Keep finished menu items hot, fresh and ready for service with the hotLOGIX HL2-18. Its bottom-mounted forced-air heater and manual-fill humidity reservoir turn a lightweight aluminum cabinet into a dependable holding or proofing workhorse—perfect for banquets, QSR lines, and commissary kitchens that need Carter-Hoffmann performance fast.

Why you’ll love it

  • Humidified holding and proofing – separate mechanical dials for heat & humidity, plus a digital thermometer for at-a-glance monitoring.
  • Rapid heat-up – reaches 169 °F (71 °C) in ≈30 min, with a 190 °F (88 °C) max cabinet temp.
  • Massive pan capacity – 36 × 2.5" steam-table pans or 18 × full-size sheet pans on 3" fixed wire slides.
  • Crystal-clear merchandising – single-pane tempered glass door framed in rugged extruded aluminum.
  • Built to move – 5" all-swivel rubber casters (two with brakes) & a durable .125" base frame handle daily re-positioning.
  • Bottom-mount slide-out heater – simplifies cleaning and service access without unloading the cabinet.
