GasMax Single Burner Griddle Top RGT-16E

The GasMax RGT-16E is a 404mm-wide single-burner benchtop gas griddle top that gives cafes, breakfast bars, food trucks and takeaway kitchens a compact flat-top for eggs, burgers and grilled service. It is supplied in two builds — natural gas (RGT-16E, 28 MJ/h) or LPG (RGT-16ELPG, 27 MJ/h) — both with a 20mm heavy-duty mild-steel plate, cast-iron H-shape burner and flame-failure safety in the same 404(W) x 840(D) x 429(H)mm footprint.

Why operators choose the RGT-16E

• Compact 404mm footprint — the narrowest RGT griddle top, leaving bench space for a fryer or cooktop beside it on a tight line.
• Natural gas or LPG builds — order the RGT-16E for reticulated natural gas or the RGT-16ELPG for bottled LPG sites.
• Cast-iron H-shape burner — spreads flame across the full plate for even, edge-to-edge heat.
• 20mm heavy-duty mild-steel plate — holds temperature under continuous service, resists warping and lifts out for cleaning.
• Flame-failure safety with ignition — cuts the gas automatically if the flame goes out and starts at the turn of a knob.
• Oil collector — scrapes waste straight off the plate into a collector for fast cleandown.
• Stainless steel front and sides with adjustable legs — wipes down fast and levels on any benchtop.

Specifications

Venue suitability

The RGT-16E suits cafes, breakfast bars, sandwich shops, food trucks and takeaway kitchens where a single-burner flat-top matches the volume and bench space is tight. Operators running bigger breakfast or burger volumes should step up to the wider two-, three- or four-burner griddle tops in the same RGT family.

Installation & delivery

Connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter via the 3/4-inch rear gas connection — order the build that matches your site's supply. The unit packs to 410(W) x 870(D) x 370(H)mm and weighs 69 kg net, so it fits standard doorways but needs two people to lift into position; the matching GasMax QR-16-SE stand is available separately if you need to bring it to working height. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Warranty is 2 years parts & labour plus 2 years parts only, with product registration within 14 days of invoice; see our warranty information for full details.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Should I order the RGT-16E or the RGT-16ELPG? A: Match the build to your gas supply: the RGT-16E runs on reticulated natural gas (28 MJ/h), while the RGT-16ELPG runs on bottled LPG (27 MJ/h). If you are unsure what your site runs, your gasfitter can confirm before you order.

Q: Which GasMax RGT griddle top width do I need? A: The RGT-16E is the narrowest in the family at 404mm with one burner — right for tight benches and lighter volume. Step up to the 610mm two-burner RGT-24E, the 910mm three-burner RGT-36E or the four-burner RGT-48E when you need more continuous cooking surface.

Q: How thick is the cooking plate? A: The cooking surface is a 20mm heavy-duty mild-steel plate that holds heat well, resists warping and lifts out for cleaning.

Q: Does the RGT-16E have a flame-failure safety device? A: Yes — a flame-failure system shuts off the gas automatically if the flame is extinguished, and ignition makes starting easy.

Q: What are the dimensions of the RGT-16E? A: Both builds measure 404(W) x 840(D) x 429(H)mm and weigh 69 kg net, packing to 410(W) x 870(D) x 370(H)mm for delivery.

Q: What warranty does the RGT-16E come with? A: It is covered by 2 years parts & labour plus 2 years parts only, with product registration within 14 days of invoice through GasMax.
