Serving Tray Esmeyer OHIO round black plastic with rubberized surface – 1 pc

The Esmeyer OHIO round serving tray in black is a lightweight plastic tray with a rubberized surface designed to improve grip and reduce slipping when carrying drinks, plates and small dishes. Supplied as a single piece, the tray combines a slim, circular form with a non-slip top layer that helps keep items stable during transport in home or hospitality environments. Its easy-to-clean plastic construction makes it suitable for regular use where simple maintenance and reliable traction are required.

Advantages

The rubberized surface increases friction between the tray and items placed on it, reducing the risk of accidental sliding. The plastic build keeps the tray light and manageable for one-handed carrying while remaining durable for everyday use. Its round shape offers an even surface area for multiple glasses or plates, and the black finish provides a neutral, unobtrusive look that fits a variety of interior styles.

Suitable for

• Serving drinks and snacks in restaurants, cafés or at catered events
• Transporting plates and cutlery between kitchen and dining area in home use
• Use by waiting staff and for room service in hotels and guesthouses
• Carrying multiple small dishes or condiments during table setups

When it may not be suitable

The tray is made of lightweight plastic and is intended for moderate loads; it is not designed for carrying very heavy objects or large stacks of plates. It may not be appropriate where high-temperature resistance or long-term exposure to direct heat is required, since prolonged contact with heat sources can deform plastic.
