Carlisle IT40003 Details

Store and transport all your mouth-watering creations in this versatile Carlisle IT40003 Cateraide™ IT onyx black front loading insulated food pan carrier! Capable of holding (4) 4" deep or (6) 2 1/2" deep full size or fractional pans, this carrier is perfect for moving hot or cold dishes to and from catered events! IT pan carriers have a marine edge on top of the unit that prevents any spilled liquids from dripping down into the pan carrier. The back drain feature allows any liquid to fall off behind the unit, preventing contamination. Due to its innovative double hinge design, you never have to worry about metal hinges cracking the plastic and ruining your carrier! These hinges are designed to expand and contract with the unit, according to the temperature, so breakage is never a concern. Furthermore, these hinges allow you to fold the door completely against the side of the carrier for quick, unhindered access to its contents!

Made from heavy-duty, easy-to-clean polyethylene, this foam-insulated carrier is capable of keeping its contents at safe serving temperature for over 6 hours! The sturdy construction features extra wide sure-grip handles and a built-in easy lock attachment for use with an optional integrated dolly for easy transport!

It is insane how I have was able to operate my catering business, with out this Carlisle Food Carrier! Not only does it live up to its promise of keeping your cold items at 41 degrees for the duration of your event, it is also capable of keeping your warm items at the safe serving temp for almost 6 hours. I will not purchase anything other than Carlisle products from here on!

I did a lot of research and found that the Carlisle food pan carrier was the best choice. Also discovered that the deal I could get with the pans included from Webstaurant was the best out there. Haven’t been disappointed with the performance of the box.

Purchased these 18 months ago, and the insides have already warped and make it difficult to load in pans. If you plan to use these every week for multiple events, I suggest buying Cambro instead of Carlise, as my large Cambros have been going strong for years now. Not worth the savings to buy Carlise over Cambro.

Fantastic food carrier. It is big and keeps food very hot for a long time. It is heavier than I thought it would be. Having a dolly is a must. Manufacturer has a coupon to get 6 free food pans with purchase. Great deal.

These hot boxes are pricey, so it makes it hard to invest in one but if you are catering they are an absolute lifesaver. They keep food steaming hot for hours and they are so easy to open and close and keep the heat in. Worth the investment!

Purchased 2 of these in addition to 12 PC300N's (the smaller/cheaper model from Carlisle which holds 5 pans). All worked as advertised holding food hot for hours. Used them intensively for 2 weeks straight feeding 2000 people lunch and dinner. Over 100 staff handled them without incident. If one has the extra money i would recommend these over the PC300N's because these look awesome!

What can I say about this, I have now purchased two and they are amazing. Food stays hot for a very long time, as well as cold with a cold pack insert. Will definitely buy more!

We bought this 3 months ago. It has greatly increased our capacity for transport in our vehicles. It looks nice and performs well. We will be buying more of this brand in the next few weeks.

The carlisle insulated carriers arrived quickly after purchase; though they could be packed better. The carlisle full size hotel pans with smart lids slide in and out of the unit smoothly. Fits 6 full size pans as advertised.

Love, love, love this carrier! We preheated the unit by putting some pans of boiling water in the bottom for about ten minutes while we were prepping. Kept things at temp for the three hours we needed and probably could have gone much longer. I think next time we will use some heated bricks or stones that we can leave in during transport. The fit sliding the pans in was difficult at first, but once the first one is in it sets the width and the other pans went it much more smoothly. We have named this one Hans and intend to buy it a mate named Franz for our food truck and catering needs. Great price for great quality.
