Benchstar Strip Warmer Heater 1219mm - HSW1200

The Benchstar HSW1200 is a 1219 mm overhead strip warmer for holding plated food at serving temperature on the pass. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction, a single toggle switch for operation, and mounting brackets with support chains supplied for installation. At 1,200 W it runs from a standard 10 A outlet.

Why operators choose the HSW1200

• 1219 mm heated length — covers the service window in one unit rather than piecing together shorter warmers
• 1,200 W output — matched to the length it has to cover, so heat is even end to end
• Mounting brackets and support chains supplied — everything needed to hang it is in the box, rather than a separate hardware purchase
• Single toggle switch — one control any staff member can operate correctly, with nothing to mis-set mid-service
• Heavy-duty stainless steel — stands up to the heat and steam directly above a pass, and cleans down easily
• Holds plated food at safe serving temperature — keeps dishes hot between plating and pickup without continuing to cook them
• Maintains temperature without drying food out — designed for holding rather than blasting, so plated food does not dry at the edges
• 5 kg over 1219 mm — light enough to suspend above an existing pass on the supplied brackets and chains

Specifications

Venue suitability

It suits cafeterias, restaurants, pubs, clubs, banquet halls and buffet lines holding plated dishes between the kitchen and the pass. The Benchstar strip warmer range runs from 609 mm to 1820 mm, so match the length to your service window rather than over- or under-covering it.

Installation & delivery

It is designed to be suspended above the pass on the supplied brackets and support chains. It runs on a standard 240 V supply through a normal 10 A power outlet, so no dedicated circuit and no hard-wiring are needed. Confirm the structure above will carry the unit, that the 1219 mm length clears the service window at both ends, and that there is enough height for staff to work underneath comfortably. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 12-month return-to-base warranty — the unit is returned for service rather than attended on site. See our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How long is the heated area on the HSW1200? A: 1219mm, measured across the unit.

Q: What is supplied for mounting it? A: Mounting brackets and support chains are included, so the unit can be suspended above the pass without a separate hardware purchase.

Q: Does it need special wiring? A: No. It runs at 1,200W through a standard 10A outlet, so no dedicated circuit or electrician is required.

Q: Will it dry out plated food? A: It is designed to hold plated food at a safe serving temperature without drying it out, rather than to continue cooking it. Holding times should still follow your venue's food-safety practice.

Q: What other lengths are available? A: The Benchstar strip warmer range covers 609mm (HSW600), 914mm (HSW900), 1219mm (HSW1200), 1524mm (HSW1500) and 1820mm (HSW1800), all on the same design.

Q: What warranty applies? A: Twelve months, return to base. The unit is returned for service rather than a technician attending on site — reasonable on a benchtop appliance you can transport, but worth factoring into downtime planning.
