CARF – Cold Food Units

(Refrigerated Frost Top)

The frost cart provides the most attractive way of displaying your pre-plated cold foods. The unit frosts over quickly, provided a bed of snow—the perfect setting for salads and desserts. The unit is fully self-contained and can be located anywhere in your serving line—just plug it in and turn it on.

The attractive streamlined design, plus the variety of laminates, give you a wide range of choices to complement any decor. The unmatched feature of the CA-Cart line is the self-locking device which eliminates loose fasteners or molding strips to lock units together. Simply push the units together; the carts will automatically lock and the top will be flush and level, regardless of the floor’s condition. It’s the right cart for your serving line needs.
