Traymobiles are trolleys with trays that can be used within a kitchen environment for transporting food, ingredients and preparation tools without having to carry them. Traymobiles can be fixed in height or be height adjustable by either altering leg length or tray height. Tray options vary in material, size, carrying capacity and ability to be removed for cleaning or transferring. Height adjustable traymobiles come in both one or two tray models.
Workplace solutions and adjustments:
For people with disabilities resulting in either limited carrying capacity or impaired balance that are working within kitchen or meal preparation environments, traymobiles can enable increased independence and productivity for food and equipment transport. Having a model that is height adjustable ensures it can be appropriately adjusted to suit the person or can be used at different heights by a range of employees, increasing it’s flexibility (Independent Living Centres Australia Inc. 2008).
