Engineered for schools, healthcare facilities, commissaries, catering operations, and institutional foodservice environments, these cabinets combine a slim footprint, high-capacity storage, and FWE's top-mounted heating technology to maximize performance and efficiency.

Product Overview

Built specifically for transport applications, the PST Series utilizes FWE's Top Mount heating system to gently circulate heated air throughout the cabinet, eliminating hot and cold spots while keeping products at serving temperature. The slim cabinet profile allows operators to navigate tight spaces without sacrificing storage capacity, making it ideal for demanding foodservice environments.

Slim Space-Saving Design - Narrow cabinet profile allows easy movement through tight hallways, kitchens, and service areas.
Protected Heating Components - Top-mounted heating elements are shielded from spills and keep the cabinet floor open for simplified cleaning.
User-Friendly Electronic Controls - Digital controls provide easy temperature monitoring, temperature recall, and simple adjustments.
Programmable Low Temperature Alarm - Built-in alarm helps maintain food safety and operational confidence.
Open Bottom Cabinet Design - Simplifies cleaning and reduces maintenance requirements.

Why FWE?

For decades, FWE has provided industry-leading food holding and transport solutions built for reliability and performance. The PST Series continues that tradition by combining durable transport-ready construction, intelligent top-mounted heating technology, and high-capacity pan storage to help operators maintain food quality, streamline operations, and improve service efficiency.

PST-20 - Slim Profile Cabinet with 20-Tray Capacity
The PST-20 offers expanded storage for up to twenty 1/1 GN pans or 12" x 20" pans, all within a slim-profile footprint designed to maximize space efficiency. This model is equipped with FWE's top-mounted Humi-Temp heat system, which passively adds moisture and circulates heated air evenly throughout the storage cavity to maintain food's ideal temperature and texture. Durable, reliable, and easy to clean, the PST-20 is a dependable solution for operations requiring higher capacity without sacrificing valuable floor space.

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.
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.
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.
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
Mobile
5" Casters - 5" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
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.
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
Control Panel
