Carter-Hoffmann (Middleby) BR1000 EnduraHeat Banquet Carts

Carter-Hoffmann EnduraHeat™ BR1000 Heat-Retention Banquet Cart

The EnduraHeat™ BR1000 lets you plate, load, unplug and go. A one-hour charge stores enough heat to keep food safely above 140 °F (60 °C) for up to two hours—eliminating the cost, mess and fire risk of canned fuel. Built on Carter-Hoffmann’s all-welded stainless-steel platform, this cart is engineered to roll smoothly, hold temp consistently and survive years of demanding banquet service.
