Description

Southbend “Ultimate” 60" Gas Restaurant Range

48" Left-Side Griddle | 2 Open Burners | Convection Oven + Cabinet Base

Built for kitchens that demand relentless performance, the Southbend Ultimate Series marries heavy-duty construction with chef-focused versatility. This 60" configuration combines a full-size, 1" thick 48" griddle, two high-output non-clog burners, and a powerful convection oven—leaving a roomy cabinet base for sheet-pan storage. From breakfast rush to late-night sauté work, it’s the only range your line will ever need.
