Three and Four Door Counter Fridges

The Tefcold CK7410X1SP is a four-door refrigerated preparation counter offering 616 litres of chilled storage positioned directly at the point of work. The interior is fitted with GN1/1-compatible shelving throughout, allowing standard gastronorm containers to sit in place without decanting during service. It is intended for kitchens where refrigerated ingredients need to be held, accessed repeatedly, and rotated quickly along the preparation line.

Counter refrigeration in a working kitchen is tested hardest by the frequency of door openings during a busy service. The CK7410X1SP uses a ventilated cooling system to distribute cold air evenly across the cabinet, which supports consistent temperature recovery between openings. Automatic defrost removes the need for manual intervention, keeping the unit running reliably without drawing on staff time during service periods when consistency matters most.

In day-to-day operation, several design features translate directly into practical advantages:

• GN1/1-compatible shelving keeps prep workflow moving without the need to transfer between containers
• NFC and Bluetooth connectivity allow app-based temperature monitoring and straightforward HACCP data export
• Electronic controller provides clear, accessible temperature adjustment without specialist knowledge
• Adjustable feet allow the unit to sit level against adjacent counters and accommodate minor floor irregularities
• Stainless steel construction throughout stands up to the cleaning routines expected in professional kitchen environments

The unit is self-contained and requires a standard electrical connection. Adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and sides is important — positioning the unit hard against a wall without accounting for airflow is a common oversight with a cabinet of this footprint, and it will affect performance over time. The counter depth suits integration into a continuous preparation run beneath a pass or along a main prep section. It is worth confirming floor loading capacity before installation, particularly when the unit will be fully loaded with product.

This counter is well suited to mid-to-large operations: hotel kitchens, busy restaurant kitchens, and contract catering sites where a meaningful volume of refrigerated ingredients must be held at the line throughout service. Kitchens with lower throughput or limited space may find a two-door counter a more practical choice, while very high-volume sites running multiple prep sections simultaneously should consider whether a more substantial configuration would serve them better across the whole operation.

If you are specifying counter refrigeration for a new layout or replacing existing prep fridges, we are happy to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume and workflow before you commit.

The Atosa EPF3432HD is a three door refrigerated preparation counter designed to sit directly on the prep line, combining accessible cold storage with a usable stainless steel worktop. The three separate door sections give kitchen teams straightforward access to ingredients that need to stay within arm's reach throughout service, reducing unnecessary movement between cold storage and the working area.

Where this unit earns its place over standard prep counter fridges is in its rating for high-ambient environments — conditions that reflect the reality of a busy commercial kitchen rather than a controlled test setting. The side-mounted motor is a considered design choice for this environment, avoiding the heat-build problems that can affect rear-mounted units when positioned on a working line. Ventilated cooling supports consistent temperature distribution across all three sections, and self-closing doors help the unit maintain stable conditions during fast-paced service when doors are opened repeatedly.

In day-to-day use, several practical details reduce the operational burden on kitchen teams:

• Radius interior corners reduce cleaning time at the end of service
• Recessed door handles keep the unit manageable in tighter prep areas
• Door-linked lighting and evaporator fans help reduce energy draw during quieter periods
• A digital controller gives kitchen teams a clear, straightforward temperature read
• Fitted castors allow the unit to be moved for cleaning behind and beneath

Installation is straightforward — this is a freestanding unit requiring a standard electrical connection. Before positioning, it is worth confirming that all three doors have adequate swing clearance in your layout, particularly in compact kitchens. The stainless steel interior and exterior hold up well to routine hygiene inspections. One consideration worth noting: the rear panel is galvanised rather than stainless, which may be relevant in particularly high-moisture environments.

The EPF3432HD is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and contract catering operations running a single prep station through a long service. For very high-volume sites with multiple simultaneous prep stations, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity unit would better match the throughput required.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout and service pattern before committing, the team is happy to help.

The Atosa YPF9042GR is a three-door refrigerated preparation counter combining chilled storage with a stainless steel work surface at the point of use. With 470 litres of capacity across three compartments, it provides a meaningful volume of accessible refrigerated storage without the footprint or infrastructure demands of a walk-in or tall upright cabinet.

In working kitchen conditions the unit holds up well under the rhythm of continuous service. The ventilated cooling system maintains consistent temperatures despite the regular door openings that are unavoidable during a busy larder pass. The side-mounted motor is rated for high-ambient conditions, which matters in kitchens where surrounding cooking equipment raises the background temperature — a factor that is easy to overlook during specification and often causes reliability issues further down the line.

Several design details support practical day-to-day operation:

• Stainless steel interior and exterior construction withstands heavy daily use
• Radius interior corners make cleaning quicker and more thorough
• Self-closing doors help protect cabinet temperature during busy service
• Recessed handles reduce snagging risk in tighter prep areas
• Digital temperature display allows staff to monitor conditions at a glance
• Fitted castors as standard aid repositioning and access for cleaning beneath

The unit runs on a standard electrical supply. Because the motor is side-mounted rather than rear-mounted, the ventilation clearance requirements are different from many comparable models, so available space at the sides should be confirmed before positioning. As with any under-counter refrigeration, ambient kitchen temperature is worth assessing — particularly in summer months or kitchens with limited extraction — to ensure conditions remain within the rated operating range.

This counter is well suited to medium-volume operations running a structured larder section, as well as pizzerias, sandwich bars, and prep-heavy kitchens where a single-door unit would create a bottleneck during service. Sites with very high-volume, constant-access demands across a larger brigade may find a heavier-specified model serves them better.

If you are matching this counter against your layout, service volume, or kitchen ambient conditions, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Sterling Pro SPU303 is a three-door refrigerated counter unit built to sit within a commercial kitchen prep line. It provides a substantial chilled storage volume beneath a full-length stainless steel worktop, keeping fresh ingredients cold and close to hand throughout service — removing the need to break off and visit a remote cold room at the wrong moment. The three-door layout allows different ingredient categories or sections to be separated, so opening one door does not expose the entire contents to ambient kitchen temperatures.

During a busy service, this type of unit earns its place quickly. Chefs can reach portioned ingredients without leaving the section, and the worktop above remains available for active prep. Stainless steel construction throughout handles regular sanitiser wash-downs without deterioration, resists surface damage from everyday kitchen use, and satisfies the hygiene standards expected during a food safety inspection. The undermount format integrates cleanly into an existing counter run rather than interrupting the workflow of the line.

Key operational advantages include:

• Three separate door sections for organising ingredients by station or category
• Full-length stainless steel prep surface above for active use during service
• Catering-grade construction suited to sustained daily commercial kitchen use
• Environmentally responsible refrigerant supporting lower running costs
• Compact undermount format that fits neatly into an established counter run

Before installation, confirm there is adequate clearance at the rear and sides for condenser ventilation — restricted airflow will reduce efficiency and shorten the working life of the unit. A suitable electrical supply needs to be in place, and anyone specifying this unit into a new build should ensure services are positioned before counters are fixed in. Access routes and floor loading are worth checking if the unit needs to reach a basement kitchen or a site with restricted delivery access.

This counter is well suited to restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and similar mid-sized operations where prep-line refrigeration needs to be practical and space-efficient. Sites running very high covers, multiple concurrent prep sections, or extended service periods may find a higher-capacity unit a more appropriate long-term choice.

If you would like to talk through whether this counter suits your kitchen layout and service volume, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

The Polar U-Series four door counter fridge is a undercounter refrigeration unit designed to sit beneath a prep surface in a busy commercial kitchen. At 553 litres of chilled storage across four sections, it provides substantial holding capacity while the integrated upstand keeps the working surface tidy and contained. The forced air cooling system maintains even temperatures throughout the cabinet, which is particularly important when multiple doors are being opened and closed regularly during service.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of counter fridge is well suited to sites where prep staff need frequent access to chilled ingredients without stepping away from the pass. The forced air system supports rapid temperature recovery after door opening, helping to keep contents consistently within safe holding temperatures even during peak periods. Self-closing doors help where staff may not always close them fully under pressure, and the automatic defrost function reduces the routine maintenance burden on kitchen teams.

From an operational standpoint, several aspects of the design translate into practical day-to-day advantages:

• Full 1/1 GN compatibility allows trays to move directly between this unit, combi ovens, and blast chillers without decanting
• Adjustable shelving and floor protector shelves accommodate varied tray sizes and maximise usable internal space
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports efficient cleaning between shifts
• Digital temperature controls give kitchen managers a reliable, visible read on holding conditions
• An A-grade energy rating and 60mm insulation help contain running costs over the long term

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it runs on a standard electrical supply and does not require gas or water connections. It is rated for Climate Class 5, meaning it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, and has been tested for reliable performance across a wider range from 10°C to 43°C, making it suitable for kitchens where ambient temperatures can climb during service. The castors allow the unit to be repositioned or pulled out for cleaning beneath and behind, which is worth accounting for in the layout. Ensure there is adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation.

This unit is well suited to mid-sized commercial kitchens — pub kitchens, restaurant prep areas, hotel banqueting operations, and contract catering sites where a combination of volume storage and immediate prep access is needed. For very high-throughput operations with extensive cold storage demands, a larger undercounter configuration or an additional upright refrigeration unit may be worth considering alongside it.

If you are working out the right combination of refrigeration for a new kitchen fit-out or a refresh of existing equipment, the team is happy to talk through what will suit your workflow — feel free to get in touch before you commit.

The Polar U-Series triple door slimline counter fridge is a refrigerated undercounter unit designed to provide ingredient storage directly at the point of preparation. With three separate door compartments across a wide but shallow footprint, it allows chilled stock to remain accessible throughout service without operators moving away from the prep line. The stainless steel worktop extends the usable surface above the unit, which is a practical consideration in kitchens where bench space is at a premium.

In a busy service environment, consistent temperature holding is essential. This unit operates across a range that covers fresh produce, dairy, and prepared ingredients, and the self-closing doors help maintain internal temperature even during periods of frequent access. Automatic defrost reduces manual intervention and supports stable day-to-day performance without interrupting service.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Three adjustable shelves allow flexible storage configuration to suit different ingredient types and container sizes
• Lockable castors allow the unit to be repositioned and secured in place without specialist tools
• Digital controls with a continuous display make temperature monitoring straightforward for kitchen staff
• Stainless steel interior and exterior surfaces support quick cleaning to food hygiene standards
• Lockable doors help protect stock security during quieter periods or overnight

At 600mm deep, this unit fits within a standard counter run, but the width of just under 1800mm means it will occupy a significant section of a kitchen wall. It is important to confirm available run length before ordering, and to allow adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation. The R600a refrigerant and B energy rating reflect reasonably efficient operation for a unit of this size. Climate class 5 means it is rated for use in warmer ambient environments, which is relevant in kitchens without air conditioning.

This unit is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, and prep kitchens where multiple ingredient types need to be stored close to the preparation area and floor space is limited. For higher-volume operations requiring greater storage capacity or separate temperature zones, a larger or multi-deck alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the footprint works within your existing counter layout, or want to discuss how this unit fits into a broader refrigeration setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Polar U-Series triple door counter fridge is a high-capacity undercounter refrigeration unit built for kitchens that need dependable, accessible cold storage at the point of use. With a usable capacity of 417 litres across three sections, it provides substantial ingredient storage directly at the prep line, helping to keep service flowing without repeated trips to a walk-in or upright cabinet.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent temperature maintenance is critical. This unit uses forced air cooling, which recovers quickly after door openings — an important characteristic in high-traffic sections where the fridge is accessed repeatedly during service. The climate class 5 rating means it is suited to warmer kitchen environments, including those without full mechanical ventilation, and it maintains its operating range reliably under those conditions.

From an operational standpoint, the U-Series offers several practical advantages:

• 1/1 GN compatibility allows trays to transfer directly between this fridge and combi ovens, blast chillers, or freezers without decanting
• Self-closing doors reduce the risk of temperature drift during busy service periods
• Six adjustable shelves support flexible ingredient layout across all three compartments
• Built-in castors make the unit straightforward to move for cleaning behind and beneath
• A-rated energy performance reduces running costs compared to older or lower-rated units of similar capacity

Installation is straightforward for most commercial kitchens — the unit runs on a standard electrical supply and does not require specialist gas or water connections. At 134kg, it will need more than one person to position safely, and the footprint is substantial, so confirming available run of worktop and adequate ventilation clearance around the unit is worthwhile before ordering.

This model is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations: busy pub kitchens, restaurant prep sections, hotel banqueting kitchens, and similar environments where multiple staff need simultaneous access to refrigerated ingredients. For smaller operations with lower throughput, a single or double door counter fridge may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume sites requiring greater capacity or more intensive duty cycles, it is worth discussing whether a larger format unit would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Polar U-Series triple door counter fridge is a refrigerated prep counter designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable chilled storage directly within the prep line. With 417 litres of usable capacity spread across three separate door compartments, it provides organised, accessible chilled storage at point of use, with a wide stainless steel upstand counter surface running the full width of the unit.

In busy kitchen environments, a counter fridge is only as useful as its ability to hold temperature under repeated access. The U-Series uses fan-assisted forced air cooling throughout the cabinet, which supports consistent temperature recovery even when doors are opened frequently during a long service. The unit carries a climate class 5 rating, meaning it is engineered to operate reliably in ambient conditions up to 43°C — a practical consideration for kitchens running hot pass areas or working in poorly ventilated spaces. The operating range of -2°C to 8°C covers dairy, prepared ingredients, and general fresh produce storage.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

• Ingredients kept at prep level, reducing unnecessary cold store trips during service
• Three separate door sections allow zoned storage without exposing the full cabinet to warm air on each opening
• The rear upstand reduces debris falling behind the unit, making end-of-service cleaning more straightforward
• Energy Class A rating keeps running costs in check over the unit's working life
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports a robust cleaning regime

At 1795mm wide and 139kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment that will require adequate floor space and a level, load-bearing surface. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and uses R600a refrigerant, which has a low global warming potential. No water connection or specialist ventilation is required, but clearance around the unit for airflow should be factored into the installation plan. GN-compatible internal storage means it will integrate with standard gastronorm trays used across most professional kitchens.

This unit is well suited to mid-to-high volume kitchens — restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and pub kitchens where multiple sections are working simultaneously and prep space is in constant use. It is particularly practical where a single large cold store is too far from the pass for efficient service. For smaller operations with lighter throughput, a single or double door counter unit may be a more proportionate fit, while very high-volume sites with greater storage demands may benefit from a larger format cabinet.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your prep layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit.

The Polar U-Series four-door slimline counter fridge is a ventilated refrigeration unit built for use directly on the service or prep line. It provides chilled ingredient storage beneath a stainless steel worktop, with four doors offering separate access zones to help minimise temperature disruption during busy service. With a 511-litre net capacity across 2/1 GN double configuration, it is intended for kitchens that need substantial refrigerated storage without committing to a full upright cabinet.

In a working kitchen environment, the ventilated cooling system supports consistent temperature recovery after repeated door openings — a practical necessity where chefs are accessing ingredients continuously through service. The unit is rated for ambient operating conditions up to 43°C (climate class 5), which makes it a realistic option for warmer kitchen environments where lesser units can struggle to maintain safe temperatures. The operating range of -2°C to 8°C covers dairy, prepared ingredients, and general chilled storage.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Four separate door sections reduce whole-cabinet temperature loss during access
• Stainless steel construction throughout — robust, straightforward to clean, and well suited to heavy daily use
• Digital temperature display allows quick visual checks without opening the unit
• Built-in castors make repositioning and undercounter cleaning manageable without heavy lifting
• Energy rating of B reflects a meaningful step forward in running efficiency for a unit of this size

At 2230mm wide and 600mm deep, this unit requires a clear run of worktop space and solid, level flooring capable of taking 143kg. The castors are practical for minor repositioning, but this is not a unit that moves frequently once placed. It runs on R600a refrigerant and does not require a dedicated water connection or drainage in normal operation. Ventilation clearance should be confirmed prior to installation — the unit draws and exhausts air, and boxing it in will affect performance.

This counter fridge is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens — restaurants, hotel operations, contract catering sites, and busy café kitchens where prep-line refrigeration is heavily used through service. For smaller operations where worktop space is limited, a two-door alternative may be more practical. For very high-volume sites with more demanding storage requirements, it is worth discussing whether a larger upright solution would serve better alongside or instead of a counter unit.

If you are not certain whether this unit matches your prep-line layout or service volumes, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.

The Polar U-Series three door counter fridge is a ventilated refrigeration unit designed for continuous use in professional kitchen environments. Running between 2°C and 8°C, it holds 400 litres of chilled storage across a low-profile counter-height footprint, making it a practical choice where under-counter space is at a premium and worktop access matters.

The forced air cooling system is the key to its reliability under pressure. By circulating cold air evenly throughout the cabinet, it maintains consistent temperatures across all shelves even when doors are opened frequently during a busy service. The unit is rated to a climate class 4, meaning it can operate in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 40°C — a meaningful consideration for sites where kitchen heat builds significantly during peak periods.

From an operational standpoint, the U-Series is straightforward to work with day to day:

• Full size 1/1 GN trays slide straight in without additional runners, which keeps prep workflow clean and reduces handling time.
• The stainless steel worktop adds useful additional prep or pass-through surface above the unit.
• Castors allow the unit to be moved for cleaning underneath and around the base — a practical hygiene consideration in busy kitchens.
• An A energy rating helps keep running costs in check for a unit that will typically run continuously.

At 130kg, this is a substantial unit and will need two people for positioning. The 1368mm width requires adequate run of counter space, and ventilation clearances should be observed to maintain cooling performance. The R600a refrigerant has a low global warming potential, which is worth noting for operators with sustainability reporting requirements.

This counter fridge suits mid-sized operations — gastro pubs, hotel kitchens, restaurant prep areas — where a reliable, energy-efficient chilled storage unit is needed directly within the working line. For smaller kitchens with tighter footprints, a single or double door variant may be more appropriate, whilst higher-volume sites with significant chilled storage demands may benefit from an upright cabinet or a heavier-duty counter model.

If you're weighing up whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Polar U-Series three-door counter fridge/freezer is a dual-temperature undercounter unit designed to provide both refrigeration and freezer storage within a single, worktop-height cabinet. A practical feature of this unit is the switchable right-hand compartment, which can be set to operate as either a fridge or a freezer depending on your service requirements — a useful degree of flexibility for kitchens where storage priorities shift across the week or between services.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent temperature performance matters as much as raw capacity. Forced-air circulation distributes cold air evenly throughout each compartment, which helps maintain safe storage temperatures even when the doors are opened frequently during service. The auto-defrost function keeps the unit running efficiently without manual intervention, and 60mm insulation throughout the cabinet walls contributes to lower running costs over time. The unit carries an energy rating of C and uses R600a/R290 refrigerant, placing it within current environmental standards for commercial refrigeration.

From an operational standpoint, the design suits kitchens that need to keep a range of ingredients close to the pass without dedicating separate upright units to refrigeration and freezing. Practical advantages include:

• Switchable right-hand section allowing fridge or freezer use as required
• Self-closing doors that help maintain temperature and reduce energy loss during busy periods
• Stainless steel interior and exterior, straightforward to clean and resistant to daily wear
• Digital controller for simple temperature management without specialist knowledge
• Lockable castors allowing the unit to be repositioned for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — a standard single-phase supply is required, and the counter-height profile means it fits beneath most standard worksurfaces. At 153.5kg, it is a substantial piece of equipment, so consider floor loading and access routes before delivery. The unit is climate class 5 rated, making it suitable for warmer kitchen environments where ambient temperatures can be a challenge for refrigeration performance.

This unit is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens — café kitchens, small restaurant operations, or food preparation areas where both fridge and freezer capacity are needed in a compact footprint. For larger sites with higher throughput or volume cold storage requirements, a larger-capacity undercounter or upright unit may be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether the capacity or temperature configuration suits your operation, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Polar U-Series three-door counter fridge is a full-size undercounter refrigeration unit designed for busy preparation and service environments. It operates across a temperature range that covers dairy, chilled prep, and general cold storage, and is built to run continuously through demanding shifts without compromising on temperature consistency.

In a working kitchen, consistent temperature recovery is what separates reliable refrigeration from problematic refrigeration. This unit uses forced air circulation to maintain even temperatures throughout the cabinet interior, which becomes particularly important when doors are opened frequently during service. The compressor placement is configured to minimise the distance cool air must travel, which supports steadier performance under repeated door openings. The A+ energy rating reflects genuine efficiency in day-to-day running — over the course of a year in a commercial setting, that matters to the bottom line.

From a practical standpoint, the unit offers several operational advantages worth noting:

• Full 1/1 gastronorm compatibility allows prep trays to transfer directly from storage to the line without decanting
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports straightforward cleaning and meets hygiene expectations in inspected environments
• Lockable doors help with stock control in multi-team or multi-shift kitchens
• Heavy-duty castors allow the unit to be repositioned for thorough cleaning underneath and behind
• R290 refrigerant carries a very low global warming potential, relevant where sustainability reporting is a consideration

At 160kg, installation will require careful planning for access and floor loading. The unit is climate class 5 rated, meaning it is designed to perform reliably in warmer ambient environments — a relevant consideration for kitchens without mechanical ventilation. No special electrical infrastructure is typically required, but confirming your existing supply is appropriate before delivery is advisable. The footprint suits most medium to large preparation counters, though smaller kitchens should verify the width carefully against their available run.

This model is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub operations, and catering businesses with consistent refrigeration demand across a working day. For very high-volume sites where a single unit would be under near-constant load, a larger or additional unit may be worth considering. Equally, if the volume is lighter, a single- or two-door alternative may represent a more proportionate investment.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or workload, the team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit.

The Polar U-Series three-door counter fridge is a forced-air refrigerated unit combining a substantial chilled storage capacity with a stainless steel preparation surface at counter height. The glass doors allow staff to see the contents at a glance without opening the unit, which is a practical advantage in any fast-paced service environment. The unit operates within the standard dairy chill range, making it appropriate for drinks, dairy, prepped ingredients, and similar perishables requiring consistent refrigeration throughout service.

In a working kitchen or bar, the value of this unit comes from how well it sustains temperature during busy periods. The forced-air cooling system distributes cold air evenly across the interior and supports reasonably quick temperature recovery after the doors have been opened repeatedly — an important factor during a busy lunch or evening service when access is frequent. The B energy rating indicates reasonable running efficiency for a unit of this size, and the R600a refrigerant is in keeping with current environmental standards.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Glass doors reduce door-open time and help staff locate stock quickly during service
• LED interior lighting keeps contents clearly visible without adding unnecessary heat
• Self-closing doors help maintain cabinet temperature if staff are moving quickly
• Removable door seals simplify cleaning and help maintain hygiene standards
• Automatic defrost reduces routine maintenance demands on kitchen staff
• Built-in castors allow the unit to be repositioned without heavy lifting

At 1795mm wide and 134kg, this is a sizeable piece of equipment and placement needs to be considered carefully. The unit requires a standard single-phase mains connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser to perform reliably — restricted airflow is one of the more common causes of cooling inefficiency in counter refrigeration. It is rated to climate class 4, meaning it is designed to operate in ambient kitchen temperatures up to around 43°C, which is relevant if the unit will be positioned close to cooking equipment. The castors are useful for installation and cleaning access, but the unit should be on a level, stable surface in its working position.

This model is well suited to cafés, bars, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations where a combination of chilled storage and prep surface is useful and bench space is at a premium. The glass door format makes it particularly practical behind a bar or in a front-of-house area where contents need to be identified quickly. For higher-volume operations with greater throughput requirements, it is worth discussing whether a larger-capacity model would be more appropriate for the workload.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your available space, service volume, or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Polar U-Series four door counter fridge is a large-capacity refrigerated prep counter designed to provide both ingredient storage and a working surface within the same footprint. With a usable capacity of 553 litres distributed across four separately accessed sections, it is built for kitchens where refrigerated storage needs to be close at hand throughout service without repeated trips to a back-of-house cold room.

In a busy service environment, consistent temperature maintenance is one of the most important things to ask of a counter fridge. The forced air cooling system in this unit recovers quickly after door openings, which matters when sections are being accessed repeatedly during a rush. The climate class 5 rating confirms it is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C — relevant for kitchens where summer temperatures or nearby cooking equipment can push the ambient heat well above comfortable levels. The temperature range of -2°C to 8°C covers chilled dairy, prepared ingredients, and most short-term protein storage requirements.

From an operational standpoint, several design decisions translate into day-to-day efficiency:

• Full 1/1 GN compatibility allows trays to move directly between this unit, blast chillers, and combi ovens without decanting
• Self-closing doors reduce the risk of accidental temperature loss during busy service
• Adjustable shelving accommodates varying container heights across different sections
• Castors allow the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning underneath and behind
• A-rated energy classification helps keep running costs manageable relative to output

At 2230mm wide and 153kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment. It will require adequate floor space and a clear route into the kitchen during installation. The stainless steel construction and castors assist with cleaning access, but the footprint needs to be planned carefully alongside other counter runs. Power requirements should be confirmed against your existing electrical supply before ordering.

This counter fridge suits mid-to-large kitchens — restaurants, hotel operations, contract catering sites, or any environment where a high volume of chilled ingredients needs to be staged close to the cooking line. For smaller operations or kitchens with limited run space, a two- or three-door variant may be more appropriate. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands or the need for separate temperature zones, it is worth considering whether a larger or more specialised refrigeration setup would serve better.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Polar G-Series triple door counter fridge is a under-counter refrigeration unit designed for busy commercial kitchens where both storage space and accessible worksurface are at a premium. Running at a dairy-safe temperature range and finished in painted steel with a black exterior, it combines practical refrigerated storage with an integrated stainless steel worktop — giving kitchen staff immediate access to chilled ingredients without leaving the prep area.

In a working kitchen environment, the fan-assisted cooling system is particularly relevant during high-throughput service periods. Frequent door openings across three separate compartments are a daily reality, and the forced-air circulation helps the unit recover temperature efficiently after each access rather than allowing prolonged thermal drift. Each of the three sections operates independently, which supports organised stock rotation and keeps different product categories separated without cross-contamination risk.

From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages worth considering:

• Fan-assisted cooling aids temperature recovery during repeated door openings at service
• Full 1/1 GN compatibility means standard gastronorm trays drop straight in without adapters
• Removable door seals allow thorough cleaning without specialist tools
• Digital temperature control supports consistent food safety monitoring
• Integrated worktop adds usable prep surface directly above chilled storage

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type, though at 130kg it will require appropriate handling on delivery. The black painted steel finish is well suited to customer-facing areas or open kitchen layouts where appearance matters, though it warrants slightly more careful daily wiping down compared to a standard stainless exterior. The unit is rated to climate class 4, making it suitable for kitchens that run warm — a common consideration in commercial environments.

This model suits small to medium operations: cafés, bistros, sandwich bars, hotel prep kitchens, and similar sites where counter space is limited but reliable chilled access throughout service is essential. For higher-volume operations needing greater storage capacity or more compartments, a larger-format unit may be worth considering alongside this one.

If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

The Hoshizaki Premier K 3 A5 DL DL DR C U is a three-section refrigerated counter designed for commercial prep and service environments. Built around a GN 1/1 worktop configuration, it combines a practical work surface with refrigerated storage directly underneath, keeping ingredients close to hand without requiring additional reach-in cabinets elsewhere in the kitchen. The unit runs on castors, allowing it to be repositioned for cleaning or reconfigured as kitchen workflows change.

In a working kitchen, this type of counter tends to prove its value during service. Chefs can work directly from the drawers and doors below rather than moving across the kitchen to a separate cold store, which reduces temperature abuse of perishable ingredients and keeps prep times tighter. The three-section layout means different ingredient categories can be separated — proteins, dairy, and prepared garnishes, for example — without mixing zones that can create cross-contamination risks. Hoshizaki's refrigeration systems are well regarded for temperature stability, which matters when a unit is being opened repeatedly across a busy lunch or dinner service.

• Three separate door sections keep ingredient zones clearly divided during service
• GN 1/1 worktop surface integrates prep space with cold storage
• Castor-mounted base simplifies repositioning and daily cleaning beneath the unit
• Consistent refrigeration performance helps protect perishables under frequent door openings
• Practical for reducing unnecessary movement across the kitchen during peak periods

From an installation standpoint, refrigerated counters of this type require a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation around the condenser. The unit needs clearance at the rear and ideally overhead to allow heat to dissipate — fitting it into a tightly enclosed alcove without airflow can affect performance and longevity. The castor height is included in the overall height figure, so check ceiling clearance and extraction hood positioning before ordering. Weight should be considered when planning floor loading for the intended position.

This counter is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where a structured prep line is important. It works best where the team benefits from having refrigerated storage integrated into the working surface rather than separated from it. For very high-volume operations running extended service periods across multiple sections, a larger or more heavy-duty configuration may be worth considering. Equally, smaller sites with limited floor space may find a two-door alternative a more proportionate fit.

If you'd like to talk through whether this counter suits your kitchen layout and service style, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Hoshizaki Premier K 3 A DL DL DR C U is a three-door refrigerated counter designed for front-of-prep and service-line use in commercial kitchens. With a 463-litre net internal capacity across three sections, it provides substantial chilled storage directly at the point of preparation, reducing unnecessary movement between cold storage and the pass.

Hoshizaki units are well regarded in professional kitchens for their stable temperature holding and reliable compressor performance. A counter of this size handles the demands of a busy service period comfortably — keeping ingredients at consistent temperature even when the doors are opened frequently during peak hours. The worktop surface adds useful prep space above, making it practical for kitchens where bench space is at a premium.

From an operational standpoint, the three-section layout allows for logical ingredient organisation and reduces cross-contamination risk by separating product types. Key practical advantages include:

• Consistent temperature recovery after repeated door openings during service
• Worktop surface extends usable prep area on the line
• Three independent sections support organised, HACCP-friendly storage
• Castors allow the unit to be repositioned or moved for cleaning
• Robust Hoshizaki build quality suited to daily commercial kitchen use

The unit is supplied on castors, which simplifies repositioning and makes cleaning beneath and around it more straightforward. As a counter-height refrigerated unit, it will need to be sited with access to the appropriate electrical supply and positioned to allow adequate ventilation around the condenser. Kitchens with restricted rear clearance should check ventilation requirements before installation.

This counter is well suited to mid- to high-volume kitchens — restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and similar environments where reliable, accessible refrigeration on the prep line is a priority. For smaller operations with less demanding throughput requirements, a single- or two-door counter may offer a more proportionate solution. For very high-volume sites or central production kitchens with greater cold storage demands, a larger undercounter or upright cabinet arrangement may be worth considering.

The Hoshizaki ACR-225DG-LLRR-RRC-C1 is a four-door refrigerated counter designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable chilled storage at the point of preparation. With four separate door sections across a single counter-height unit, it keeps ingredients accessible at the pass or prep station without requiring staff to move away from the service area.

Hoshizaki units are well regarded in professional kitchens for consistent temperature holding and robust build quality. A four-door configuration at counter level is particularly practical during busy service periods, as different sections can hold separate mise en place, reducing cross-contamination risk and keeping the workflow organised. The unit is suited to dairy, chilled garnishes, prepped proteins, and similar short-hold refrigerated ingredients.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this style of unit include:

• Under-counter positioning keeps chilled prep within arm's reach during service
• Four individual door sections reduce temperature loss from single large door openings
• Counter-height top surface provides additional usable workspace above the unit
• Hoshizaki refrigeration systems are known for reliable temperature recovery after frequent door use
• Construction suited to the demanding cleaning cycles typical in commercial kitchens

Installation requires a mains electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the unit — the exact requirements will depend on your kitchen layout and whether the unit is positioned in a run or as a standalone piece. The counter-height format makes it straightforward to integrate into an existing prep line, though it is worth confirming the available floor space and ventilation before ordering. Access for servicing the refrigeration components should also be considered at the planning stage.

This unit is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel prep areas, and catering operations where four independent chilled zones at counter level would support a structured service workflow. For higher-volume operations or larger prep teams, a heavier-duty or wider configuration may be more appropriate. Equally, smaller kitchens with limited space may find a two-door counter sufficient.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Hoshizaki ACR-180DG-LRR-RRC-C1 is a three-door refrigerated counter unit offering 457 litres of internal storage across three independently accessed sections. It sits at worktop height, providing chilled storage directly within the prep or service line without requiring staff to move away from their station. The counter-depth format makes it practical in kitchens where space is measured carefully and workflow continuity matters.

Hoshizaki equipment is well regarded in commercial kitchens for consistent temperature holding, and this unit is designed to maintain stable conditions through busy service periods. The three-door configuration allows different sections to be used for different produce categories, reducing cross-contamination risk and helping staff locate ingredients quickly under pressure. Counter refrigeration at this capacity is commonly used in mid-to-high volume restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where prep and service run in close proximity.

From a practical standpoint, the key operational advantages of this unit include:

• Three separate door sections keeping temperature loss to a minimum when one section is accessed
• Counter-height worktop surface usable as additional prep space
• Accessible cold storage positioned directly on the service or prep line
• Hoshizaki's refrigeration system, known for reliability under sustained daily use
• Design suited to dairy, prepared garnishes, and short-term ingredient holding

Installation requires a suitable power supply and adequate clearance for ventilation — this should be confirmed before the unit is positioned, particularly in enclosed counter runs. As with all refrigerated equipment, the ambient temperature of the kitchen will influence performance, so placement away from high-heat appliances such as ovens or grills is advisable where possible.

This unit suits kitchens with a consistent daily service volume that need reliable, accessible refrigeration at the line. For very high-throughput operations or sites requiring greater total capacity, it is worth considering whether a larger or additional unit would better meet demand. Equally, smaller operations may find a one- or two-door counter sufficient for their needs.

If you are unsure whether this configuration is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Polar U-Series Triple Door Patisserie Counter is a refrigerated counter unit designed specifically for patisserie, bakery, and pastry production environments. Running between 2°C and 8°C, it holds finished and part-prepared products at safe working temperatures while also providing a substantial stainless steel work surface across its full width. The three-door configuration allows simultaneous access across the counter without disrupting cold storage in adjacent sections.

In busy production kitchens, the ability to keep a high volume of trays chilled and immediately accessible makes a practical difference during service. Each door section accommodates up to seven 600 x 400mm patisserie trays, giving teams quick rotation of product without moving between units or leaving the counter area. Automatic defrost keeps the unit running consistently without manual intervention, and the constant digital display makes temperature monitoring straightforward during service checks.

Key operational advantages include:

• Patisserie tray compatibility (600 x 400mm) across all three sections
• Lockable castors for repositioning during kitchen deep cleans or layout changes
• Automatic defrost reduces daily maintenance demands
• Energy rating A helps manage running costs across extended operating hours
• Stainless steel construction supports hygiene compliance and withstands commercial use

At 152kg and over two metres wide, this unit requires adequate floor space and a clear route for delivery and installation. The castors assist with minor repositioning once installed, but initial placement should be planned carefully. It uses R600a refrigerant, which has a low global warming potential and is compatible with standard commercial refrigeration servicing. Climate class 5 means it is suitable for use in warmer kitchen environments where ambient temperatures can be elevated.

This counter is well suited to patisserie shops, hotel pastry sections, bakery production kitchens, and restaurant pastry operations where tray-compatible chilled storage and a clean working surface are both needed at the same station. Operations with a more modest volume of pastry production may find a single- or double-door unit a better match for their footprint and throughput. For sites requiring higher-capacity chilled storage beyond counter format, a separate upright refrigeration solution may be worth considering alongside.

If you are weighing up whether this unit fits your kitchen layout, workflow, or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Polar G-Series triple door counter fridge is a workhorse undercounter refrigeration unit designed for continuous use in professional kitchens. Across its three sections it provides substantial chilled storage at dairy temperatures, with a stainless steel exterior built to handle the rigours of a busy kitchen environment. The worktop surface adds practical value, giving operators usable prep space or a stable platform for compact countertop equipment.

In service, the G-Series performs reliably across extended operating periods. The unit is rated to a climate class 4, meaning it is designed to function correctly in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 32°C — a common environment in busy catering operations where heat from cooking equipment can affect less capable units. Self-closing doors help maintain stable internal temperatures during peak service, reducing the energy draw associated with doors left ajar, and the R600a refrigerant keeps running costs reasonable over the long term.

From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages:

• Three separate door sections allow staff to access specific areas without exposing the full cabinet to ambient air
• Digital controls make temperature monitoring straightforward and consistent
• Removable door seals simplify cleaning and help maintain hygiene standards
• Full 1/1 GN compatibility means it integrates directly with standard kitchen panning systems
• Durable stainless steel construction resists the knocks and cleaning chemicals typical of heavy daily use

Installation is straightforward for most kitchens. The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply and does not require specialist ventilation or a dedicated connection beyond a suitable power outlet. At 110kg it will need adequate help to position on site, and the footprint should be confirmed against your available run of counter space before ordering. It is worth considering access clearance for the doors on the left and right sections, particularly in tighter kitchens.

This unit is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, café kitchens, pub catering operations, and similar establishments needing reliable chilled storage at the point of use. It suits kitchens where undercounter refrigeration supports an active service line rather than acting as primary bulk storage. For very high-volume kitchens with greater daily throughput, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering. Equally, if your space or budget is more constrained, smaller two-door alternatives are available in the same range.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Polar G-Series three-door counter fridge is a refrigerated preparation counter designed to keep chilled ingredients within arm's reach of the section. It holds a consistent 2°C to 5°C, making it appropriate for dairy, prepped components, and any ingredient that needs to stay within safe temperature margins throughout a busy service. The granite worktop is a practical rather than cosmetic feature — it holds a naturally cool surface temperature, which makes it particularly useful for pastry work, dough handling, and cold prep tasks where surface temperature has a direct effect on the product.

The three-door layout allows different team members to access different sections simultaneously without exposing the full interior to ambient air, which helps maintain temperature stability during periods of heavy use. The unit is rated to climate class 4, meaning it operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — relevant in kitchens that run hot or have limited ventilation at prep level. The stainless steel construction throughout supports cleaning to commercial hygiene standards without difficulty.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Three independently accessed sections allow simultaneous multi-user access without cold loss across the whole unit
• Granite worktop provides a naturally cool prep surface, saving space elsewhere in the section
• Adjustable interior shelving accommodates different container sizes and GN configurations
• Digital temperature control allows straightforward monitoring and adjustment during service
• R600a refrigerant and a C energy rating keep running costs in line with expectations for a unit of this capacity

At 145kg, this unit should be positioned before final connection — access routes and floor loading are worth confirming at the planning stage. Standard single-phase power is required, and the rear of the unit needs adequate clearance for ventilation. The footprint is substantial, so measure the intended section carefully before ordering.

This counter is commonly used in restaurant kitchens, pizza and pasta sections, café kitchens, and anywhere that needs a high volume of chilled ingredients at the point of preparation. The granite top is especially practical in pizza and pastry operations. For very high-throughput sites or larger brigades working a single section, it is worth considering whether a greater-capacity counter or additional undercounter units would serve the operation better.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your section layout or service volume, the team is glad to help before you place an order.

The Sterling Pro SPCR300P is a three-door refrigerated counter unit providing 417 litres of chilled storage beneath a worktop-height surface. Built from catering-grade stainless steel throughout, it is designed to sit within a kitchen preparation line and keep ingredients at safe working temperatures close to the point of use. Forced-air circulation distributes cold air evenly across all three compartments, helping to maintain consistent temperatures even during periods of repeated door access.

In a busy service environment, having chilled storage at prep height reduces unnecessary movement to a remote upright or walk-in unit. The three independently accessible door sections mean staff can reach specific ingredients without exposing the full cabinet interior to warm air each time — a practical advantage during peak covers when speed and temperature control both matter.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, this unit offers a number of straightforward advantages:

• Worktop-height build integrates cleanly into a prep line or service pass
• Three separate door sections help reduce cross-contamination between ingredient categories
• Stainless steel interior and exterior withstands regular commercial cleaning
• Forced-air system aids temperature recovery after frequent door openings
• Compact counter footprint suits kitchens where floor space is limited

Installation is relatively straightforward on a standard single-phase electrical supply. No specialist ventilation is required beyond adequate clearance around the condenser for heat dissipation. It is worth checking that your floor loading is sufficient for the unit when fully stocked, and that the unit is positioned away from direct heat sources such as fryers or ovens — proximity to high-heat equipment increases compressor workload and can shorten service life over time.

This counter is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, café operations, sandwich bars, and pub kitchens where accessible chilled storage during service is a priority. For larger operations running high covers across an extended preparation run, a wider or higher-capacity counter configuration would be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service volume, our team is happy to help before you make a decision.

The Sterling Pro SPI-7-225-40-SB is a four-door refrigerated counter unit designed to sit within a commercial kitchen prep line at worktop height. Built in Europe and finished in stainless steel inside and out, it keeps chilled storage immediately accessible at the point of preparation. A 100mm splashback is included as standard to protect the rear wall — a practical detail where the unit is positioned against tiled or painted surfaces. The unit uses a hydrocarbon refrigerant, which carries a significantly lower global warming potential than older HFC gases, making it a sensible choice for operators mindful of environmental compliance or upcoming refrigerant regulation changes.

During service, the forced-air circulation system maintains a consistent temperature across all four sections even when doors are opened repeatedly under pressure. Self-closing doors reduce the risk of temperature drift caused by doors being left ajar — a common issue on high-traffic prep counters. The Carel controller provides reliable temperature management and straightforward day-to-day monitoring, and automatic defrost removes a routine task from the kitchen team's schedule.

The main operational advantages for a working kitchen include:

• Forced-air cooling maintains even temperatures across all sections during heavy use
• Self-closing doors help protect food safety standards throughout service
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant reduces environmental impact and future-proofs against phase-outs
• Castors fitted as standard for ease of cleaning behind the unit and repositioning
• Stainless steel interior with embossed rack supports for hygienic, stable storage

Installation is straightforward for a counter unit of this size. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and does not require a drainage connection under normal operation, though positioning near a floor drain is sensible practice. The castors make initial placement manageable, but this is a wide unit — it is worth confirming that your prep run has sufficient clear floor space for all four doors to open without obstruction. If your wall arrangement requires a taller upstand than the included 100mm splashback provides, that is worth checking before delivery.

This counter fridge is well suited to mid-to-high volume kitchens — hotels, pub kitchens, contract catering operations, and restaurants where prep refrigeration needs to sit within the workflow. Smaller operations or those with a lighter chilled storage requirement would likely find a two-door counter unit more proportionate. For very high-volume sites with intensive loading cycles, a heavier-duty specification may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your prep line layout or refrigeration capacity, our team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Sterling Pro SPI-6-250-40-NS is a four-door refrigerated counter built to a 600mm depth rather than the standard 700mm footprint. Constructed in stainless steel with ventilated refrigeration and fully automatic electronic controls, it operates as a self-contained undercounter unit suitable for dairy and general chilled ingredient storage in a commercial service environment. The reduced depth is the defining characteristic here — it exists specifically to answer the problem of kitchens where a standard-depth counter simply won't fit the available run.

The ventilated system distributes temperature evenly across all four sections, and the automatic defrost cycle keeps the unit running cleanly without requiring operator attention during service. In a busy kitchen, that matters — no one has time to manage ancillary equipment mid-service. The four-door configuration also plays a practical role: each door covers a smaller internal section, which limits warm air ingress when a section is opened frequently during a busy prep or pass routine.

• Four independently accessed sections reduce temperature loss during frequent use
• Automatic defrost and electronic controls minimise hands-on maintenance
• Stainless steel construction supports straightforward daily cleaning routines
• 600mm depth suits kitchens where standard-depth counters cannot be accommodated
• Ventilated refrigeration maintains even temperature across all sections during service

The 600mm depth does mean a reduced internal storage volume compared with a standard-depth counter of equivalent width. Operators running high ingredient turnover or larger prep volumes may find a full-depth unit a better match for their throughput requirements. This model is well suited to sites where space is the primary constraint and storage demands are moderate — smaller restaurants, café kitchens, and secondary prep stations being the most common applications.

If you're weighing up whether the storage capacity works for your service volumes alongside the space saving, the team are glad to help you think it through before you order.

The Sterling Pro SPI-6-200-30-NS is a stainless steel three-door refrigerated counter built to a 600mm depth rather than the 700mm depth standard across most commercial counter fridges. That single dimension makes a meaningful difference in kitchens where aisle widths, fixed benching, or overall floor area leave no room for a full-depth unit. It allows operators to place refrigerated storage at prep level without encroaching on circulation routes or reducing usable workspace alongside it.

In service, the unit performs comparably to a standard-depth ventilated counter. The ventilated refrigeration system maintains consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet during busy periods, and the automatic defrost cycle runs without any input from the kitchen team, reducing the risk of ice build-up affecting performance across a long shift. Electronic controls are uncomplicated to operate day to day, which matters in kitchens where staff turnover is high or training time is limited.

The three-door configuration is practical for organised storage — sections can be accessed independently, which limits temperature loss compared with opening a single wide door across the full width of the cabinet. From an operational standpoint, the compact footprint offers several advantages:

• Fits into narrower kitchen runs where a standard 700mm counter would not
• Delivers refrigerated storage at prep level, reducing movement during service
• Three-door layout limits cold air loss when accessing individual sections
• Automatic defrost removes a routine task from the kitchen team's workload
• Stainless steel construction is durable under daily use and straightforward to clean

Because this unit is shallower than a standard counter, internal storage depth and GN tray compatibility will differ from a full-depth model. If your operation relies on specific tray sizes, it is worth confirming compatibility before purchasing. As a ventilated unit, adequate clearance around the condenser is required for airflow — installation into a fully enclosed void without ventilation provision is not appropriate. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply, which suits most kitchen electrical layouts, though it is sensible to check your available circuit capacity before ordering.

This counter is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, café prep areas, sandwich bars, and hospitality operations where space is genuinely tight but refrigerated storage at counter height is needed during service. For higher-volume sites running larger prep teams or requiring deeper internal capacity, a full-depth counter or a wider configuration is likely to provide more practical working storage.

If you want to talk through whether the reduced depth suits your kitchen layout, or check that the internal capacity aligns with your service demands, the team is glad to work through it with you before you order.

The True TCR1/3 is a three-door undercounter refrigerator built to 1/1 Gastronorm standard dimensions. Designed to sit beneath a working prep surface, it provides 630 litres of chilled storage across three independently accessed compartments — offering meaningful refrigeration capacity within a counter-height footprint, without requiring a separate upright cabinet.

In a busy service environment, consistent temperature holding across a full shift is what matters most from an undercounter unit. True refrigeration equipment has a strong reputation in professional kitchens for maintaining stable internal conditions even during periods of frequent door opening. The three-door configuration is a practical advantage here — staff open only the section they need, which limits cold air loss and reduces the recovery demand on the refrigeration system during peak service periods.

From an operational standpoint, this unit works well as the backbone of a structured mise en place setup. Key practical advantages include:

• Front-breathing ventilation removes the need for side or rear clearance
• Three separate compartments reduce temperature fluctuation during service
• GN-compatible interior accommodates standard prep containers and inserts
• Stainless steel construction withstands daily cleaning and sustained heavy use
• Counter-height format doubles as a prep surface, consolidating workspace

Installation is straightforward by commercial refrigeration standards. The unit requires a standard mains electrical supply and adequate clearance at the front for ventilation. There is no water connection or drainage requirement under normal operation. It is worth confirming the floor is level before positioning — correct levelling affects both door seal performance and internal condensate drainage.

This unit is well suited to small and mid-sized commercial kitchens: restaurant prep lines, café kitchens, deli counters, and hotel satellite kitchens where refrigeration needs to be immediately accessible without occupying upright cabinet space. For higher-volume operations or sites where greater total capacity is needed, a larger-format model would be worth considering.

The Williams Jade HJC3-SA is a three door refrigerated counter providing 469 litres of chilled storage directly at the prep line. It is designed to keep ingredients accessible during service without requiring staff to leave the work area, and its counter-height build integrates into a standard prep run without disrupting workflow or worktop continuity.

Williams has a well-established reputation in demanding foodservice environments, and the Jade range is built to reflect that. The airflow system is engineered to hold consistent temperatures across all three compartments even when doors are opened repeatedly throughout a busy service. The CoolSmart controller with its IP55-rated display is suited to the moisture and cleaning exposure found in a working kitchen, and self-closing doors with magnetic balloon gaskets help maintain the seal reliably when staff are working quickly. In a kitchen running at volume, these are the kind of details that reduce temperature excursions and protect stock over time.

From an operational standpoint, the counter offers several practical advantages:

• Counter-height design keeps chilled ingredients within reach throughout service
• Consistent temperature distribution across all three sections reduces spoilage risk
• Low noise output suits open kitchen and front-of-house adjacent positions
• Barrel-locked doors support stock security in high-footfall kitchen environments
• A-rated energy performance on qualifying configurations helps manage long-term running costs

Before installation, ventilation clearance requirements should be confirmed — particularly in enclosed counter runs where airflow around the condensing unit may be restricted. Electrical supply suitability for your site should also be checked prior to ordering. The unit's footprint works well in medium to large prep areas, but kitchens with a constrained floor run should measure carefully before committing.

The HJC3-SA is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering kitchens where a reliable, high-capacity refrigerated prep counter is needed at the pass or on the main prep line. For very high-volume operations with more intensive duty cycles or greater storage requirements, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty configuration would be a better match.

If you would like to talk through how this counter fits your kitchen layout and service demands, the team is happy to work through the detail with you.

The Williams Jade HJC4-SA is a four-door refrigerated counter providing 622 litres of usable cold storage beneath a working surface. It is designed to sit on the kitchen pass or prep line, keeping ingredients at correct holding temperatures while remaining directly accessible during service. The unit is built around Williams' CoolSmart controller — a capacitive touch interface with an IP55-rated display — which gives operators straightforward temperature monitoring and adjustment without the need to open the cabinet.

In a busy kitchen, consistent temperature recovery is one of the most demanding tests for any refrigerated counter. Frequent door openings during service, warm ingredients loaded mid-shift, and high ambient temperatures can all pull a unit off its target range. The Jade range is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it a practical choice for kitchens where heat build-up around the counter is a known problem. The enhanced airflow system works to maintain even temperature distribution across the full cabinet, reducing the risk of warm spots or product temperature variation between shelves.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages of this unit include:

• Low noise output, worth considering in open kitchen and counter-service environments
• Anti-condensation door heaters as standard, reducing surface moisture in humid conditions
• Raised pan holders or cut-out wells available on temperature-specific models, supporting direct GN pan working
• Polyurethane insulation contributing to strong thermal retention between compressor cycles
• A-rated energy efficiency on 'H' door models, helping manage running costs over the unit's lifespan

Installation requires consideration of both the electrical supply and ventilation clearance around the unit. Restricted airflow to the condenser is one of the most common causes of premature compressor strain, so confirming adequate clearance is essential. The unit's footprint is substantial — confirming the available counter run, including adjacent equipment and service access routes, is important before ordering. High-ambient kitchens with limited ventilation are worth discussing in advance of specifying.

This counter is well suited to mid-to-high-volume operations such as hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, large restaurant kitchens, and production environments requiring a long run of refrigerated prep space. For smaller operations with lower storage demand, a two- or three-door counter is likely a better fit. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume sites with intensive daily throughput may benefit from reviewing whether a heavier-duty configuration would hold up better over time.

If you are weighing up whether the Jade HJC4-SA suits your kitchen layout, service pattern, or ambient conditions, the team is glad to talk it through before you make a decision.
