Black Top Loading Insulated Food Pan Carrier - 4" Deep Full-Size Pan Max Capacity

Perfect for catering and take-out operations, this CaterGator black top loading 4" deep insulated food pan carrier delivers the durability you need and the stability your food needs to arrive intact and at the proper temperature. It features a top loading design for ease of loading, allowing you to simply place the pan directly down into the carrier and lift it up and out upon delivery. This style eliminates the need for surrounding space, as end loading carriers require clearance for the side door to open.

Made of durable polyethylene, the carrier easily withstands regular use, transport, and exposure to high heat. Since it's insulated with polyurethane foam insulation, it helps maintain the proper temperature prior to delivery, keeping hot food hot or cold food cold for up to 7 hours. In order to increase the temperature retention time beyond the standard 7 hours, the carrier can be pre-chilled or pre-heated. Simply pre-chill the unit with its lid open in a walk-in refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes prior to use. To preheat, load a hotel pan of hot water into the carrier, and close the lid for about 20 minutes. In transit, the lid's four latches tightly clasp shut to close and lock the lid, preventing it from opening en route to the customer and compromising the temperature.

When carrying the unit by hand, a recessed groove around the carrier allows the user to grab it from any angle. Then when the carrier is set down, the base nests in the lid when it's flipped upside down; grooves in the lid securely hold the base in place. Not only does this keep the lid safe and out of the way, it simplifies unloading and service. After use, the unit stacks with other sizes, such as 6" and 8" deep CaterGator top loaders and other similar carriers from other brands.

Great for a wide variety of menu items, this carrier fits 1/3, 1/2, and full size food pans up to 4" deep (sold separately), and it holds one tier of pans at a time. It will also accept most types of pans, from foil and plastic to stainless steel. Sleek and contemporary with a quality design that provides up to 7 hours of holding, this insulated food pan carrier is sure to get the food to the customer with ease!
