Southbend “Ultimate” 60" Gas Restaurant Range

48" Left-Hand Griddle • (2) Non-Clog Open Burners w/ Wavy Grates • Convection Oven + Cabinet Base

Built for high-volume kitchens that refuse to compromise, the Southbend Ultimate Range combines a massive 48 inch griddle with two powerful open burners and a bakery-quality convection oven—all packed into a space-saving 60 inch footprint. Heavy-gauge stainless construction, 166,000 BTU of total firepower, and industry-leading 1-year parts & labor coverage make this the last range you’ll need for years to come.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Produce more, faster — 166,000 BTU total output delivers rapid heat-up and recovery, even during peak rushes.
  • Versatile cooking surface — Thick 48" polished-steel griddle handles breakfast to burgers, while two 27 K BTU non-clog burners tackle sautés and sauces.
  • Convection consistency — 32 K BTU fan-assisted oven with battery-spark ignition bakes evenly on all three included racks.
  • Wavy cast-iron grates — Southbend’s patented bowl design cradles cookware for maximum flame contact and efficiency.
  • Rock-solid construction — Stainless steel front, sides, shelf and 6" adjustable legs withstand daily wear in the toughest commercial environments.
  • Front-mounted gas shut-off — Instantly kill gas to the entire range for quick change-outs or emergency service.
