SUMMARY OF PRACTICAL TRAINING IN JEN HOTEL PART 2
Anatomy of a Housekeeper's Trolley
by Pravin Raj
Housekeeping trolley also called as a room attendants trolley, or chamber maid’s trolley, this is perhaps the most significance piece equipment in the housekeeping department. it is like a giant tool box, stocked with everything necessary to service a guest room effectively. Most such carts available now are made of metal, but sometimes wooden carts may be in use.
The cart should be spacious enough to carry all the supplies needed for a GRA to complete half a day’s room assignments. Since the cart is large and may be heavily loaded, it must be easily movable as well. the ideal cart would have fixed wheels at one end and castor wheels at the other. The cart should be well organized so that the Guest Room Attendants do not have to waste time in searching for supplies or make frequent trips back to the supply room. Also, if the cart is not stacked neatly, it will look very unsightly.

They are more useful than hand caddies when a large amount of supplies and items are to be carted or replaced. They are ideal for the efficient removal and carriage of smaller pieces of cleaning equipment, cleaning agents, linen and rubbish. They eliminate the time wasted in assembling equipment at the work location or moving them from one place to another.
