Moffat FTG3 Hot Top with Gantry | Heated Food Servery

The Moffat FTG3 is a countertop hot servery unit designed for front-of-house food display and holding. The serving surface uses toughened glass Thermopanels with integrated heating elements that distribute heat evenly across the full working area. An illuminated quartz-heated gantry sits overhead, keeping plated dishes and serving vessels warm whilst presenting food attractively to guests throughout service.

Even heat distribution matters more than it might first appear in a live service environment. Cold spots develop quickly when lids are lifted repeatedly during a busy sitting, and surface temperatures can drop below safe holding levels before staff notice. The Thermopanel design maintains a consistent temperature across the whole unit rather than relying on heat radiating from a single point. Temperature control is automatic and protected against unauthorised adjustment — a practical safeguard in any front-of-house setting where multiple team members are working the counter at once.

The 1/1 Gastronorm-compatible panel format means standard GN containers drop straight in without adaptation, keeping batch replenishment and container changes straightforward during a live sitting.

• Thermopanel surface heating reduces temperature drop during repeated lid lifts
• Illuminated overhead gantry improves food presentation and guest visibility
• GN-compatible layout keeps container changes simple during service
• Tamper-protected temperature control prevents accidental adjustment by staff
• Countertop format fits existing servery counters without structural modification

As a countertop unit, the FTG3 requires a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of supporting its weight. The gantry adds to the overall height, so ceiling clearance and the surrounding counter layout are worth confirming before the unit arrives on site. The FTG3 is well suited to moderate service volumes — carvery restaurants, hotel buffets, staff dining facilities, and function catering are all typical applications. For operations running extended or back-to-back sittings at higher throughput, it is worth considering whether a larger or more heavy-duty configuration would better match the demand placed on it.

If you are planning a new servery layout or reviewing an existing front-of-house setup, the team is happy to talk through whether the FTG3 is the right fit for your service style and volume before you go ahead.
