Carter-Hoffmann (Middleby) BR96 EnduraHeat Banquet Carts

EnduraHeat™ BR96 Heat-Retention Banquet Cart

Serve large banquets anywhere—without cords, canned fuel or cold plates. The Carter-Hoffmann EnduraHeat™ BR96 pre-heats in just 60 minutes, then keeps 96 fully-plated meals at safe serving temperature for up to 2 hours unplugged. Built on decades of transport know-how, this stainless-steel cart delivers rock-solid durability, smooth mobility and dramatic cost savings over disposable fuel.

Key benefits

• 2-hour unplugged hold – patented solid-to-solid phase-change system radiates gentle, even heat long after you pull the plug.
• Dual-mode operation – choose EnduraHeat® or full convection heat (up to 200 °F / 93 °C) at the flip of a 3-way toggle switch.
• 20-minute hot start – blower-assisted convection reaches 160 °F (71 °C) fast, so you’re ready when the plates are.
• No open flame – eliminate fire risk, fuel fumes and labor tied to chafing cans.
• Wheel-ahead caster pattern & 6" balloon casters cushion every bump; two casters lock for secure staging.
• All-welded 304 stainless, 2" fiberglass insulation and wrap-around bumper stand up to years of banquet service.

Perfect for

• Hotels & resorts
• Convention centers
• Catering & off-site events
• Healthcare meal delivery
