  • Top-Tier Performance: The independent controls for the lamps offer fantastic flexibility during varied service periods.
  • Forward Planning Needed: Remember, it must be ordered with the cupboard; it can’t be retrofitted later.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Fisherman's Rest' in Whitby were finding their Sunday lunch service was becoming a bottleneck. Plated meals were losing heat while waiting for the final elements, leading to frantic plating and  inconsistent quality.

"We were constantly battling to keep everything hot. The two-tier heated overshelves Lincat provided has completely organised our pass. We can now plate with confidence, knowing every dish is held at the perfect temperature. It's smoothed out the entire service."

David Chen – Head Chef

The change allowed them to increase their output of plated meals by 25% during their busiest three-hour window.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Professionally Fitted: There's no DIY needed here; this unit is securely fitted to your Lincat hot cupboard at the factory before it's shipped.
  • Ready to Use: Your overshelves arrive fully assembled and  attached, meaning you can get going straight away.
  • Positioning Your Unit: Ensure the main hot cupboard is placed on a firm, level surface with good airflow around it.
  • Power Up: Simply connect the parent hot cupboard to a suitable electrical supply as per its own specifications.

Keeping It Going

  • Daily Wipe-Down: Once cool, wipe all stainless steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild, food-safe detergent.
  • Bulb Care: Always let the quartz lamps cool completely before cleaning to prevent them from cracking. Never spray cleaning fluid directly onto hot lamps.
  • Gentle Cleaning Only: Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the stainless steel finish.
  • Regular Lamp Check: Periodically check that all lamps are working correctly and  order replacements as soon as one fails to maintain even heating.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Heated Gantry

Not sure what to look for in a heated display? Here are a few key points to help you choose the perfect fit for your kitchen's pass.

Size & Capacity

Make sure the gantry's width matches your hot cupboard. A two-tier model like this is ideal for high-volume services where space is at a premium.

Heat Source

Quartz lamps provide instant, direct heat, which is perfect for fast-paced kitchens as there's no warm-up time needed.

Independent Controls

Having separate controls for each tier gives you the flexibility to only use what you need, helping to manage energy consumption during quieter periods.

Build Quality

Look for robust stainless steel construction. It’s durable enough for a commercial environment and  makes daily cleaning much simpler.

Compatibility

Always check that the overshelf is designed for your specific hot cupboard model. Units like this are factory-fitted to ensure a safe and  secure connection.

More Than Just Light: How Quartz Heating Protects Food Quality

Ever wondered what makes quartz lamps different from a standard heat bulb? It’s all about the type of heat they produce. Think of it like standing in the sun on a cool day – you feel the warmth on your skin instantly, even if the air around you is chilly. That’s direct, infrared heat, and  it's exactly what quartz lamps deliver to your food.

Instead of just blasting hot air, which can dry out sauces and  overcook delicate items, this infrared energy warms the food itself. This means your dishes are kept at a perfect, consistent serving temperature without continuing to 'bake' on the plate. It preserves moisture, texture, and  flavour, ensuring the meal that reaches the customer is just as delicious as when it left the pan.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants

    Essential for keeping main courses and  sides perfectly hot during a chaotic dinner service.

  • Hotel Banqueting Suites

    Perfect for plating up and  holding dozens of covers for weddings and  large corporate events.

  • Carvery Pubs & Cafeterias

    Keeps joints of meat and  vegetable dishes wonderfully warm and  ready for the next customer.

  • Event Caterers

    A must-have for setting up an efficient and  reliable temporary service pass at any venue.
