Ask a Question About This Product
The KM012-4 is a charcoal-fired automatic chicken rotisserie designed for continuous commercial service in kebab shops, Turkish restaurants, and outdoor catering operations. The unit accommodates 40 whole chickens across 8 rotating skewers (4 per side) with automatic motor-driven rotation powered by a 230V/22W motor. Charcoal combustion provides radiant heat without gas or mains electric heating elements.
Commercial Application
Charcoal-based rotisseries suit operations where gas infrastructure is unavailable or where traditional flame-cooked flavour is a menu requirement. The dual-bank skewer arrangement allows staged loading—one side cooking while the other is prepared or unloaded. A 230V motor drives rotation while charcoal baskets provide the heat source.
During service, operators slice cooked chicken from rotating skewers while the opposite bank continues cooking. The 40-chicken capacity supports high-volume takeaway periods and outdoor events where charcoal cooking is operationally or culturally preferred. Motor power draw is minimal at 22W.

Q: What is the total chicken capacity and how is it distributed?
A: 40 whole chickens across 8 skewers. Each side holds 4 skewers supporting 20 chickens. This dual-bank arrangement allows operators to load and unload one side while the other continues cooking.
Q: How many charcoal baskets does the rotisserie use?
A: The unit uses dual charcoal baskets positioned beneath each rotating chicken bank. Baskets are removable for ash clearance and fuel replenishment during service. Charcoal consumption varies with ambient temperature and cooking intensity.
Q: Is the KM012-4 suitable for food truck or trailer installation?
A: Yes, provided the trailer floor is rated for 380 kg and adequate ventilation is installed for charcoal combustion gases. The 230V motor draw is 22W. Operators must comply with local mobile catering fire safety regulations for charcoal equipment.
Q: How are drip trays accessed for cleaning?
A: Stainless steel drip trays are positioned beneath each skewer bank and slide out for cleaning. Daily removal is required to clear chicken fat and charcoal ash. Trays must be cool before handling.
