Giles 71657 PUP-8 — 96-15/32" Portable Stainless Steel Base for the GHM-8C
The Giles 71657 PUP-8 is the factory-matched 8-foot portable base for the Giles GHM-8C seven-well heated merchandiser, the largest case in the GHM-C line. It turns an eight-foot countertop deli case into a free-standing hot-food island that can be positioned wherever traffic is heaviest — the front of a travel center, the center aisle of a supermarket deli, or a high-volume cafeteria line. The base measures 96-15/32" long by 41-1/8" deep and stands 37" tall on its standard 5" locking swivel casters. It is built entirely of brushed stainless steel, with a wrap-around flange that shields the warmer and a front bumper guard that runs across the entire face. For a permanent location, the casters can be swapped for optional 6" adjustable legs. The heated merchandiser is sold separately.
Key Features of the PUP-8 Base
Giles builds the PUP base in four lengths, one for each GHM-C merchandiser size. The PUP-8 is sized specifically for the 7-well GHM-8C, so the long case seats squarely on the flange with no overhang.
Matched to the GHM-8C
The 96-15/32" length lines up with the footprint of the Giles GHM-8C 7-well merchandiser, so the case and base read as one finished unit on the sales floor.
All Stainless Steel Cabinet
The full cabinet is stainless steel with a brushed finish that wipes down easily around hot food, grease, and daily sanitizer use.
Wrap-Around Flange
A raised flange surrounds the top to shield the warmer and lets the base hold a GHM-8C that still has its countertop legs installed.
5" Locking Swivel Casters
Four 5-inch swivel casters let staff reposition the loaded seven-well display, and the locking brakes hold the 8-foot unit steady during service.
Full-Width Front Bumper
A bumper guard spans the entire 8-foot front face, protecting the stainless panels and the merchandiser from carts and foot traffic.
Optional 6" Adjustable Legs
Giles offers 6" adjustable legs (part 46737) that replace the standard casters for a fixed, stationary display, raising the base to 37-7/8".
Ordering note: This listing is the base only — the GHM-8C heated merchandiser is sold separately. Part 71657 ships with standard swivel casters; Giles designates the adjustable-leg version with a -1 suffix (71657-1). The PUP-8 ships crated at 420 lbs in a 108" x 48" x 46" crate, so plan for freight delivery, a clear path through doorways, and help unloading.
Ideal Applications
Pairing a GHM-8C with its PUP-8 base gives a high-volume hot-food program a seven-well merchandising island instead of a case tied to a fixed counter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which merchandiser does the Giles 71657 PUP-8 fit?
The PUP-8 is the 8-foot base designed for the Giles GHM-8C 7-well heated merchandiser. Giles makes matching PUP-4, PUP-5, and PUP-6 bases for the GHM-4C, GHM-5C, and GHM-6C.
Is the heated merchandiser included with the PUP-8?
No. Part 71657 is the stainless steel base only; the GHM-8C merchandiser is sold separately.
What are the dimensions of the PUP-8 base?
It is 96-15/32 inches long, 41-1/8 inches deep, and 37 inches tall on the standard casters (37-7/8 inches with the optional adjustable legs). It ships crated at 420 lbs.
Can the PUP-8 be installed without casters?
Yes. Giles offers 6-inch adjustable legs, part 46737, that replace the swivel casters for a stationary display. The leg-equipped version is ordered as 71657-1.
Do the casters lock?
Yes. The base rolls on four 5-inch swivel casters, and their locking brakes keep the unit stable while it is in use.
Can the base hold a GHM-8C that still has its countertop legs?
Yes. The wrap-around flange shields the warmer and allows the base to be used with a merchandiser whose countertop legs are installed.
