Polar G-Series Upright Back Bar Cooler with Hinged Doors 490Ltr

The Polar G-Series upright back bar cooler is a double-door refrigerated display unit designed to keep bottled drinks and cans at a consistent serving temperature while keeping them visible and accessible to staff. With a 490-litre capacity across two hinged sections, it sits comfortably behind a bar counter and is sized to hold meaningful stock for a busy service without requiring constant restocking runs.

In a working bar environment, consistent temperature recovery matters. The G-Series is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, which makes it suitable for venues where the bar area warms up during a busy evening. The double-glazed doors help maintain cabinet temperature when staff are accessing stock frequently, and the unit holds its operating range reliably through peak service periods. LED lighting keeps the display clear and attractive without generating excessive heat inside the cabinet.

From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages for bar and hospitality teams:

• Lockable hinged doors allow the unit to be secured during closed hours or unattended periods
• Adjustable shelving across the interior allows flexible configuration for different bottle sizes and can formats
• Rear-mounted rollers make repositioning and cleaning behind the unit straightforward
• LED interior lighting provides good product visibility without contributing to internal heat build-up
• R600a refrigerant supports efficient running costs relative to older refrigerant types

This is a freestanding unit that requires a standard mains electrical connection. At 125kg, it will need adequate flooring support and sufficient clearance at the rear for ventilation. The footprint is relatively narrow in depth at just over 500mm, which suits back bar installations where space behind the counter is limited. It is not designed for recessed or built-in fitting, so factor in access around the unit when planning placement.

The G-Series 490Ltr is well suited to pubs, bars, hotel bars, and similar licensed premises where chilled drinks need to be visually merchandised and quickly accessible during service. It works particularly well in venues that want a presentable back bar display without investing in a larger multi-section unit. For higher-volume sites serving very large covers or operating extended trading hours, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.
