Winholt SASSR1860 Solid Aluminum Shelf, Reinforced, 18" x 60" NSF Certified

Winholt is a premier American manufacturer of high-quality stainless steel and aluminum equipment for the foodservice, retail, and material handling industries. Known for their durable material handling carts, high-performance heated holding cabinets, and specialized food prep solutions, Winholt is supported in Canada through a network of specialized culinary equipment partners and regional hubs in Mississauga, Ontario, and Calgary, Alberta.

Shipping

Winholt products are high-density, heavy-duty stainless steel and aluminum equipment. Because they feature delicate glass or plastic components and precision-aligned metal frames, they are handled as high-density, fragile cargo.

Winholt maintains its primary Canadian inventory and logistical oversight through specialized culinary distributors in Mississauga, with secondary stock often maintained in Calgary to service Western Canadian regional dealers and high-volume project orders.

• Standard in-stock models (e.g., universal pan racks, utility carts, and stainless steel tables) are typically processed and dispatched within 2 to 4 business days.
• For specialized configurations or high-volume custom orders, lead times generally range from 4 to 6 weeks, shipping directly from one of Winholt’s primary manufacturing facilities in Grand Prairie, Texas, or San Bernardino, California.
• All equipment is professionally crated or reinforced with heavy-duty cardboard and secured to reinforced skids for LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight.
• A meticulous visual inspection of the casters and corner bracing is mandatory upon delivery to document any potential transit damage on the Bill of Lading.

Warranty

Winholt provides a manufacturer warranty that reflects the industrial-grade durability and high-performance engineering of their American-made products.

Winholt offers a 1-year limited parts and labour warranty on most professional equipment from the original date of purchase (not to exceed 18 months from the date of shipment).

• The warranty covers critical mechanical and electronic parts, including the heating elements and thermostats in holding cabinets, as well as the structural integrity of the stainless steel or aluminum frames.
• All warranty-related service must be pre-authorized by Winholt’s service department and performed by an authorized service provider.
• Most commercial Winholt units qualify for on-site service within a specific radius of major Canadian urban centers like Mississauga and Calgary.

Service & Support

Technical support in Canada is focused on ensuring that high-volume food service and organization environments maintain consistent equipment uptime and food safety standards.

Repairs and warranty work are performed by a national network of factory-trained technicians. In the Mississauga and Calgary regions, specialized culinary equipment partners serve as primary providers for on-site repairs and maintenance.

• A comprehensive inventory of genuine Winholt OEM replacement parts—including heavy-duty casters, heating elements, thermostats, and gaskets—is maintained through national parts distributors like Parts Town Canada.
• Support teams assist kitchen managers and facility directors with initial holding cabinet calibration and optimizing airflow parameters for different product types.

Exceptions and Exclusions

To maintain the validity of the warranty, the equipment must be operated and maintained according to professional food service and organization standards.

• Failures caused by a lack of proper routine maintenance, specifically the regular cleaning of the heating elements and the inspection of the casters, are not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
• The use of non-approved, highly corrosive cleaning agents that damage the stainless steel finish or the electronic components may void the warranty.
• Damage to the heating mechanism or glass/plastic components caused by dropping the unit or improper handling is considered operator error and is not covered.
• Wearable items such as casters, O-rings, and light bulbs are classified as maintenance items and are generally excluded from the primary warranty after an initial defect period.
• Any damage sustained during transportation is a freight matter and must be reported immediately to the carrier at the time of delivery to facilitate a claim.
