DESCRIPTION

A-XL Series - Radiant Heated Banquet Transport & Serve Cabinets
Built for Larger Plates, Reliable Heating, and Seamless Banquet Service

1. Designed for Larger Plate Sizes
The A-XL Series is built to accommodate larger 12.375" plates, providing banquet and catering professionals with greater flexibility for upscale meal presentations. Whether serving plated entrees at a luxury hotel, high-end banquet hall, or large-scale catered event, these cabinets ensure that oversized plates remain at the perfect serving temperature until they reach guests. With more room for plating, the A-XL Series supports elegant food presentation without sacrificing holding capacity.

2. Durable Construction for Secure Transport
Designed to handle the rigors of high-volume banquet service, the A-XL Series features a stainless steel tubular base frame that absorbs vibrations and shocks, protecting meals during transport. Fully insulated on all sides, these cabinets minimize heat loss, ensuring plated meals stay hot, whether in a busy banquet kitchen or being moved to an off-site venue. Reinforced door hinges and heavy-duty construction provide lasting durability, making these units a trusted solution for demanding catering operations.

3. Radiant Heat System for Gentle, Even Warming
FWE's radiant heat system ensures gentle, uniform warming by surrounding food with consistent heat, rather than using direct heating elements that can cause drying or uneven temperatures. This balanced heating approach keeps food textures and flavors intact, allowing meals to be held for extended periods without compromising quality. The A-XL Series is engineered to maintain optimal food temperature and presentation, making it ideal for banquet service where timing and food consistency are critical.

4. User-Friendly Eye-Level Controls for Precision Heating
The A-XL Series features an eye-level, recessed control panel, allowing for easy access and durability in busy environments. Unlike traditional dial-based systems, FWE's full-range thermostat (90°F - 190°F) provides precise temperature control, ensuring food stays at the ideal serving temperature. A built-in thermometer offers continuous temperature monitoring, even when unplugged, giving catering professionals peace of mind during transport and service.

5. Heavy-Duty "No Sag" Shelves for Maximum Storage and Stability
Each cabinet is equipped with reinforced, removable "no sag" shelves, designed to support stacked plated meals without bowing or warping under heavy loads. The stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability, while the removable design allows for quick and thorough cleaning between events. These shelves provide stable storage for fully plated meals, ensuring that even the largest meal setups remain organized and accessible.

6. Effortless Maneuverability for Catering and Banquet Service
The A-XL Series is built for seamless transport, featuring heavy-duty push/pull handles, maintenance-free casters, and a full-perimeter bumper for maximum protection. Whether moving across banquet halls, resort kitchens, or outdoor catering venues, these units glide smoothly and effortlessly, reducing strain on staff and preventing damage to surrounding areas. The full-perimeter bumper ensures that the unit stays protected from accidental impacts, keeping it in top condition for repeated use in high-demand service environments.

7. Tri-Directional Cord Pocket for Convenient Placement
To enhance flexibility in placement and operation, the A-XL Series features a tri-directional AC cord pocket, allowing the power cord to be positioned in multiple directions. This design prevents unnecessary strain on the cord, increasing its lifespan while ensuring safe and efficient operation in tight kitchen layouts or event spaces.

The A-XL Series brings the same durability, efficiency, and transport-ready design as the standard A Series, with the added benefit of accommodating larger 12.375" plates for banquet professionals who require expanded meal presentation capabilities. Whether used for high-end banquets, fine dining service, or catering operations, these cabinets provide consistent, reliable heated holding for large-scale meal preparation and service.

A-60-XL - Radiant Heated Banquet Transport & Serve Cabinet (60 Plate Capacity, XL Model)
The A-60-XL is designed to accommodate larger 12.375" plates, providing reliable heated holding for up to 60 pre-plated meals. Featuring FWE's radiant heat system, it ensures gentle, even heat distribution, keeping meals hot and fresh without drying out. The A-60-XL's durable stainless steel construction and compact footprint make it an excellent choice for banquet halls, catering operations, and event venues where efficiency and meal presentation matter.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
CUL - C-UL mark indicates a product meets the CSA testing standards for Canada.
C-UL-US mark indicates a product meets the UL and CSA testing standards for both the United States and Canada.
UL EPH - UL EPH recognizes products certified to meet environmental and public health standards. The UL EPH logo shows the word "Classified" above the UL mark, which indicates that the product complies with ANSI/NSF standards, in addition to other applicable codes.
NSF - NSF International (formerly known as the National Sanitation Foundation) is an independent, non-profit organization that certifies food service equipment and ensures it is designed and constructed in a way that promotes food safety. FWE products that meet these standards bear the NSF mark.
You may also see a designation that a product meets NSF/ANSI, which adds rules from the American National Standards Institute to the testing. ANSI works closely with NSF to develop its food safety standards and complete testing to those.
UL - The UL mark, which now serves customers in more than 100 countries, has become the authority on product safety. Its engineers test for things like soundness of design, safety of electrical components, and structural integrity of products for which UL listing is sought.
If you think of NSF International classification as protection for your customers, then the mark of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) indicates safety for those who work in your commercial kitchen. The Illinois-based testing agency assures that the equipment that gets its stamp operates safely. There is also a sanitation classification that offers similar assurances about food safety as the NSF mark. Products are indicated as "Classified UL-EPH."
CE - The CE mark is mandatory for products sold in the European Economic Area. It indicates the product conforms with certain manufacturing and design safety requirements. CE is similar to UL except it's more of a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets the relevant rules, rather than being the mark of independent testing.
UKCA - The UKCA mark is mandatory for products sold in the European Economic Area. It indicates the product conforms with certain manufacturing and design safety requirements. UKCA certified equipment has undergone testing to ensure safety, health, and environmental standards.
Bumpers
Full Bumper - Heavy duty full perimeter bumper extends beyond doors and handles for added protection. The bumper is mounted to the base frame for added durability - the bumper is not used as the base frame. In this way, the bumper absorbs all the shock in transport, protecting the integrity of the construction.
Caster
EZ Roll Heavy Duty Poly Caster - The EZ Roll Casters are standard on FWE cabinets and provide moderate floor protection with a high weight capacity.
EZ roll casters are shock absorbing and roll easier under heavy loads.

Available in 5", 6" and 8" diameters.
Mobile
6" Casters - 6" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
Construction

Radiant Heat System - FWE's natural convection heat system allows a soft heat to radiate throughout the compartment. Heat rises naturally and circulates from bottom to top without blowers. Radiant heat is best suited for short term heated holding.
Hinging
Hinges on Right Side - Right hand door hinging
Slides and Shelves
Fixed Shelves - Shelves are positioned into railings welded to body . Heavy-duty "no sag" shelves are removable to facilitate thorough cleaning

OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

Caster
All Swivel Casters - All swivel casters allow for greater maneuverability. Great for tight turns or severe corners (such as on and off trucks or narrow hallways).
A drawback to the all swivel configuration is that it is harder to control the direction of the equipment when rolled in a straight line.

Must be used with 6" casters.
Larger & Upgraded Casters - Larger Casters
