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 incorporates toughened glass Thermopanels with built-in 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 while presenting the food attractively to guests throughout service.

Even heat distribution across a servery top is more important than it might initially appear. Cold spots develop quickly when lids are lifted repeatedly during a busy sitting, and food temperatures can drop below safe holding levels before staff notice. The Thermopanel design maintains a consistent surface temperature across the whole unit rather than relying on heat radiating from a single point. The surface temperature is automatically controlled and the setting is protected against unauthorised adjustment — a sensible precaution in any staffed front-of-house environment where multiple team members are working the counter.

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

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

As a countertop unit, the FTG3 needs a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of bearing its weight. The gantry increases the overall height, so ceiling clearance and the surrounding counter layout are worth checking before the unit arrives on site. This unit is well suited to moderate service volumes — carvery restaurants, hotel buffets, staff dining facilities, and function catering are all typical applications. For high-throughput operations running extended or back-to-back sittings, it is worth discussing 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 your current front-of-house setup, the team is glad to talk through whether the FTG3 suits your service style and volume before you commit.
