Ultra-Light Polymer Foam 4-Pan Insulated Front-Load Pan Carrier | Metro ML300

The Metro ML300 Ultra-Light Polymer Foam 4-Pan Insulated Front-Load Carrier is a high-performance solution for safely transporting hot or cold food pans to off-site locations. Designed for professional catering operations, schools, hospitals, and meal delivery programs, this carrier offers the perfect combination of lightweight construction, thermal insulation, and durable design.

Weighing just 11.6 pounds, the ML300 is up to 60% lighter than traditional food carriers, making it much easier to lift, load, and transport. Despite its low weight, the carrier is constructed from expanded polypropylene (EPP), a high-strength, closed-cell polymer foam that resists damage from impact and daily wear. It’s tough enough for repeated transport, even in demanding environments.

This unit can accommodate a wide range of pan sizes and depths—full-size, 1/2-size, and 1/3-size pans from 2-1/2" to 8" deep—with internal pan slides spaced 1-1/2" apart. The carrier is insulated with 2" thick walls to maintain food-safe temperatures for over 5 hours, ensuring meals stay hot or cold without electricity. The vaulted door features an integrated flexible seal and swings open a full 270 degrees for easy loading and unloading. It latches securely with a heavy-duty elastomer travel latch that can be removed without tools for cleaning.

Designed for both convenience and organization, the ML300 comes with a built-in label holder that can double as a dry-erase board, and it includes a bonus wire caddy for holding utensils, napkins, or menu cards. The carrier also integrates eight ergonomic handles for versatile carrying and lifting options. It’s fully stackable and compatible with accessories like a strap for hands-free transport, a dolly for mobility, and an optional heater insert for extended hot food holding.

CFC-free, 100% recyclable, and NSF-listed, the Metro ML300 is a smart, sustainable solution for any foodservice operation that requires safe, efficient transport of temperature-sensitive meals. It’s backed by a 2-year warranty for added peace of mind.
