Abstract

An improved mobile truck for supporting a plurality of removable pans or trays includes a base having a plurality of rollable casters secured thereto. A pair of laterally spaced apart, generally U-shaped frame sections are secured to and extend upwardly from the sides of the base portion. Removable racks are mounted on each of the U-shaped side frame sections and include a first plurality of U-shaped rods that extend inwardly from the frame sections as well as in the direction between the legs of the U-shaped frame sections in order to support the pans or trays. A second plurality of U-shaped rods, similar in construction and orientation to the first plurality of U-shaped rods also extend inwardly from the frame sections and in the direction between the legs of the U-shaped frame sections for minimizing lateral movement of the pans or trays. Each rack is also provided with pairs of vertically oriented rods at each end which pairs of rods are arranged to snap into engagement with the vertical legs of the U-shaped frame sections in order to secure the racks thereto. Alternatively, vertically oriented rods may be utilized instead of the second plurality of the U-shaped rods as the retaining members for minimizing lateral movement of the pans or trays. Still other vertical rods are secured to the rack for support thereof, and in order to separate the front and rear sections thereof so that the truck may be loaded and unloaded from either the front or the rear.
