> Important product correction: The pictured item is a Carlisle Cateraide commercial insulated food pan carrier, not a Gino Rossi RR45 coffee grinder. Based on the brown color, front-loading design, size, and five-pan cabinet style, it matches the Carlisle PC300N01 configuration. The supplied grinder price of $1,256 does not apply to this item.
Condition
Used – Good Condition – Fully Inspected & Ready for Commercial Use
This Carlisle insulated food carrier has been professionally inspected for structural integrity, door movement, hinges, carrying handles, cabinet condition, and general usability.
The molded polyethylene exterior shows visible scratches, scuffs, discoloration, surface wear, and cosmetic marks consistent with previous catering or commercial foodservice use. A small damaged or recessed area is visible near the top surface, as shown in the supplied close-up photo.
The exact condition of the interior pan tracks, gasket, latch, and removable components should be confirmed from additional interior photos or during pickup. Cosmetic wear does not prevent the unit from being used for insulated food transportation when the door and seal are functioning correctly.
Please review all photos carefully for the exact physical condition.
Description
The Carlisle PC300N01 Cateraide™ is a commercial insulated front-loading food pan carrier designed to transport hot or cold prepared food between kitchens, catering venues, banquet halls, hotels, event spaces, schools, hospitals, and off-site foodservice locations.
This passive carrier holds up to five full-size 2½-inch-deep food pans, with individual molded tracks that help keep each pan stable and separated during loading, unloading, and transportation. It may also accommodate different combinations of 2½-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch-deep food pans, depending on the arrangement.
Commercial foam insulation helps maintain food temperature for extended transport without requiring electricity. Carlisle states that Cateraide insulated carriers can keep food hot or cold for up to approximately six hours, although actual holding time varies according to starting food temperature, ambient conditions, door openings, pan type, and how fully the cabinet is loaded.
The front door opens wide for convenient pan access, while molded handles on the front and rear support easier lifting and carrying. The cabinet is also stackable, allowing multiple carriers to be stored or transported efficiently.

Frequency of door opening
Condition of the gasket and door
Pan material and lid type
