- Allows access to all trays in truck while still nested in the docking station for easy diet changes and reviews of all trays. No interruption on heating/cooling process to compromise food safety.
- Docking Station can be raised or lowered by determination of the height of trucks being used.
- No need to close docking side doors, after undocking, which will reduce risk of burn injuries.
- Vertical air flow that utilizes a central duct system combined with high velocity fans to ensure proper and even heating and temperatures throughout the chamber of the food truck.
- Automatically adjusts for less than full tray load in food truck while keeping proper heated temperatures.
TRUCKS
- 304 stainless steel and aluminum with carbon fiber doors.
- Door must open, 270 degrees, on sides to allow meal changes without disconnecting retherm cycle.
- Must nest under docking station, not against it, so doors remain closed prior to, during and after retherm cycles for temperature retention.
- equally sized hot and cold sections which allows for trays to be reversible, stackable, and less wear and tear on hot side of trays.
- Recessed door handles.
- Individual thermal dividers allowing easy cleaning and/or replacement without tools.
- Trucks need to have CFC-free polyurethane foamed insulation to insure no voids or air pockets that can cause temperature fluctuations.
