Keep finished foods hot, fresh and table-ready for hours with the Carter-Hoffmann hotLOGIX HL4-18. This insulated heater-proofer combines gentle forced-air heat with controllable humidity, giving you the flexibility to hold fried chicken, pasta, veggies, burgers—or proof dough—all in one dependable cabinet.

Key advantages

  • Dual-mode system: switch between humidified holding and dough proofing at the turn of a dial.
  • Powerful bottom-mount blower heater pre-heats to 169 °F (71 °C) in ≈30 minutes; max temperature 190 °F (88 °C).
  • Active humidity reservoir (manual fill) maintains up to 90 % relative humidity without soggy results.
  • Single-pane tempered glass door for quick visual checks—less door opens, better temperature recovery.
  • Universal fixed wire slides on 3" centers accept:
    • 36 × 12" × 20" × 2.5" steam-table pans
    • 18 × 18" × 26" sheet pans
    • Full or half-size GN (2/1, 1/2) pans
  • Double-wall, 0.063" aluminum cabinet with high-density insulation—lightweight yet rugged.
  • Four 5" all-swivel casters (two with brakes) for effortless mobility in tight kitchens.
  • Recessed mechanical dial controls with digital thermometer—easy to set, easy to read.
  • ETL & ETL-Sanitation listed and backed by a 1-year parts & labor warranty.

Built for busy operations

  • Chrome-plated edge-mount hinges & latch with magnetic catch stand up to constant use.
  • Santoprene door gasket seals tight yet wipes clean in seconds.
  • Removable heater module slides out for sink-side cleaning—no tools required.
  • Lightweight frame (≤ 218 lb shipping weight) reduces strain on floors and staff.
