Carter-Hoffmann BB1864 Space-Saver Banquet Heated Cabinet | 64-Plate Capacity | Commercial Grade

Overview

The Carter-Hoffmann BB1864 Space-Saver Convertible Banquet Cart is a purpose-built heated cabinet that helps new restaurants move from construction to service quickly. Engineered for banquet, catering, and high-volume foodservice, this insulated, single-door heated cabinet stores and holds pre-plated or bulk food with even, thermostatic heat. For restaurateurs launching a new concept, the BB1864 provides a compact footprint, clear capacity (up to 64 covered plates or 16 18"x26" pans / 32 12"x20" pans), and stainless steel durability — all critical for a fast, reliable kitchen buildout. While the unit carries a UL EPH listing and cUL marking, ask Concept Services about NSF certified options and compliance guidance for your local health department.
