Product Description

Overview

The Carter-Hoffmann hotLOGIX HL8-12 heated holding cabinet is a commercial-grade solution engineered to help new restaurants and foodservice operations move from kitchen buildout to revenue faster. This two-compartment, full-height, insulated cabinet is constructed with an all-stainless steel exterior and a top-mounted forced-air heating system that maintains consistent temperatures across multiple pans. Designed specifically for high-volume staging and transport within the kitchen, the HL8-12 supports either (12) 18" x 26" sheet pans or (24) 12" x 20" hotel pans, giving you flexibility in menu planning and plate-up workflows. For restaurateurs opening a new concept, the HL8-12 delivers the dependable performance you need to launch on schedule.

Built for Commercial Success

When you open a new restaurant, you need equipment that performs from day one and still performs years later.
