Top with Pan Liner

Its top accommodates up to (9) 1/6 size food pans and (3) 1/9 size pans up to 6" deep (sold separately). These are great for holding common sandwich or salad toppings, from eggs and cheese to green pepper or ham. A liner catches any ingredients that may fall between the pans, preventing them from falling within the cabinet and making cleanup a breeze!

Insulated Lid

A stainless steel insulated lid encloses the top to maintain proper, food safe temperatures. It features a lift-up design for fast and easy use.

3/4" Thick Cutting Board

An industry-best 3/4" thick, 8" deep cutting board is mounted to the table, providing a place for slicing and assembling.

Casters Included

Four heavy-duty 4" casters (2 locking) provide the unit with convenient mobility, making cleaning and servicing a breeze!

Refrigerated Storage Space

Beneath the workspace is additional storage space. Because it's refrigerated, the space is great for storing back-up ingredients, such as deli meat and cheese, as well as less common toppings. An epoxy-coated shelf is included and can accommodate up to 88 lb. of weight, helping to organize your assorted supplies.

Energy-Efficient Refrigeration

High quality performance is made possible by the unit's 3/7 hp refrigeration system, which maintains temperatures between 33 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It does this by circulating R290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally responsible choice for your business.

Stainless Steel Construction

The construction of this unit is designed with commercial use in mind. It features a stainless steel exterior and an aluminum interior, which are fortified with foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation. The insulation also helps to promote proper temperature retention. For operation, the prep table requires a 115V electrical connection.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Are there any temperature specifications to keep in mind when installing this Avantco prep table?
Using this unit in consistent ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit will void the warranty. Any exposure to ambient temperatures of 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above will also void the warranty.
Avantco prep tables have an easily removable cutting board for your convenience. This makes for easy cleaning and for helping fit through narrow spaces. After removing the cutting board from the Avantco prep table the standard tops are 29 3/8" deep, the mega tops are 33 13/16" deep, and the pizza prep tables are 31 1/2" deep.
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
To promote proper air flow through your Avantco unit, please ensure that the wire ledges on the shelves are positioned toward the back of the unit. These ledges help keep enough space between your product and the back wall so that cold air can adequately circulate through the cabinet. Incorrectly installing the shelf ledges can restrict airflow, causing the temperature in the bottom of your unit to rise.
Many manufacturers offer their refrigeration equipment in several different height options to best meet your needs. Here's a breakdown of how we classify these different heights:

Counter Height: Work surface is more than 34" high; standard-height unit.

ADA Height: Work surface height is 34" or less; complies with ADA regulations.

Low Profile: Work surface height is less than 32"; designed to fit under most ADA-height counters.

If the unit you are purchasing does not have a flat top, such as a worktop or sandwich/salad prep table, it may affect whether or not it will align with certain countertops. To ensure that the product will meet your needs, please reference the product's literature and specifications.
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
The units come with casters preassembled underneath the pallet.
The types of pans and pan sizes that should be used in your Avantco refrigerated prep table depend on the table model and size. It’s important to refer to your equipment's Specification Sheet and/or Owner's Manual to see what pan sizes and configurations are recommended. Certain accessories may be needed in order to use pans of a different size than what is recommended.

It is also important to note that mixing and matching pans from different manufacturers may result in the pans not fitting properly. To ensure your pans will fit, refer to the items listed in the product’s "Works With" section. The pan sizes and configurations that each refrigerated prep table accommodates may vary. The items included in the “Works With” section may be used in your model, though configurations combining two or more different pan sizes may not be possible or may require adjustments to be made. The exceptions below apply to the model type indicated:

Mega Top Models – Can fit up to (3) 1/3 size pans from front to back without the use of a middle divider; 1/3 and 1/6 size pans cannot be combined in the same section

Standard Top Models – To use 1/3 size pans, included divider bars must be removed, or narrower divider bars must be used

Pizza Prep Models – While 1/3 size pans are the standard to use in pizza prep models, 1/6 size pans may be used when the orientation is changed
This unit’s refrigeration system is located in the lower rear of the cabinet, causing the step in its interior. The step may decrease the inner depth of the cabinet's lower interior versus what is listed as its overall interior depth, so please check the unit’s specs and diagrams to ensure it will accommodate your storage needs.

This Sandwich prep unit is very nice! The top has much more room than the one I upgraded from! I was not expecting that because the measurements were the same as the old one. This one must be designed much better. The lid is also much roomier and allows proper storage of bottles in the upright position. I am very glad I went with this unit!

NEVER WORKED PROPERLY, NEVER, this is a classic Avantco product, just money for nothing. So if you need a prep table or whatever equipment don't buy Avantco, you will for sure loose time and money. (this is our second avantco product, the other one was out of the kitchen after the first use ..... 15 min)

I was apprehensive about getting an Avantco product but when I saw that the warranty was now similar to top US made products I assumed quality was getting good. I cannot say anything about how this will turn out long term, but I can say that this is NOT a quality made product. I don't know if I got a bad one or it's the shoddy quality control, but seriously, who lets a product with such amateur looking, haphazard top corners out? It's right where your hands are and the corner is sharp at some spots where you can easily cut and add some bloody drama to the menu. The corner should be a smooth bent seamless piece of metal! The seamed corner will sure be prone to rust from condensation and near impossible to clean right in no time. From a design perspective, the very useful Read More

If I could give no stars I would. Died in less then 3 months of light use. But because it's a home based business it's not covered. Faulty garbage. Buyer beware.

Great little refrigerator! We needed a salad prep refrigerator, and this small, refrigerated sandwich prep table is perfect for a salad station. The servers love it as well, no more setting up a separate area and taking everything out and putting it back in the big refrigerator. It shipped fast and was very well packaged. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

It offers plenty of room to assemble your culinary creations while the refrigerated cabinet base below the work area gives you room to store extra ingredients, garnishes, condiments, or topping pans.
