Description

Nelson BDC6 Cold Plate Dipping Cart

6-Flavor | Cold Plate | Mobile | Indoor & Outdoor

The Nelson BDC6 is a 6-flavor cold plate dipping cart built for mobile ice cream, gelato, and frozen novelty vending — indoors or out. What makes it genuinely different from a standard refrigerated cart is the cold plate system: plug it in overnight, and the built-in steel eutectic cold plates charge up and hold temperature for up to 10 hours without any power source. No generator, no extension cord, no power hookup required during service. For operators who vend at events, farmers markets, festivals, or anywhere power access is limited or unavailable, the BDC6 is one of the most practical and proven solutions in the industry.

Key Features

• Steel Eutectic Cold Plate System – Charges overnight while plugged in and holds temperature for up to 10 hours without power — no generator or power hookup needed during service
• 6-Flavor Capacity – Holds up to 6 three-gallon tubs for a meaningful flavor variety in a compact, mobile footprint
• Complete Self-Contained Refrigeration System – Full refrigeration unit built into the cart — plug in to charge the cold plates and maintain temperature when power is available
• Electronic Programmable Temperature Control – Precision digital thermostat holds product at the exact temperature needed for ice cream, frozen yogurt, Italian ice, or novelties
• Stainless Steel Interior & Top – Durable, easy-to-clean stainless construction with welded and polished corners and no sharp edges
• White Lexan Exterior Panels – Lightweight, durable exterior with optional custom artwork panels for branded carts
• Stainless Steel Flip Lid with Center Hinge – Includes lid locks to secure product during transport and off-hours

• Poured Polyurethane Foam Insulation – High-performance insulation maintains cold plate temperature throughout a full day of service
• Umbrella Bracket Included – Ready for a shade umbrella right out of the box
• Glide-Out Condensing Unit Base – Easy access to the condensing unit for cleaning and service without disassembly

Best Fit For

• Mobile ice cream, gelato, and frozen novelty vendors working events, festivals, and farmers markets

• Ice cream shops adding a mobile cart for catering, off-site events, or outdoor service
• Concession operators who want a proven, durable push cart with a full-day hold time

Confirm Before Buying

• Cold plates must be charged overnight before use — plan ahead; this is not an instant-on solution

• This cart is designed for novelties, scooping, and Italian ice — confirm the temperature setting on this specific unit matches your product before purchasing
• Optional accessories (bicycle wheel kit, tow hook, custom artwork panels) are available separately — confirm what is included with this specific unit
