DESCRIPTION

RBQ Series - Satellite Transport Refrigerators
FWE's RBQ Series is purpose-built for satellite transport operations in institutional, hospital, and hotel settings. Designed for mobility, performance, and durability, these mobile refrigerators ensure cold food remains at safe temperatures from preparation to service-across buildings, between floors, or wherever food needs to go.

Key Features:

Designed for Satellite Transport - Built specifically for institutional and hospitality use, RBQ units support safe cold food delivery in healthcare facilities, hotels, and banquet operations.
Reliable Cold-Temp Holding - Engineered to hold food safely below 41°F (5°C), each unit maintains consistent internal temperatures throughout transit, service, and staging.
Extended Runtime - Cold-temp system provides a dependable 8-hour runtime when pre-chilled, ideal for mobile operations without power access. Reset feature allows for quick recovery.
High Capacity and Versatility - Tray slides accommodate a wide range of pan and tray sizes including 18" x 26" sheet trays, 12" x 20" pans, and more. Choose from multiple capacities to fit service volume needs.
Durable, Easy-to-Clean Design - Fully welded stainless steel construction and heavy-duty casters ensure long-term reliability and maneuverability, while cleanable interiors and removable slides simplify sanitation.

RBQ-96 - Mobile Refrigerator for 96 Plated Meals / 120 Trays
Designed for institutional satellite transport applications, the RBQ-96 delivers reliable cold food holding and high-capacity storage during transit. This unit is built to accommodate up to 96 plated and covered meals or up to 120 institutional 10" x 14" meal trays. Universal tray slides provide flexibility for a variety of foodservice formats, while stainless steel construction and heavy-duty casters ensure long-lasting durability and smooth mobility.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
Energy Star - Most consumers have come to recognize the mark of ENERGY STAR, an agency supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy, on residential products.
The organization also offers its certification to commercial pieces, still indicating the potential for energy savings below the baseline for that type of equipment. Participation in ENERGY STAR is voluntary for manufacturers and products submitted for certification must go through testing before the seal is given.

Products carrying the Energy Star service mark generally use 20-30% less energy than required by federal standards.
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.
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 Energy Verified
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
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.
Mobile
6" Casters - 6" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
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
Cold Temp Controls - Intuitive controls are easy to use and highly accurate, and oversized, high demand components assure rapid pull down times and recoveries. Set range 33F - 40F (1C - 4.4C)
Electronic Controls - Electronic controls featuring easy to read digital display of cabinet temperature (with recall capacity of temperature set point and actual cabinet temperature), equipped with a programmable low temperature alarm, master ON/OFF switch with power indicator light.
Door Count
2 Doors
Door Hinge
Edgemount Hinges - Heavy-duty edge mount die cast hinges
Door Latch
Paddle Door Latch - Recessed paddle style door latch
Doors
Side by Side Doors - Flush mounted, stainless steel insulated french style doors help maintain cabinet temperature during peak serving times
