Core Key Features
Advanced Insulation & Temperature Control
Equipped with a mechanical temperature control panel, the cart allows precise adjustment to maintain food at ideal temperatures (40–60°C). Paired with high-efficiency heating fans, it ensures uniform heat distribution, preventing hot spots and keeping every dish flavorful.
Durable & Hygienic Construction
Featuring stainless steel shelves (with optional GN tray compatibility), the cart resists corrosion, stains, and bacterial growth—meeting strict food safety standards. Removable door strips simplify deep cleaning, while the sealed design locks in heat and prevents contamination.
User-Friendly Mobility & Security
The silent swivel casters with brakes enable smooth movement across dining halls, kitchens, or event venues without noise disruption. Dual lock options (magnetic lock and long latch) keep doors securely closed during transport, avoiding spills or temperature loss.
Practical Functionality
A just-right humidification water tank prevents food from drying out, preserving moisture and texture. The anti-slip handle ensures a firm grip for easy maneuvering, even when the cart is fully loaded with banquet-sized portions.
Low-Maintenance Design
All detachable parts (shelves, door strips, water tank) are easy to disassemble and clean, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent hygiene. The robust stainless steel body withstands heavy daily use in commercial settings.
