If selected, the sinks will be larger. Hot water is produced by passing the hot water line over the burners. This provides enough hot water for hand washing and washing a dropped utensil. Waste tank has on/off valve for easy emptying of waste water.
The Cart of Carts... The range of items that can be prepared on this cart is only limited by your imagination. Cook breakfast and then open up for lunch with a full menu from fajitas, bbq and hot dogs. Already the few lucky vendors who have the Pro Dog are having huge success.

OPTIONS AIN’T A MUST, BUT THEY SURE ARE NICE Don’t worry if you can’t afford the cart exactly like you want it I teach people everyday, find the best deal, a used cart or even build one and then let that cart buy your second cart - JUST the way YOU Want IT! There are only a few options you can add to the Pro Dog Cart, because it is already loaded up. The Roll Top is an attractive addition and sets in place, no installation required. It opens access to all your pans at once instead of having to move lids around. It’s not only handy but

NSF, UL and ANSI Just like UL, NSF works to review, test and to certify compliance of manufactured goods to a set of standards; safety or operational.
Grade Stainless Steel, the sinks, water lines and all pans and lids bear the NSF mark. All other items on the cart meet or exceed the outline provided by Standard 59. You can tell I am very opposed to an organization that takes advantage of others especially when involving our health and safety. These should be basic rights and not for profit endeavors.
ANSI is he acronym for American National Standards Institute, they create certain standards that others can adopt in manufacturing consumer goods. For example: If you have questions or need additional ANSI would be the organization responsible for determining safe chemical compositions a information, please feel free to contact us. potable water jug. This helps manufacturers from creating a lead based plastic. NSF and UL inspect, review, test and certify or deny certification of the products made. They are not government agencies and they have competition outside the U.S. also. Just like UL is commonly known as the certifier of electrical components, NSF is commonly known to certify food related products. You probably haven’t seen the NSF or UL stamp on your silverware or your pots and pans at home but it is fairly common to see these marks on commercial applications. Not that it is required, but gives status to the manufacturer of a certain product. The process of certification is very, very expensive and most manufacturers don’t do it. They follow the guidelines set in place by ANSI but without having it verified by the expensive 3rd party. According to Federal laws, no state can require NSF certification, they can however require it to meet the standard codes. For hot dog carts, it is ANSI standard 59. The error made by some overzealous health inspectors is they will demand your cart have been approved by NSF. (approved is a misnomer, NSF doesn’t approve anything they just verify compliance for a huge fee) They can be held accountable if they demand NSF certification or approval. Please email legal@NAHDV.org to report a violation. Now: What about Ben’s Carts? BensCarts uses only NSF, UL certified components on all areas where food is cooked. The entire exterior is NSF 304
