The Carter-Hoffmann ST1820 Satellite Transport Cart is a heavy-duty, mobile heated cabinet engineered for busy commercial kitchens and new restaurant openings. Built with an all-stainless-steel exterior, full-height insulated construction, and a top-mounted heater assembly, the ST1820 is optimized to maintain food temperature and quality during transport and temporary holding. For restaurant owners launching a new concept, this cart speeds up your kitchen buildout by providing a turnkey holding solution that integrates easily into staging, satellite kitchens, catering operations, and back-of-house workflows.

Key Features
