Considering a Full Upgrade?
If you're already replacing your fleet, this is the right moment to evaluate whether the Optimus Hot/Cold Meal Delivery Cart is a better fit for your program going forward. It's not a direct one-for-one replacement for the Crimsco architecture — but for many facilities, the switch makes sense.
What Optimus does differently:
- No heated bases or insulated dinnerware required — Crimsco carts relied on charged base heating. Optimus actively heats and refrigerates inside the cabinet, so standard hotel-style dinnerware works fine.
- Compact single-cabinet design — Optimus holds 20–24 meals in a smaller footprint than the large Crimsco models, making it easier to maneuver in tight corridors and elevators.
- Active simultaneous hot and cold — one tray, one cart, both temperatures maintained at the same time with a touchscreen controller.
- 30-day USB temperature logger built in — supports HACCP documentation without manual sampling.
- Intertek safety (UL) and sanitation (NSF) listed, Made in USA — West Lafayette, Ohio.
