Sterling Pro SPI122 1200 Ltr Double Door Upright Fridge

The Sterling Pro SPI122 is a full-height, double door gastronorm refrigeration cabinet offering 1200 litres of usable storage across two independently sealed sections. Built for continuous use in professional kitchens, it runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with 50mm injected insulation throughout, keeping energy consumption in check without compromising on holding temperature during busy service periods.

In a working kitchen environment, a cabinet of this size is typically deployed as primary cold storage in mid-to-large operations — large enough to handle significant prep volumes, yet compact enough in depth to sit within most standard kitchen layouts without requiring a bespoke fit-out. The forced-draft evaporator keeps temperature distribution consistent across the full interior, which matters when the cabinet is being opened repeatedly throughout a shift.

From an operational standpoint, the SPI122 is built around the practicalities of daily kitchen use:

• Stainless steel interior and exterior — durable and straightforward to clean down
• Rounded internal edges reduce dirt traps and speed up end-of-day cleaning routines
• Removable magnetic door gaskets can be pulled out and cleaned without tools
• 18 grid-level positions give flexibility when storing full GN trays alongside smaller prep containers
• Full-length integrated door handles support self-closing operation, reducing the risk of doors being left ajar during service

The unit is designed for a standard single-phase electrical supply and the condensing unit is mounted beneath the cabinet, which keeps the top clear and avoids heat discharge at head height — a practical consideration in kitchens where ceiling clearance or overhead extraction is already constrained. The 726mm depth is shallower than some comparable cabinets, which helps in tighter kitchen layouts, though you should still verify the footprint against your available run before ordering.

The SPI122 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and central production units where a reliable high-capacity fridge is needed as a day-to-day workhorse. For smaller operations with more modest throughput, a single-door cabinet may represent a more appropriate fit. For very high-volume sites with greater stock rotation demands, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this cabinet suits your layout, service volume, or existing cold storage setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
