Anvil 22 x GN 1/1 Banquet Cart MFW0011

The Anvil MFW0011 is a mobile banquet cart holding 22 x GN1/1 pans across 11 levels, with a 30 to 110 °C controlled thermostat and a temperature display. It has forced air circulation, double stainless steel elements and a bottom water tray to hold humidity when you need it — which is what stops plated food drying out across a function service. It rolls on 150 mm braked castors and needs a 15 A supply.

Why operators choose the ICE-MFW0011

• Water tray for humidity when needed — optional humidity rather than always-on. Dry heat at 90 degrees C turns plated food to leather within the hour, and being able to choose is better than either extreme
• 22 x GN1/1 on 11 levels — a genuine banquet load - two pans per level across eleven levels
• 30 to 110 degrees C with a temperature display — the range covers gentle holding through to genuinely hot, and the display means the temperature is read rather than guessed - which matters for your food safety records
• Forced air circulation — the top level and the bottom level hold the same temperature. On an eleven-level cart that is the whole point
• Double durable stainless steel elements — two elements rather than one, both stainless
• 150 mm castors with brakes — large castors roll over thresholds and floor joints that small ones catch on - and they lock when the cart is in position
• Bumpers all around the base — a loaded banquet cart meets doorframes. The bumper is what stops that denting the cabinet
• Waterproof on/off switch and rubber door seal — both are wash-down details on a cart that travels and gets cleaned constantly
• Recessed handle and stainless steel lock — nothing protruding to catch, and the contents stay secure in transit

Specifications

Venue suitability

The MFW0011 suits function centres, hotels, hospitals, aged care and caterers plating in a kitchen and serving elsewhere. The figures that decide the purchase are the 780 mm width and 1,775 mm height against your doorways and lifts, and whether you have a 15 A outlet where the cart will be parked.

Installation & delivery

It needs a 15 A outlet — 2.5 kW draws about 10.4 A, just over what a standard 10 A point carries, so an electrician will need to fit one wherever the cart is plugged in. Dimensions are recorded width x height x depth: 780 mm wide, 1,775 mm tall, 960 mm deep — measure doorways, lifts and the 960 mm depth against corridor turns, which is where a deep cart gets stuck. Fill the water tray before bringing the cabinet up to temperature. Our data records no weight for this model.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does the water tray do?

It adds humidity to the cabinet. Holding plated food at 80 to 100 degrees C in dry air dries the surface within the hour - sauces skin, meat goes leathery. The bottom water tray raises humidity so the cart holds food rather than dehydrating it. It is there 'when needed', so you can also run dry for anything that should stay crisp.

Q: How many pans does it hold?

22 x GN1/1 across 11 levels - two pans per level. It uses a GN2/1 wiring grid, so each level takes a full 2/1 footprint or two 1/1 pans.

Q: Will it fit through my doorways and lifts?

That is the question to answer before anything else. It is 780 mm wide, 1,775 mm tall and 960 mm deep. The depth is the one that catches people out on corridor turns. Measure the whole route, not just the narrowest door.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

A 15 amp outlet. At 2.5 kW it draws about 10.4 A, which is just over a standard 10 A point - so it needs a 15 A supply wherever the cart is parked and plugged in. Worth thinking about if the cart will be used in more than one location.

Q: Can it hold at a low temperature?

Yes - the range starts at 30 degrees C, so it works as a gentle holding or proving cabinet as well as a hot one, with the temperature displayed rather than estimated.

Q: What warranty does the ICE-MFW0011 come with?

Covered for 12 months. Our records state the duration but not whether labour is included, so confirm the exact cover with our team before ordering rather than assuming it. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
