Product Description

Overview

The Southbend PL36 caster frame is a modular, stainless-steel stand designed specifically for tabletop ranges, fryers, and other heavy table-top cooking units. Measuring 36" wide by 28" high with adjustable fits for 24"–36" side-to-side widths and fitted with 6" casters, this unit provides a stable, mobile foundation during kitchen buildouts and beyond. For new restaurant owners, the PL36 matters because it reduces installation complexity, accelerates your timeline to opening day, and delivers the durable support needed for high-volume foodservice operations. Paired with Concept Services, you get expert sourcing, inspection, and professional installation to ensure a seamless restaurant opening.

Key Features

  • 36" W x 28" H modular frame — engineered to match common tabletop range footprints for easy integration into your kitchen design.
  • Adjustable width (24"–36") — flexible fit accommodates different equipment sizes, lowering the need for custom fabrication.
  • 6" heavy-duty casters — mobile and lockable for safe positioning, cleaning access, and quick reconfiguration during a busy launch phase.
  • Stainless steel construction — resists corrosion, stands up to frequent cleaning, and meets commercial kitchen sanitation demands.
  • Modular design — simplifies staging and installation; combines with other units to scale production lines or cooking stations.
  • Commercial-grade durability — built for continuous use in restaurants, catering kitchens, and institutional foodservice environments.
  • Low-maintenance — smooth surfaces and accessible caster mounts save time on cleaning and routine checks.
