Lincat PLH45 Panther Static Hot Cupboard & Plate Warmer
£591.00(£709.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Lincat PLH45 Panther is a floor-standing static hot cupboard built to handle two of the most routine holding tasks in a commercial kitchen: warming plates ahead of service and holding plated meals at safe serving temperatures until they reach the pass. It is a plain-top insulated cabinet with a side-hinged door, three adjustable shelves as standard, and levelling feet to sit steadily on uneven kitchen floors.
Plate temperature is one of those details that quietly affects the quality of every dish that leaves the kitchen. The PLH45 uses thermostatic control to hold a steady, adjustable internal temperature, allowing operators to dial in the right setting for plate warming or gentle meal holding without the risk of over-drying food or cycling the element unnecessarily. The fully insulated construction helps the cabinet retain heat across a full service, which also keeps running costs reasonable over time.
A few practical points are worth considering before installation:
- Static floor-standing unit — no castors fitted as standard, so kitchen layout should be planned accordingly
- Side-hinged door suits positions where access from the front only is available
- Full insulation limits surface heat transfer, which is useful in tighter pass areas
- Three shelves included, adjustable to suit varying plate sizes and holding volumes
The PLH45 is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, and hotel operations running a steady daily cover count where reliable plate warming is a routine requirement. It is a static unit, so operators needing mobility around the kitchen, or those running significantly higher volumes, may find a mobile or larger-capacity alternative a better fit for their workflow.
If you would like to talk through how this unit would work within your kitchen layout and service pattern, we are happy to help you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Is the PLH45 suitable for holding plated meals as well as warming plates?
Yes — the adjustable thermostat allows operators to set the internal temperature appropriately for either plate warming ahead of service or holding plated meals at safe serving temperatures until they reach the pass. The key is dialling in the right temperature for the task, as the two duties typically call for slightly different settings.
Does the unit need any special installation or electrical connection?
The PLH45 is an electrically powered unit and will need a suitable power supply in place before installation. As a static floor-standing cabinet with no castors, the position should be decided as part of your kitchen layout planning rather than after the fact — repositioning later is more involved than with a mobile unit.
How do I know if this unit has enough capacity for my service volume?
The PLH45 with its three adjustable shelves is a practical fit for restaurants, pub kitchens, and hotel operations running a steady cover count. If you are running high-volume service across multiple sections or need significantly more holding space, it is worth speaking with us about whether a larger-capacity model would serve you better.
