Product Overview

Here we have a brilliant bit of kit designed to make your kitchen service run like a well-oiled machine. The Lincat Panther Two-Tier Heated Overshelves is a purpose-built add-on for your Lincat hot cupboard, creating the perfect heated pass for a busy service. It’s all about keeping plated meals perfectly warm and  ready for front-of-house, without drying them out or taking up extra floor space. It’s the key to bridging that crucial gap between the kitchen and  the diner's table.

If you're running a restaurant, hotel kitchen, carvery, or large-scale canteen, this is designed for you. It turns your hot cupboard into a complete service station, using vertical space to double your holding capacity. By ensuring every plate goes out at the perfect temperature, you'll not only improve customer satisfaction but also ease the pressure on your chefs during the busiest periods.

Featuring powerful quartz lamps for instant, even heat and  independent controls for total flexibility, the Lincat Panther heated overshelves unit is built to perform. It's a simple, effective solution for maintaining food quality and  streamlining your workflow. Please remember, this unit needs to be factory-fitted, so be sure to order it at the same time as your compatible Lincat hot cupboard to create the ultimate service setup.

  • Pros: The quartz lamps offer fantastically even heat distribution for delicate items.
  • Consideration: It must be factory-fitted, so it’s a commitment from day one.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Boathouse' in Shrewsbury were struggling with their Sunday service. Their single-tier gantry was causing a bottleneck, with plates waiting too long to be picked up. They upgraded to a new Lincat hot cupboard with this two-tier heated overshelf unit fitted.

"The difference was immediate. We've effectively doubled our pass capacity. Service is now incredibly smooth, and  our customers always get a piping hot plate of food. It's been a brilliant investment for our kitchen's workflow."

Robert Evans – Head Chef

The upgrade helped them reduce service delays by over 40% during their busiest Sunday lunch period.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is factory-fitted, so it arrives fully assembled on your new Lincat hot cupboard.
  • Ensure the main hot cupboard unit is positioned on a flat, stable, and  level surface.
  • Check that your kitchen's power supply matches the unit's requirements before connection.
  • Always read the manufacturer's manual thoroughly before the first operation to understand all controls.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the unit and  quartz lamps to cool down completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild detergent.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Periodically check that the quartz lamps are heating evenly along their entire length.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Heated Gantry

Need a hand picking the perfect heated overshelf for your setup? Here are a few things to consider.

Size and  Fit

Make sure the gantry's width perfectly matches your hot cupboard or pass counter. A seamless fit is crucial for stability and  workflow.

Heat Source

Quartz lamps, like those in the Lincat Panther heated overshelves, offer instant, direct heat. Ceramic elements provide a gentler, more diffused warmth, which may suit very delicate items.

Single vs. Double Tier

If space is tight but demand is high, two-tier heated overshelves are fantastic. They double your holding capacity without increasing the unit's footprint.

Controls and  Flexibility

Look for gantries with independent controls. This allows you to use just one tier during quieter periods, saving energy and  money.

Pass-Through Design

Decide if you need a pass-through model that can be accessed from both sides, or a simpler wall-mounted or single-sided unit.

Why Quartz Lamps Are a Chef's Best Friend

Ever wondered what makes quartz lamps so special for keeping food warm? Unlike old-school heat bulbs that just blast hot air around, quartz lamps work using infrared energy. Think of it like the difference between sitting in a stuffy, hot room and  feeling the gentle warmth of the sun on a cool day. The infrared rays warm the food directly and  almost instantly, without cooking it further or drying out the surrounding air. This means your sauces stay glossy, your vegetables stay vibrant, and  your roast potatoes stay crisp, not sad and  soggy. It’s a smarter way to hold food at its best.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants

    Perfect for creating a streamlined kitchen pass, keeping dishes perfectly warm for front-of-house staff.

  • Hotel Banqueting Halls

    Essential for plating large numbers of covers for events, ensuring every guest gets a hot meal.

  • Carveries & Buffet Venues

    Keeps plated roasts and  sides at an ideal temperature under the gantry without drying them out.

  • School & University Canteens
