Insulated Food Carriers

Insulated Food Carriers for Catering & Food Transport

In catering, delivery, and food service operations, mobility is essential. Having a dependable way to move pans of food while maintaining safe temperatures ensures your guests enjoy every meal as intended. Metro Mightylite insulated food carriers combine durability, lightweight construction, and long-lasting temperature retention to give you confidence to transport hot or cold food anywhere.  

Why Choose Metro Insulated Food Carriers?

Mightylite carriers are designed to give operators an edge over standard insulated boxes. With superior temperature retention, ergonomic design, and unmatched durability, they solve the everyday challenges of off-site catering and food delivery.

Key benefits include:

• • Lightweight build: up to 60% lighter than comparable models.
  • Durability: impact-resistant and chemical-resistant materials.
  • Food safety: maintain safe serving temperatures for 5+ hours.
  • Eco-friendly: made from 100% recyclable polymer foam.
  • Easy to clean: smooth surfaces resist spills and sanitize quickly.

Lightweight Food Pan Carriers with Advanced Polymer Foam Construction

What makes our insulated food carriers unique is their construction. Each unit is made from expanded polypropylene (EPP), an advanced polymer foam with an incredible strength-to-weight ratio.

EPP offers:

• • Resistance to dents, cracks, and impact during transport.
  • Unaffected performance when exposed to cleaning chemicals or food spills.
  • Excellent insulation to lock in hot or cold temperatures.
  • Fully recyclable, sustainable design.

Impact-resistant and lightweight, it is the ideal material for on-the-go food storage. 

Keep Hot Food Hot and Cold Food Cold for Over 5 Hours

Temperature control is the top priority in food transport to keep food out of the temperature danger zone. Metro Mightylite insulated food boxes maintain safe serving conditions for both hot and cold foods.

• • Holds up to four full-size food pans in the standard model.
  • Larger designs accommodate six full-size pans.
  • Keeps contents safe for over five hours without electricity.
  • Use the Mightlite heater when more heat is needed.

Ergonomic Catering Carriers for Easier Transport

In addition to safe food handling, Metro Mightylite insulated food carriers are also designed for comfort and efficiency. They are easier to carry and more convenient for staff to move.

• • Eight ergonomic handles for easy lifting from any angle.
  • 60% lighter than competitors’ insulated carriers.
  • Easy for one person to carry or two people to move together.
  • Optional carrying strap makes one-handed or two-person carrying easier.
  • Mightylite dolly can be used to transport multiple food carriers at once.

Multipurpose Food Boxes for Every Application

The Mightylite pan carrier’s innovative design allows it to be used as both a hot food carrier and a catering cooler. Additionally, Mightylite is available in two designs to fit your workflow:

• • Top-Load Carriers: best for quick access to pans, stacking, or using as a cooler with display capability. Lids can double as a display surface at events.
  • Front-Load Carriers: ideal for sheet pans and catering trays, allowing food to be loaded and unloaded easily.

Adding a dolly transforms either model into a rolling insulated cart for effortless on-site service.
