Victor PDH2 Heated Plate Dispenser (Lowerator)
£1,559.00(£1,870.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Victor PDH2 is a heated plate dispenser — commonly called a lowerator — designed to hold two stacks of dinner plates at a consistent serving temperature throughout service. British-made and designed to integrate with Victor's hot cupboard and servery range, it is a practical choice for operators already working within that system or looking to build a cohesive servery setup.
Pre-heated plates make a tangible difference during busy service. Food placed onto a warm plate retains its temperature noticeably longer, which matters during extended buffet runs or high-volume covers where plates are drawn in quick succession. The fixed thermostat maintains a steady hold temperature throughout service without requiring staff attention, keeping front-of-house operations running without interruption.
The PDH2 is built with mobile servery use in mind. Four heavy-duty swivel castors — two of which lock — allow the unit to be moved into position and secured exactly where it is needed, which suits flexible or banqueting servery layouts well. A curly power cable with plug park keeps trailing cables managed safely when the unit is in transit, and the stainless steel lid protects plates between services. A removable internal crumb tray makes routine cleaning straightforward.
- Mobile on four swivel castors, two of which lock for secure placement
- Fixed thermostat holds serving temperature without staff adjustment
- Curly cable with plug park manages trailing cables during movement
- Stainless steel lid and removable crumb tray support hygiene compliance
- Integrates with the Victor hot cupboard and servery range
This model is well suited to mid-volume operations — hotel restaurants, staff canteens, school dining rooms, and similar environments with steady plate throughput. For larger-scale banqueting or high-volume institutional catering, a unit with greater stack capacity may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the PDH2 is the right fit for your service volumes or existing servery layout, the team is happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is the PDH2 suitable for a banqueting operation serving large numbers?
The PDH2 holds two plate stacks and is well suited to mid-volume service environments such as hotel restaurants, staff canteens, and school dining rooms. For large-scale banqueting where plates are drawn very rapidly or in high numbers, a unit with greater stack capacity would be worth considering — the team can advise on the right option for your expected covers.
Does the PDH2 need a dedicated power supply or any special installation?
The PDH2 is a plug-in unit with a standard power connection, so it does not require any fixed installation or dedicated electrical supply — the curly cable and plug park are designed for mobile servery use. It can be positioned wherever access to a suitable socket is available, making it straightforward to deploy alongside an existing servery setup.
Can the PDH2 be used as a standalone unit or does it need to be part of a Victor servery system?
The PDH2 works as a standalone heated plate dispenser and is not dependent on other Victor equipment to function. That said, it is designed to complement Victor's hot cupboard and servery range, so operators already running Victor equipment will find it integrates naturally in terms of styling and workflow.
