Food cart with four compartments pushed by worker
Free CAD block from the Commercial kitchen and buffets library (96 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Food cart with four compartments pushed by worker, drawn in plan, front and side elevation. It measures 2' 6" wide, 5' 5" deep and 3' 2" high (75 cm × 1.66 m × 97 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Commercial kitchen and buffets library: 96 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Hospital unit kitchens, nursing homes and conference centers where meals go out in insulated carts. Four compartments show the hot and cold boxes; the kitchen worker pushing it makes it a movement block for corridor and elevator studies, with the 65 in (166 cm) depth covering cart and person. Use it on circulation plans and in the elevator-lobby layout.
Clearances to leave
The cart is 30 in (75 cm) wide, so a service corridor of 48 in (120 cm) lets one person pass it and 60 in (150 cm) lets two carts cross. Elevator cars need at least 65 in (166 cm) inside for cart and pusher; door openings of 36 in (90 cm) clear keep the bumpers off the frames.
Pairs with
Pair it with Food cart with four compartments and bumpers, the parked version, and show it loading from Curved-end serving counter with four round wells. One pushed cart per corridor is enough to prove the route.
