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-480-XL - Holds up to 48 Plates (12.375")
Designed for smaller-scale banquets or as a supplemental unit, the E-480-XL holds up to 48 pre-plated meals on 12.375" diameter plates. It features FWE's vented tunnel air flow system to maintain even heat across all shelves, ensuring consistent food temperatures without hot or cold spots. With both electric and canned fuel heating options, this unit offers flexibility for indoor service or remote catering events. Durable stainless steel construction, recessed push handles, and flush-mount doors that open 270° support smooth, secure, and efficient service.

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
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.
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.
Caster
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" Casters - 6" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
Mobile
Construction
Stainless Steel / Insulated - Constructed of stainless steel, with welded base frame for added strength and durability - fully insulated cabinet and door provide energy efficient heating and longer holding times

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.
Center Floor Lock - Undercarriage lock-down keeps mobile equipment securely in place by gently lifting the unit high enough so the casters do not touch the ground.
Must be used with 6" casters.
Larger & Upgraded Casters - Larger Casters
Door Latch
Key Locking Door Latch - Heavy duty door latch with key locking capabilities
Magnetic Door Latch - Heavy duty full grip magnetic door latch
Padlocking Transport Latch - Cabinet mounted latch keeps door secure during transport, increased security with padlocking capabilities
