DESCRIPTION

ETC-1826-AL Series - Aluminum Non-Insulated Transport Cabinets
Lightweight, Durable, and Built for Efficient Tray Transport

1. Lightweight Yet Heavy-Duty Construction
The ETC-1826-AL Series is designed for efficient, high-capacity tray transport, featuring all-welded heavy-duty aluminum construction. Made from 6063 extruded aluminum alloy, these units provide long-lasting durability while remaining lightweight for easy handling and maneuverability.

2. Versatile Tray Capacity for Multiple Applications
The fixed tray rack accommodates 18" x 26", 14" x 18", and 13" x 18" trays with 1.5" spacing for maximum capacity and organization. This makes the ETC-1826-AL Series ideal for meal delivery, food storage, and kitchen prep transport.

3. Gravity Latch Door with 270° Swing for Easy Access
Each unit features a stainless steel, flush-mounted door with a 270° swing, allowing for unobstructed loading and unloading. The gravity latch system ensures secure closure while maintaining easy access when needed.

4. Smooth and Reliable Mobility
Designed for effortless transport, the ETC-1826-AL Series includes 5" all-swivel polyurethane casters, allowing for seamless movement, even when fully loaded. The fully welded base frame enhances stability and absorbs movement and vibration during transport.

5. Hygienic and Easy-to-Clean Design
The fully welded seamless construction provides a smooth, sanitary surface, making cleaning quick and efficient. This ensures compliance with strict food safety standards while reducing maintenance time.

6. Convenient Menu Card Holder for Organization
A bolted menu card clip is positioned at eye level on the door, allowing for quick identification of contents during transport and storage.

The ETC-1826-AL Series is a practical, lightweight, and durable transport solution, making it ideal for catering, institutional foodservice, and high-volume kitchen operations that require efficient tray handling without the need for insulation.

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
No Bumper - No bumper
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.
