The ETC-1520 Series continues that tradition by providing a solution designed to help operators improve food quality, streamline operations, and achieve consistent results day after day.

FWE's heavy-duty patient tray cabinets are fully enclosed and designed for fast tray access. Built for mobility, FWE's unibody construction keeps the cabinet balanced and stable during transport. One piece rack and upright assembly make it easy and sturdy to transport various size trays.

Serve hot and cold foods together using pellet systems, insulated, or disposable containers. Complete meals can be prepared ahead of time, then easily transported to serving location. Our internal frame construction is designed to endure the most rigorous operations and environments, eliminating cabinet torquing during transport, assuring FWE cabinets last longer than any other

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
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.
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
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.
