Giorik Hi Lite SH40 Rise and Fall Electric Salamander Grill
£3,128.00(£3,753.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Giorik Hi Lite SH40 is a rise and fall electric salamander grill designed for commercial kitchen use. The adjustable grill head moves up and down to control the distance between the heat source and the food, giving chefs direct, practical control over cooking intensity without adjusting power settings. It accommodates a full 1/1 GN shelf, making it suitable for grilling, finishing, and glazing across a range of menu items in a single pass.
Where this unit stands out in service is its heat-up speed. Reaching operating temperature within seconds of being switched on means it can be brought into use quickly during a busy service rather than being left running continuously between covers. This also reduces the amount of residual heat being expelled into the kitchen environment over the course of a shift, which is a practical consideration in tighter or warmer kitchen spaces. Recovery between successive loads is similarly quick, keeping throughput consistent during peak periods.
From an operational standpoint, the rise and fall mechanism offers a level of versatility that a fixed-height salamander does not. Key practical advantages include:
- Variable grill height for precise heat control without changing power output
- Fast heat-up reduces idle running time and associated energy draw
- Full 1/1 GN capacity handles larger batches or standard-sized trays directly
- Three-phase supply keeps current draw balanced across phases
- Compact footprint relative to its grilling capacity
Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, and at 80.5kg this is a substantial piece of equipment that will need appropriate bench support or a purpose-built stand. The unit's depth and height should be assessed against available overhead clearance, particularly if it is to be wall-mounted or positioned beneath extraction canopies with limited headroom. Ventilation requirements should be confirmed with your extraction installer before fitting.
This salamander is well suited to mid- to high-volume operations — hotel kitchens, busy restaurant brigades, and contract catering environments where speed of finish and consistent heat output matter during service. It is less likely to be the right choice for lower-volume sites where a single-phase unit would suffice and be simpler to install. For very high-throughput operations running continuous back-to-back covers, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty configuration would be more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volume or installation setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Does this salamander need a three-phase electrical supply, and is that standard in most commercial kitchens?
Yes, the SH40 runs on a three-phase supply. Three-phase connections are common in purpose-built commercial kitchens, but if you are fitting out a converted space or smaller site, it is worth confirming your supply before ordering. An electrician can advise on the cost and feasibility of bringing in three-phase if it is not already present.
How does the rise and fall mechanism help during a busy service compared to a fixed salamander?
A fixed salamander requires you to manage heat intensity primarily through timing — moving the food closer or further from the element is not an option. The rise and fall head on the SH40 lets chefs adjust the distance between the element and the food in real time, which gives more precise control when finishing delicate items or when switching between products that need different heat intensities.
Is this unit suitable for wall mounting, or does it need a stand?
At 80.5kg, the SH40 is a substantial unit and requires either a heavy-duty purpose-built stand or a bench with sufficient load-bearing capacity. If you are considering wall mounting, structural suitability and overhead clearance — particularly beneath extraction canopies — should be assessed carefully. We would recommend discussing your specific installation setup with us before proceeding.
