Product Description
The Lincat P6B5 Panther is a slimline mobile hot cupboard with a bain marie top, designed for holding plated meals and warming plates during service. Its reduced depth is a deliberate design choice — this is a unit built for service areas and pass configurations where space is a genuine operational constraint, not an afterthought.
During a busy service, consistent holding temperature across the cabinet is what matters most. The P6B5 uses fan-assisted heat distribution to help even out temperature throughout the interior, reducing the risk of cold spots that can compromise plated meal quality when covers are running back to back. The bain marie top operates wet or dry and includes a drain-down facility, which makes end-of-service clean-down noticeably quicker compared to designs without one.
Four heavy-duty castors allow the unit to be repositioned between services, moved for different cover configurations, or pulled clear of the pass for thorough cleaning underneath — a practical advantage in kitchens where the service layout is not fixed. Double sliding doors allow access from both sides, and two height-adjustable internal shelves accommodate different plate sizes and stacking arrangements without modification.
- Mobile on four heavy-duty castors for flexible pass positioning
- Fan-assisted heat distribution reduces cold spots during back-to-back covers
- Bain marie top runs wet or dry with drain-down for faster clean-down
- Double sliding doors allow two-sided access throughout service
- Slimline profile suits tight service areas without reducing holding capacity
This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and banqueting kitchens handling mid-volume covers where a mobile, repositionable holding solution adds practical flexibility. For very high-volume operations or wider passes with significantly greater plate turnover, a broader or higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether the P6B5 fits your service volume and pass layout, the team is happy to help before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The P6B5 is well suited to mid-volume covers in restaurant and banqueting environments where flexibility and pass space are priorities. For operations running very large covers or sustained high plate turnover, a wider or higher-capacity hot cupboard may provide more appropriate holding volume — it is worth discussing your service numbers with the team before deciding.
- The bain marie top is designed to operate either wet or dry, giving you the option to hold gastronorm containers in a water bath or use it as a dry surface depending on the service requirement. The built-in drain-down facility makes switching between modes and cleaning down at the end of service straightforward.
- The P6B5 is a mobile electric unit, so it requires an appropriate mains connection rated for the unit's power draw — your electrician should confirm socket type and circuit suitability before installation. Because it runs on castors, no fixed installation is required, but you should ensure the floor surface is level and capable of supporting the unit's loaded weight.
