Key Features

• High-capacity holding: Universal slides hold (24) 12" x 20" pans or (12) 18" x 26" sheet pans with 3-1/2" spacing, adjustable on 1-3/4" increments for flexible load-outs.
• Top-mounted forced-air heat system: Ensures even heat distribution to preserve food quality and reduce hot/cold spots during prolonged holding.
• Stainless steel construction: Durable, easy-to-clean exterior and interior surfaces that withstand heavy daily use in professional kitchens.
• Mobile and service-ready: Flush drawer, wrap-around bumper, and 6" swivel casters make it easy to move the cabinet through tight kitchen corridors and service lines.
• Insulated for energy efficiency: Thick insulation reduces heat loss, stabilizes holding temperature, and cuts energy use compared with uninsulated transport carts.
• Adjustable slide centers: Customizable spacing lets you configure the interior for hotel pans, sheet pans, or mixed loads—ideal for varied menu formats during a restaurant opening.
• Commercial certifications: Built to industry safety standards with UL EPH listing for electrical products in foodservice environments.
