Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2H Two Door Refrigerated Counter 280 Ltr

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2H is a two-door refrigerated counter designed for use on the prep line in commercial kitchens. It provides 280 litres of chilled storage directly at worktop level, keeping ingredients accessible during service without repeated trips to a remote cold room. The G3 sits within Foster's well-established EcoPro counter range, which has a strong track record in professional kitchens across a wide range of catering environments.

In practice, the G3 counter is well suited to sustained, high-frequency use. The ventilation system actively cools the compressor to reduce running time, which helps maintain consistent temperatures even during busy service periods and in warmer kitchen environments. The unit is rated to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it a practical choice for kitchens that run hot. The improved condenser design helps the unit sustain its energy efficiency over time rather than degrading as the condenser loads up — a common issue with counters that receive heavy daily use.

From an operational standpoint, the G3 offers a number of practical advantages worth noting:

• Compact footprint without a reduction in storage capacity, useful in tight kitchen layouts
• High-grade 304 stainless steel on doors and covers at the heaviest-use contact points
• Cyclopentane foam insulation to maintain thermal efficiency over the product's working life
• PureControl LED display for clear temperature monitoring with connectivity options available
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for cleaning without disconnecting

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type, but it is worth confirming you have an appropriate mains supply, adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow, and a level, hard floor surface capable of supporting the loaded weight. If you are planning to position this unit beneath an existing counter run, check the height clearance and any overhang before ordering. The unit operates on a standard electrical supply, but your installer should confirm the exact requirements at the time of fitting.

The EP1/2H is well suited to cafés, restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites where reliable under-counter refrigeration is needed on a working prep line. It is a practical choice for medium-volume operations. For sites with significantly higher throughput or larger prep teams, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity counter or a multi-section configuration would better serve your operation. Equally, smaller or lower-volume kitchens may not need this level of capacity.

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