Product Description
Overview
The Carter-Hoffmann (Middleby) CD252 Unheated Dish Storage Cart is a purpose-built solution for busy foodservice operations and new restaurants that need dependable, high-capacity dish storage during service and service transitions. Designed to hold up to 252 plates (11" max diameter) in a single enclosed rotary compartment, this NSF certified cart keeps plates organized, protected, and easily accessible. For restaurant owners focused on a quick, code-compliant kitchen buildout, the CD252 is a practical investment that accelerates your path to opening day while delivering long-term reliability.
Key Features
- High Capacity Rotary Design: Stores 252 plates in a single rotary compartment to maximize space efficiency and reduce plate change time during service.
- NSF Certified: Meets rigorous sanitation standards for foodservice equipment, ensuring compliance during inspections and protecting your operation.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant base and dividers for years of heavy-duty use and simplified cleaning.
- Plate Dividers for 10"–11" Plates: Secure plate separators minimize chipping and breakage, protecting your investment and reducing replacement costs.
- Enclosed Cabinet: Keeps dishes protected from airborne contaminants in busy kitchens and catering staging areas.
- 5" Casters for Mobility: Smooth, heavy-duty casters let staff move full loads safely between dishroom, prep, and service stations.

- Professional Compatibility: Integrates easily with warewashing lines, staging areas, and service displays for streamlined workflow.
Built for Commercial Success
The CD252 is engineered for the realities of commercial kitchens: constant turnover, demanding sanitation requirements, and the need for equipment that simply keeps working. Its stainless steel structure and NSF certification minimize maintenance headaches and support consistent service quality. For a new restaurant, that reliability translates to predictable operations, lower long-term costs, and fewer surprises during health inspections—delivering a clear return on investment that matters when margins are tight.
