Polar U-Series 1.8 x 2.1m Integral Walk-In Freezer Room Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in freezer room is a fully integral cold room designed for commercial kitchens that need substantial dedicated frozen storage. With a gross capacity of 6490 litres, it sits at the larger end of the self-contained walk-in freezer category and is intended for sites where a reach-in or undercounter freezer simply would not handle the volume of stock being held. The olive green external finish is a factory option rather than a cosmetic afterthought — galvanised steel, aluminium and plastic construction is chosen for durability in demanding kitchen environments.

Being fully integral means the refrigeration system is built into the unit itself, with no requirement for remote condensers or external ducting. This simplifies installation considerably and removes the need to plan separate plant room space. The system uses R449A refrigerant and is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it viable in kitchen environments that run warm — a common issue in summer service periods or kitchens with limited ventilation. The 80mm insulated wall panels contribute to thermal stability, and the rebated lockable door closes flush against the panels to maintain a reliable cold seal and provide basic security for stored stock.

In practical terms, this unit suits operations with significant frozen stock-holding requirements — regular large deliveries, high-volume prep operations, or sites that cannot rely on frequent short-cycle deliveries. Typical users include pub kitchens, school catering facilities, hotel back-of-house operations, and contract caterers who need consistent frozen storage without the footprint or complexity of a multi-unit arrangement.

There are practical considerations worth understanding before ordering. At 435kg, this unit requires a floor that can take the load — ground floors with solid concrete sub-bases are generally suitable, but upper-floor or mezzanine installations need structural assessment beforehand. The footprint of 1800mm wide by 2100mm deep needs to be measured carefully against your available space, including access routes for delivery. If the unit is to be installed externally or in an exposed position, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately and should be factored in. Racking and shelving are not included and should be specified alongside the order. This product is special-to-order and non-returnable, so it is important to be certain of the specification before confirming.

If your storage requirement is smaller, a more compact walk-in option may be more appropriate. For sites with significantly higher throughput or more frequent access, a larger or higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.
