A New Food Holding and Transportation Solution from Metro

April 13, 2017 | No Comments »

Save the heavy-lifting and awkward transportation products for someone else! Metro has taken an innovative approach for catering and restaurant professionals by designing and creating the Mightylite ML300.

Weighing in at a conveniently-lightweight 9.1 pounds, the ML300 is a 60% lighter solution to other traditional polymer-molded foam filled pan carriers. The secret to the lightweight success is in the advanced polymer foam (EPP). EPP is also a chemically inert material that is safe for food contact, easy to clean, and does not support bacterial growth. EPP also is a great insulating material, keeping hot food hot, and cold food cold, for 5+ hours.

But this carrier isn’t just lightweight and dependable. It is fitted with ergonomic handles that give you the flexibility to lift from the sides, bottom, ends, or top for any handoff situation. Too many injuries can occur lifting a lot of weight (especially when handing off to someone), and this should take a load off of anyone’s shoulders and back.

The Metro ML300 is stackable as well! Saving space is always a must for catering and restaurants, and it can hold three 12” x 20” x 4” pans with ease. It features an unbreakable elastomer travel latch and has a built in door seal that never needs replacing. It comes with a slide-in wire caddy to organize ice packs, hot/cold packs, or odd size items like quart containers.

This carrier is built strong, and built to last. But should something happen, Metro has equipped the Mightylite ML300 with a 2 year no hassle warranty. So save yourself a lot of trouble, and pick the Metro ML300!
