Polar U-Series 1.5 x 2.1m Integral Walk-In Freezer Room Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in freezer room is a fully integral cold room unit designed for commercial kitchens that need substantial, dedicated frozen storage on-site. With an internal volume of over 5,300 litres, it is well suited to operations that take regular bulk deliveries of frozen product, or those running high-volume service where a reach-in freezer simply cannot provide the capacity required. The unit is finished in olive green and constructed from galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic panels.

The integral refrigeration design means the condensing unit is built into the room itself — there is no requirement for remote condensing equipment or external ducting, which simplifies both the installation process and the ongoing maintenance picture considerably. The system is rated to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens where the surrounding environment can become warm during service. The 80mm insulated wall panels and rebated, lockable door contribute to thermal efficiency and help maintain stable frozen temperatures during regular access.

From an operational standpoint, key practical advantages include:

• Integral refrigeration eliminates the need for remote condensers or ducting runs
• Rebated lockable door supports both security and energy retention
• 80mm panel construction provides strong thermal performance
• Rated for ambient environments up to 43°C — suitable for warm kitchen conditions
• R449A refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to older refrigerants

This is a special-to-order product and is supplied with site survey, delivery, professional installation, and set-up included for mainland UK locations. It is not suitable for return once ordered. The unit weighs 425kg, so floor loading and access routes need to be confirmed in advance — the site survey process will address this. If the unit is to be positioned in an outdoor or semi-exposed location, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately and should be considered. Internal racking and shelving are also sold separately and will need to be specified according to your storage requirements.

This walk-in freezer is best suited to mid-sized catering operations — hotels, contract caterers, school or hospital kitchens, and busy independent restaurants — where frozen storage demands have outgrown what standalone upright freezers can provide. For smaller sites with more modest requirements, a compact cold room or chest freezer configuration may be a more proportionate solution. For very high-throughput operations handling exceptionally large delivery volumes, a larger-footprint walk-in unit may be worth considering.
