Hot Beef Butcher Shop, Fried Chicken and Brand New Scratch and Dent Restaurant Equipment Auction

This Avantco CBE-36-HC (Model 178CBE36HC) is a 36-inch two-drawer refrigerated chef base in brand-new, never-installed condition. Designed to serve as a low-profile refrigerated equipment stand, it positions a griddle, charbroiler, or other heavy cooking equipment at a comfortable working height while keeping proteins and prepped ingredients cold and within arm's reach directly below the cooking surface. The unit runs on standard 115V single-phase power at 1/6 HP, making it easy to integrate into virtually any commercial kitchen without special electrical infrastructure.

Constructed entirely in commercial-grade stainless steel, the chef base features two full-length drawers with removable dividers, a flat stainless steel top work surface capable of supporting heavy equipment, lockable casters for mobility and positioning flexibility, and a Carel digital temperature controller for precise refrigeration management. The right-side panel houses the controller and a power rocker switch with ventilation grilles for condenser airflow access. The unit has been verified as new based on the zip-tied power cord, pristine interior and exterior surfaces, and clean casters showing no evidence of prior installation or use.

This unit is ideal for high-volume restaurant kitchens, hotel or resort banquet operations, food truck builds, and catering commissaries where maximizing linear cooking and prep space is critical. It is equally well-suited for live-fire station setups in steakhouses, burger concepts, or taco operations where speed of service requires keeping proteins immediately below the grill or flat top.
