Polar G-Series Refrigerated Counter Fridge 9 Drawer 368Ltr

The Polar G-Series nine-drawer refrigerated counter is a under-counter refrigeration unit designed to keep chilled ingredients immediately accessible at the point of preparation. Each drawer accepts a full-size 1/1 GN pan, giving kitchen teams direct access to portioned or prepped ingredients without leaving the station. The worktop surface above can be used as additional prep space, making this a practical dual-purpose piece of equipment in kitchens where bench space is at a premium.

In a busy service environment, the real advantage of a drawer-format unit is speed and organisation. Lids stay off, pans pull straight out, and ingredients are separated by drawer — reducing cross-contamination risk without relying solely on team discipline. The unit is climate class 4 rated, meaning it will maintain its operating temperature range reliably in kitchen ambient conditions up to 32°C, which is a practical consideration for any busy kitchen running multiple heat sources during service.

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

• Nine individual drawers allow clear separation of raw, ready-to-eat, and allergen-sensitive ingredients
• GN-compatible storage means pans move directly from fridge to cook line without decanting
• Digital temperature display gives a constant read-out for food safety monitoring and compliance records
• Stainless steel interior and exterior simplifies daily cleaning and resists the wear of a working kitchen
• Worktop surface adds usable prep area without requiring additional bench space

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it requires a standard single-phase electrical connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation. At 140kg, positioning should be planned before delivery; the unit will need a level, solid floor. The 1365mm width suits most continental prep lines but is worth measuring against your run before ordering. This is not a unit suited to ambient temperatures consistently above 32°C, so plant room or poorly ventilated back-of-house positions should be considered carefully.

This counter is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, gastro pubs, and contract catering operations running a structured prep operation where mise en place discipline matters. It works particularly well at a meat or fish station, or as a dedicated allergen-control unit. For smaller operations with lighter throughput, a fewer-drawer configuration may be more appropriate. For high-volume sites running extended service periods with frequent drawer access, it is worth discussing whether a higher-specification unit would better suit the demand.
