FAQs
How long can the ML400 keep food hot or cold?
The Mightylite ML400 is designed to keep food safe and at proper temperatures for 5+ hours, making it ideal for off-site food delivery or catering events.
2. What size pans does the ML400 support?
It supports 12"x20" full-size food pans (GN 1/1) and is also compatible with 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 size pans. It can hold up to 6 pans, depending on their depth.
How much does the ML400 weigh?
The ML400 weighs approximately 14.1 lbs (6.4 kg), which is 60% lighter than traditional polymer molded carriers, thanks to its expanded polypropylene (EPP) construction.

What safety guidelines should I follow?
Ensure food is at proper temperature before loading. Avoid open flames or canned fuels. Load from the bottom up for better stability, and don’t stack units above 74” in height.
