Product Description
The Gamko Maxiglass MG3/500G is a 500-litre upright bottle cooler fitted with two hinged glass doors and finished in anthracite externally with a silver interior. It is designed to store and display bottled drinks at correct serving temperatures in commercial bar and hospitality environments, holding in the region of 490 standard 33cl bottles across its adjustable internal shelving.
Gamko units are a common sight in high-volume bars, hotel beverage stations, and licensed premises where consistent cooling under repeated door openings is a daily requirement. The finned evaporator design supports a reasonably quick pull-down when restocking warm product, which matters during busy service periods when the cabinet is being accessed frequently. Running on R600a refrigerant — a low global warming potential gas — the unit operates with relatively modest energy consumption for its capacity, though at 55dB it is worth considering placement relative to quieter areas of a venue.
From a practical standpoint, this cabinet offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Lockable glass doors help manage stock security in shared or public-facing service areas
- Electronic thermostat allows precise temperature control across the 1°C to 18°C range
- Auto-defrost reduces routine maintenance requirements during service
- Adjustable feet allow stable positioning on uneven or tiled bar floors
- Anthracite finish suits both front-of-house and back-bar settings without looking out of place
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it is a freestanding refrigerated cabinet requiring only a suitable mains connection and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation. At 146kg, positioning should be planned before delivery, particularly if the route to the installation point involves steps or narrow corridors. The 530mm depth keeps the footprint relatively compact, which suits bar counters where space is at a premium, though the 900mm width means it occupies a reasonable run of back-bar.
This model is well suited to mid-to-large licensed premises, hotel bars, and function venues that need substantial chilled bottle storage in a presentable upright format. It is a practical choice where a single large-capacity unit is preferable to multiple smaller ones. For very high-throughput operations requiring faster recovery or greater capacity, a heavier-duty or larger-format model may be worth considering instead.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet suits your layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the anthracite finish and glass doors make it presentable enough for back-bar or front-of-house placement. The lockable doors are a practical consideration in any customer-facing environment where stock security matters. Bear in mind the operating noise level of 55dB, so placement directly adjacent to a quiet seating area may not be ideal.
- Like most upright bottle coolers, the MG3/500G requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides to allow heat to dissipate from the condenser. We recommend following Gamko's installation guidelines on minimum clearances. The unit is freestanding and does not require any specialist services beyond a standard mains electrical connection, but at 146kg it should be positioned carefully before switching on.
- The finned evaporator supports a reasonably efficient pull-down when warm bottles are loaded, which is important in environments where deliveries or bar restocking happen mid-service. That said, no bottle cooler of this type will recover instantly under a full warm load — in very high-throughput venues where large quantities of room-temperature stock are introduced regularly, a unit with a more powerful refrigeration circuit may be worth discussing with us.
