The Carter-Hoffmann PHB480HE 12-tray refrigerated meal cart is a premium choice for commercial kitchens and restaurants seeking reliable, high-capacity meal storage. Designed for 120V operation, this cart features a self-contained, bottom-mounted refrigeration system with a thermal expansion valve, ensuring precise temperature control between 33-40°F. This is crucial for maintaining food safety and extending shelf life, making it ideal for buffet lines, catering, or large-scale food service operations. The use of CFC-free R134a refrigerant aligns with modern environmental standards, while the combination of foam and high-density fiberglass insulation minimizes energy consumption and reduces compressor strain. The recessed, double-panel door with fiberglass insulation prevents snagging on clothing or furniture, and the flush-mounted heavy-duty latch adds to its durability. For busy kitchens, the mobile design with offset casters and aluminum push handles ensures smooth maneuverability, even when fully loaded.
