This offer ends in:
The VTC147WB is a heated cupboard with sliding stainless steel doors and integral upstand, sized 1400×700×850mm. It holds plates or plated meals at controlled temperature between 0°C and +85°C using 2000W single-phase power. Canteens, hotel banquet kitchens, and high-volume restaurant pass areas use it to maintain service readiness during peak periods.
Commercial Application
Hot cupboards bridge the gap between final plating and service. They prevent cold plates from cooling hot food and allow kitchen teams to batch-plate meals ahead of rush periods without compromising temperature. The sliding door format reduces clearance requirements in tight pass areas.
During service, staff load plated meals or stacked plates and retrieve them as orders fire. The 1400mm width accommodates multiple stacks or full-size gastronorm trays. Temperature control keeps china warm without drying out protein or wilting garnish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the VTC147WB cabinet construction?
A: Zodex specifies commercial-grade stainless steel suitable for food contact surfaces under CE and NSF guidelines. Exact alloy grade (304 or 430) is confirmed at time of order based on production batch. Both grades meet hygiene standards for heated cupboard applications.
Q: What is the load-bearing capacity of the reinforced top surface?
A: The working surface supports standard stacking of commercial china plates and full-size gastronorm containers filled with plated meals. Zodex rates the surface for distributed loads typical of banquet plating operations. Avoid point loads exceeding 50kg in concentrated areas.
Q: Are the cabinet legs adjustable and what is the height range?
A: Height adjusts from 830mm to 870mm via threaded leg assemblies. This range allows alignment with adjacent prep tables or pass counters. The 100mm upstand adds to total height, bringing maximum overall dimension to 970mm.
Q: Can the 100mm upstand be removed if not required?
A: The upstand is welded as an integral part of the cabinet structure and cannot be removed. Units without upstand require separate model specification at time of order.
Q: What electrical connection does the 2000W heating element require?
A: The VTC147WB operates on 230V single-phase supply, standard for UK commercial kitchens. A 13A fused connection or hardwired spur is recommended. Consult a qualified electrician for installation to comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations.
