Product Description

Overview

The Carter-Hoffmann CD260 unheated rotary dish storage cart is a purpose-built solution for restaurants, caterers, and institutional foodservice operators who need reliable, high-capacity plate storage during service. Designed to accommodate up to 252 plates (12" maximum diameter), this enclosed cart uses a rotary design and stainless steel construction to protect tableware, reduce breakage, and speed plate staging for rush periods. For entrepreneurs executing a new restaurant or kitchen buildout, the CD260 is an essential piece of commercial kitchen equipment that helps you maintain smooth service flow and professional results.

Built for Commercial Success

The CD260 is built to withstand the rigors of a busy commercial kitchen. Its stainless steel base and dividers provide long-term durability, while the rotary, enclosed form factor optimizes space and workflow.
