With capacities ranging from 40 meals to 200, Carter-Hoffmann Banquet Carters are perfect for any operation, large or small
Why use BB Series Banquet Carts?
Take your service anywhere with Carter-Hoffmann Banquet Carters - the first specifically designed for electrical or canned fuel operation. When using canned fuel, EquaHeat's unique heating system uses the natural physics of heat rising by directing the heat up through precision-engineered baffles for even heat distribution throughout the cabinet. The baffle system eliminates the hot and cold spots that are typical when using canned fuel in traditional banquet carts. Or, turn on the electric heater and the same baffles direct heat down and evenly to each plate shelf. Either way, EquaHeat carts provide equal performance and equal plate capacity.
