DESCRIPTION

E-XL Series - Heated Banquet Transport & Serve Cabinets
FWE's E-XL Series provides a high-capacity, durable solution for transporting and serving larger pre-plated meals. Specifically engineered to accommodate 12.375" plates, these cabinets are ideal for banquet halls, catering operations, and institutional foodservice. Featuring dual heating capability, rugged construction, and smooth mobility, the E-XL Series delivers consistent performance in any high-volume setting.

Key Features:

Optimized for Larger Plates - Designed to hold pre-plated meals on 12.375" plates, with or without plate covers. Accommodates higher volumes per cabinet, reducing the number of units needed for large-scale meal service.
Dual Heat System - Supports electric or canned fuel heating to suit both on-site and off-site service needs, maintaining food temperature and flexibility across varying service environments.
Vented Tunnel Air Flow - FWE's advanced tunnel air flow system provides even heat distribution throughout the cabinet, eliminating hot and cold spots and ensuring uniform food quality across all plates.
Durable, Fully Welded Construction - All-stainless steel build, inside and out, offers superior durability and corrosion resistance. Heavy-duty removable "no sag" shelves allow for fast reconfiguration and easy cleaning.
Built for Secure Transport - Tubular welded base frame, full-perimeter bumper, and heavy-duty Master Casters deliver exceptional mobility and stability during transport. Recessed push handles allow safe, controlled movement in tight spaces.
Flush-Mount Doors with Full Access - Doors open a full 270° and lie flush against the sides, maximizing aisle clearance and improving workflow during meal service.
Multiple Model Capacities - Available in several configurations to accommodate different quantities of plated meals, ensuring the right fit for everything from small-scale events to large banquets.
Flexible Compared to Standard E Series - While standard E Series models accommodate a variety of plate and cover sizes, the E-XL Series focuses on increased capacity for larger plates, making it ideal for operations requiring greater efficiency per unit.

E-1500-XL - Holds up to 150 Plates (12.375")
The E-1500-XL offers maximum capacity within the E-XL Series, accommodating up to 150 pre-plated meals on large 12.375" plates. This high-volume cabinet is ideal for large-scale banquet and institutional meal service, delivering even heat distribution through FWE's vented tunnel air flow system. Operators can maintain optimal serving temperatures with the flexibility of either electric heat or canned fuel. Designed for tough environments, the E-1500-XL includes a fully welded stainless steel body, recessed push handles, a wraparound bumper, heavy-duty casters, and flush-mount doors that swing open 270° for smooth access during busy operations.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
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."
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.
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.
Bumpers
Super Duty Bumper - Super duty full perimeter bumper is wider and thicker than our standard perimeter bumper. This is a good option for frequent transport or correctional environments.
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
6" Casters - 6" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
Mobile
Master Caster - The Master caster is the best all-around caster for FWE products. Having the highest load bearing weight the Master Caster can handle any piece of FWE product. With easy maneuverability and silent rolling, the Master Caster will not stop when there is a small obstruction or uneven terrain. The Master Caster is also resistant to corrosion from chemicals, water, and steam.
6 Caster Configuration - 6 caster configuration increases the cabinets maneuverability, ideal for larger cabinets
