HR150 Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster HR150 is a single-door undercounter refrigerator designed to sit beneath standard preparation benches in commercial kitchens. At 150 litres, it provides a practical volume of chilled storage within a compact footprint — a sensible choice where floor area and bench space are both at a premium.
The front-breathing refrigeration system is one of the more operationally useful aspects of this unit. With both air intake and exhaust operating from the front face, the HR150 can be installed flush within an enclosed undercounter cabinetry run without requiring rear or side clearance. This makes it a practical fit for fitted kitchen layouts where rear-venting units would create airflow problems, or where access behind and beside the unit simply isn't available.
For day-to-day reliability, the HR150 is rated to climate class 4, meaning it maintains stable performance in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — broadly representative of the conditions found in a working commercial kitchen. The stainless steel exterior handles regular cleaning and the general physical demands of a busy kitchen environment without issue.
- Front-breathing ventilation allows installation in enclosed undercounter runs
- Climate class 4 rating ensures reliable performance in warm kitchen conditions
- Stainless steel construction is robust and straightforward to maintain
- Roller castors and levelling bolts allow repositioning and cleaning access beneath the unit
- Compact capacity delivers useful chilled storage without occupying significant floor space
This unit is well suited to smaller operations, supplementary prep areas, or service points where additional undercounter chilled storage is needed. For sites with greater throughput or storage demands, a larger undercounter or full-height cabinet is likely the more appropriate choice.
If you're working out how the HR150 fits into your bench layout or weighing it against other options, we're happy to talk it through before you commit.

HR150 Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the front-breathing refrigeration system draws air in and exhausts it entirely from the front face of the unit, so no rear or side clearance is required. This makes it suitable for fully enclosed bench runs where rear-venting units would be impractical or create ventilation problems.
- For most operations, 150 litres works best as supplementary or point-of-use storage rather than primary refrigeration — for example, holding prepared garnishes, dairy, or ingredients needed at a specific station. If you need the unit to carry a larger portion of your day's chilled stock, a higher-capacity undercounter or full-height cabinet is likely worth considering.
- The HR150 is a standard plug-in unit running on a single-phase supply, so no specialist electrical installation is typically required. That said, it's worth confirming your available socket positions relative to the intended bench location before installation, particularly in a fitted run where access to sockets may be limited.
