  • Stainless steel construction — durable, hygienic, and easy to clean to meet rigorous health-code expectations.
  • Mobility with brakes — 3" swivel casters (two with brakes) for easy positioning during kitchen buildout and secure placement in service.
  • Compact commercial power — 120V/60/1-ph, 4.4 amps, NEMA 5-15P for standard kitchen circuits and simple installation.
  • Certifications and origin — NSF, cULus, CE listed and Made in USA for peace of mind and compliance.
