Southbend Ultimate 60" Gas Restaurant Range

6 Star/Sauté Burners • 24" Left-Side Griddle • Dual Convection Ovens • 310,000 BTU

Give your kitchen an all-in-one powerhouse. Southbend’s Ultimate Series range packs rapid-response open burners, a full-width griddle, and two high-performance convection ovens into a rugged 60" footprint—perfect for operators who refuse to compromise on capacity or consistency.

Key Advantages

  • Six 33,000 BTU cast-iron star/​sauté burners for fast, even heat distribution.
  • 24" smooth steel left-side griddle (48,000 BTU) handles everything from pancakes to seared proteins.
  • Two 32,000 BTU convection ovens with battery-spark ignition and ½ hp blower for uniform baking; three racks in each cavity.
  • Heavy-gauge stainless steel front, sides, 4" rail, and 22-½" flue riser with integrated utensil shelf.
  • Front-mounted manual gas shut-off plus factory-installed pressure regulator.
  • Standing pilots on open burners; battery spark ignition on ovens reduces electrical dependency.
  • Four removable cast-iron top grates accept stock pots up to 14"; full-width drip trays simplify cleanup.
  • 6" adjustable stainless steel legs level the unit on uneven floors.
  • cCSAus, CSA Flame, CSA Star & NSF certified for safety and sanitation.
