At Solent Plastics, we understand the demands of the catering industry. This is why we’re proud to introduce one of our most versatile and reliable food transport solutions: the 81-litre thermo insulated Euro container. Designed with both practicality and performance in mind, it’s a workhorse for anyone in the food service industry.
A purpose-built solution for professionals who need to transport food safely, hygienically and at a consistent temperature, our insulated box maintains internal temperatures, hot or cold, offering incredible insulation for more than four hours. If you’ve ever faced the challenges of transporting freshly cooked meals to a remote event, or keeping pre-prepped ingredients chilled during an outdoor festival, you know how important this kind of reliability is.
Key features that set it apart
This catering container has been engineered with the professional in mind. It fits standard 600mm x 400mm Euro trays, making it perfect for those already using Euro containers as part of their daily operations. With internal dimensions of 625mm x 425mm x 305mm, a generous capacity of 81 litres ensures enough room to accommodate multiple trays or bulk ingredients. Its external dimensions of 697mm x 497mm x 379mm allow for stacking - a game changer in tight storage spaces.
Despite its size, the container is incredibly lightweight at just 1.9kg. Made from Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), a robust yet eco-friendly material that’s CFC-free and fully recyclable, it’s tough enough to be break-resistant up to 100kg. You can even stand on it if necessary, making it ideal for the hustle and bustle of kitchen and event environments.
The container is also commercial dishwasher-proof, making it easy to maintain hygiene standards, and it complies fully with EC Regulation 1935/2004, ensuring food contact safety. Ergonomic handgrips make lifting and carrying simple, even when full, and a tightly closing lid protects contents from dirt and external contaminants.
Temperature performance is particularly impressive: for example, food stored at 88°C will only drop to 82.2°C after four hours - ideal for transporting hot meals during extended service periods. In addition, it insulates effectively between -40°C and 120°C, so whether you’re delivering piping hot curries or delicate chilled desserts, our food thermos container has you covered.
Perfect for every catering scenario
From pop-up food stalls and weekend market events to corporate catering and food delivery services, the 81-litre Thermo box adapts to a wide variety of settings. If you’re running a mobile kitchen, managing a street food stand, or operating a high-volume kitchen, these food transporters streamline your logistics and help ensure consistent quality.
Event catering companies love the fact that these boxes are stackable, saving valuable space during setup and breakdown. For outside catering, their lightweight but rugged design makes them easy to transport, even across fields at festival grounds. At large-scale catering events, they provide an ideal intermediate storage point between prep and service areas.
The versatility of this box also extends to its ability to work seamlessly with fridges and freezers, making it a perfect food insulated box for chilled storage before transportation. Whether you’re moving cooked dishes or raw ingredients, everything stays safe, secure and at the correct temperature.
A sound investment for your business
A dependable solution that supports your business’s reputation, ensures food safety compliance and ultimately helps you deliver consistent quality to customers every time, at just £41.95 excluding VAT (or £50.34 including VAT), our insulated container is outstanding value for money: when you consider the cost of spoiled food, inconsistent service, or customer complaints due to quality issues, investing in reliable catering containers is surely a no-brainer.
