro catering trays

Camtray is one of Cambro’s most recognisable ranges. The manufacturer describes them as durable and lightweight trays suitable for various foodservice environments, available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

They can be used, amongst other places, in canteens, self-service restaurants, hotels and for room service.

Cambro non-slip trays

Non-slip trays are particularly practical when waiters are carrying drinks, glasses and crockery.

The FineDine catalogue includes, amongst other items, Cambro Mykonos non-slip trays and round serving trays. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

Cambro trays for room service

In hotels, trays can be used to prepare and transport orders as part of room service.

For this purpose, it is advisable to match their size to the crockery, glassware, cutlery and typical breakfast and lunch sets in use.

Cambro trays for canteens

School, staff and hospital canteens, as well as other self-service outlets, require trays that allow the entire meal to be carried comfortably.

Cambro develops dedicated solutions for, amongst others, self-service, schools, healthcare and other mass catering sectors. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Cambro glassware baskets

Cambro baskets and inserts help organise the washing, storage and transport of glassware and tableware.

FineDine currently features, amongst other items, Half Drop and Full Drop inserts with varying numbers of compartments, designed for 500 × 500 mm baskets. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Camrack – Cambro’s basket system

Camrack is a system designed for the professional organisation of glassware, crockery and cutlery during washing, transport and storage.

Different numbers of compartments and stacker heights allow the configuration to be tailored to the dimensions of specific glassware.

How to choose a Cambro basket for glasses?

When making your selection, check the diameter of the glass, its height, the number of compartments and the height of the entire basket with inserts.

A compartment that is too small may cause the glassware to come into contact with the dividers, whilst one that is unnecessarily large limits the number of items that can be washed in a single cycle.

Cambro baskets for transporting glassware

The basket system can continue to be used even after washing is complete, facilitating the storage and movement of glassware.

This is particularly important in catering, hotels and banquet venues, where large quantities of glassware are regularly moved between the storeroom, the washing-up area and the dining room.

Camshelving – Cambro catering shelving systems

Camshelving is a wide range of Cambro shelving systems designed for storerooms, cold stores, freezers, dishwashing areas and other back-of-house areas.

The manufacturer currently offers, amongst others, the Premium, Elements XTRA and Basics Plus ranges, as well as fixed, mobile and high-density configurations. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

Cambro shelving for cold stores

In cold stores, it is important to be able to adjust the height of the shelves, ensure good air circulation and have easy access to products.

Cambro designs Camshelving systems with intensive foodservice operations and frequent loading and unloading of products in mind. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}

Shelving for dry storage

Dry storage areas can utilise shelving to store packaging, crockery, food products and kitchen equipment.

The ability to reposition the shelves makes it easier to adapt to different packaging sizes and fluctuating stock levels. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

Cambro mobile shelving

Selected Camshelving systems are also available as mobile units.

This can facilitate warehouse reorganisation, cleaning of the space and the movement of products in larger kitchens and preparation areas.

Cambro for restaurants

A restaurant can use Cambro at almost every stage of its back-of-house operations: in the cold store, dry store, during mise en place, at the serving line, in the wash-up area and for front-of-house service.

Containers, trays, baskets and shelving can be selected according to specific workstations and the type of menu.

Cambro for hotels

In a hotel, the equipment can support the restaurant, room service, breakfasts, banquets, conferences, storage facilities and meal transport.

The breadth of the Cambro range allows separate systems to be created for individual departments within a single establishment. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}

Cambro for catering

Catering is one of the most natural applications for Cambro equipment. This requires a combination of containers, insulated transport containers, thermal inserts, trolleys, trays and glass protection systems.

The right combination of these elements helps to organise the product’s journey from the central kitchen to the event venue.

Cambro for central kitchens

Kitchens preparing large numbers of portions require solutions that allow for standardised storage and transport.

GN systems, racking, trolleys and larger-capacity containers enable better organisation of the individual stages of production.

Cambro for canteens and catering

Canteens, schools and catering establishments can use trays, containers, transport trolleys and trolleys to handle large numbers of repetitive meals.

Cambro’s official portfolio includes dedicated categories for schools, healthcare and meal distribution systems. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}

Cambro for bakeries and patisseries

Bakeries and patisseries can use ingredient containers, food boxes, shelving and transport solutions.

In larger-scale production, it is particularly important to organise flour, sugar and other raw materials used in large quantities.

Cambro for buffets

Cambro also develops equipment for food presentation and serving, including food bars, salad bars, bowls, tongs, ladles and mobile stations. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}

This can complement the standard equipment found in a breakfast buffet, canteen or self-service station.

Cambro for serving drinks

The manufacturer’s portfolio also includes jugs, decanters, beverage containers and insulated transport solutions.

In hotels or catering establishments, they can be used at conferences, breakfasts, events and other forms of beverage service. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}

Cambro for bars

Non-slip trays, organisers, ice containers and glass washing and storage systems are useful in bars.

The manufacturer offers, amongst other things, Ice Caddies, Versa organisers, bar trays and a wide range of glassware baskets. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}

Cambro for catering wash-up areas

A wash-up area requires an efficient flow of glassware, plates, cutlery and trays. Baskets, trolleys and storage systems help to minimise unnecessary handling of items between successive stages.

In larger establishments, well-designed washroom logistics are just as important as the efficiency of the dishwasher itself.

Organising the back-of-house with Cambro

Cambro’s greatest strength lies in the ability to treat individual products as components of a single system.

Rack → container → trolley → conveyor → tray → washing basket can create a logical flow of equipment through the successive zones of a catering establishment.

How to choose Cambro containers?

First, you need to determine the type of product to be stored, the required capacity, the size and the location of use.

It is worth checking the material, dimensions, temperature range, compatible lids and stackability of a specific model.

How to choose Cambro containers for food transport?

When transporting food, the number of portions, the size of the containers used, the type of dishes and the time between preparation and service are important.

One type of carrier will be suitable for a few GN containers transported for catering, whilst another will be better suited to the regular distribution of large numbers of meals.

How to choose a Cambro tray?

Non-slip trays work well for waiter service, whilst canteens or self-service areas require larger rectangular sizes.

Before purchasing, it is worth checking the dimensions of the containers, the amount of space available on the table and how the trays will be stored once service is complete.

How to choose Camshelving racks?

The key is to measure the available space and determine the type of products to be stored.

You should take into account the length and depth of the shelves, the height of the entire shelving unit, the intended load, and whether the system is to be fixed or mobile.

How should you assemble Cambro in a restaurant?

There’s no need to implement the brand’s entire range straight away. A good place to start is with containers used for mise en place and baskets for the most frequently used glassware.

The system can then be expanded to include shelving units, trolleys, carts and other equipment tailored to the specific organisational challenges of the premises.

Different materials in the Cambro range

Cambro uses different materials depending on the product’s function – from the various plastics used in containers and trays to the construction of storage systems.

Do not assume that all containers have the same composition, temperature resistance or cleaning requirements. Always check the specifications for the specific product number.

Cleaning Cambro products

The cleaning method depends on the material and design. Baskets, containers, trays, trolleys and racking components may have different requirements for professional cleaning.

It is safest to follow the instructions for the specific product and not to apply the recommendations for one product family to the entire range.

Labelling and rotation of products

Well-organised containers should be compatible with the food labelling and rotation system adopted at the premises in question.

Cambro also offers solutions for labelling stored food as part of its Food Storage range. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}

Cambro for domestic use too

Cambro containers can also be useful at home, particularly for those who prepare larger quantities of food, bake or organise their pantry.

Professional-sized containers are useful, amongst other things, for storing flour, rice, pre-prepared dishes and for larger family gatherings.

Cambro – a system from storage to service

Cambro stands out for its ability to support many stages of catering operations under a single brand. The official catalogue now includes products related to storage, transport, trays, service, shelving, dishwashing and meal distribution. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}

This means that equipment can be selected not only as individual products, but as components of the logistics process for a specific restaurant, hotel or catering company.
