Capacity and Size: Determine the capacity you need based on the volume of food you will be transporting. Consider the number and size of pans or trays you typically use. Look for pan carriers with multiple compartments or adjustable shelves to accommodate different pan sizes and configurations.
Insulation and Temperature Retention: Opt for pan carriers with excellent insulation properties to maintain the desired food temperatures during transport. Look for carriers with thick insulation walls and tight-fitting lids. Consider the type of insulation material used, such as foam or polyurethane, and its insulation rating or duration. A longer insulation duration ensures that food stays hot or cold for extended periods.
Durability and Construction: Choose pan carriers made of durable materials that can withstand the demands of commercial use. Look for carriers constructed from sturdy, impact-resistant materials like polyethylene or polypropylene. Consider features such as reinforced corners, reinforced hinges, and strong latches or closures to ensure the carrier can withstand frequent opening, closing, and transportation.
Ease of Use and Mobility: Look for pan carriers with ergonomic handles or straps that provide a comfortable grip for carrying and lifting. Consider carriers with smooth-rolling casters or wheels for easy mobility, especially when transporting heavy loads. Ensure the wheels are durable and suitable for the type of terrain in your establishment.
Compatibility and Versatility: Check that the pan carrier is compatible with the type of pans or trays you use in your operation. Look for carriers that accommodate standard sizes, such as full-size, half-size, or GN pans. Some pan carriers offer additional features like built-in shelving, racks, or dividers, allowing you to transport different food items simultaneously without mixing or cross-contamination.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Consider the ease of cleaning and maintenance. Look for pan carriers with smooth interior surfaces that are easy to wipe down or clean with standard sanitizing agents. Check if the carrier is dishwasher safe or if it can be easily disassembled for thorough cleaning when necessary.
