Frontline International Introduces New LOV Caddy
Low-profile UCO transport fits low oil volume fryers
February 6, 2025—Frontline International, creator of smart cooking oil management solutions for foodservice kitchens, is introducing its new LOV Caddy. Designed to remove and transport used cooking oil from low oil volume (LOV) fryers, the LOV Caddy has a lower profile than Frontline’s standard caddies to fit into tighter spaces. It also comes with an integral magnet compatible with LOV fryers that include a magnetic drain pan switch. For added convenience, the Frontline LOV Caddy is also backwards compatible with LOV fryers that use standard drain switches. One caddy does the job of two!
Frontline’s stainless steel LOV Caddy easily slides under the LOV fryer on heavy-duty casters, needing just 8.25 inches of clearance. If magnetic, the caddy automatically works with the drain pan proximity switch to facilitate drainage and enhance safety. When the caddy is full, simply secure the lid, roll it to the containment tank, connect the hose, and pump out the contents. There’s no mess to clean up and no need for employees to handle hot grease.
Frontline is an engineering company. Most equipment solutions in its portfolio are born from challenges encountered in real life, from major chain restaurants to a single installation in need of safety, savings, or both. The new LOV Caddy is no different.
“McDonald’s Canada came to us with a challenge,” said Giovanni Brienza, senior vice president, Frontline International. “The opportunity wasn’t exclusive to them, but they needed a solution. Their newly sourced LOV fryers featured an updated magnetic waste oil caddy engagement mechanism. The old actuation was mechanical. We hit the drawing boards, had a prototype created in two weeks, and were in full production four weeks after that.”
The LOV Caddy’s ease of use promotes compliance with proper grease disposal protocols, saving the environment (and plumbing) from the ravages of grease that is poured down the drain. The U.S. EPA says improper grease disposal is responsible for nearly half of all sewer blockages in the U.S. each year, costing millions in repairs.
Frontline International is a trusted partner in complete cooking oil solutions for foodservice kitchens. The LOV Caddy is the ideal way to eliminate a messy kitchen job while helping to assure quality and safety.
