Square mobile cart with front-offset inset top
Free CAD block from the Commercial kitchen and buffets library (96 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Square mobile cart with front-offset inset top, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 2' 6" wide, 2' 8" deep and 3' 0" high (77 cm × 81 cm × 93 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
A nearly square service cart with an inset top offset to the front, for restaurant pass areas, hotel room-service pantries and conference catering. The offset top shows which way the cart is pushed; place it in ¼ in = 1 ft (1:50) kitchen layouts as a mobile work surface beside the hot line and in dining-room plans as a gueridon.
Clearances to leave
At 30 by 31 in (77 by 80 cm) it is almost square, so it needs a 60 in (150 cm) circle to turn in place and 40 in (100 cm) of aisle to pass along a counter. Park it with 4 in (10 cm) between carts and keep it off the 24 in (60 cm) landing countertop beside a range.
Pairs with
Use it with Square mobile cart with rear-offset inset top so the pair reads as a mirrored set, and park both beside Counter with three rear compartments and long well. Stainless tops with a black bumper strip suit a front-of-house gueridon.
