Foster

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700H is a single-door upright refrigerator offering 600 litres of usable chilled storage. It sits within Foster's EcoPro G3 cabinet range — a line built with energy efficiency and long-term operational reliability as core engineering priorities rather than afterthoughts. Full stainless steel construction meets the hygiene and robustness standards expected in a working professional kitchen.

Consistent temperature retention under the variable conditions of a busy service is what separates a dependable refrigerator from a source of risk. The G3 uses cyclopentane foam insulation to sustain thermal efficiency throughout the cabinet's working life, which reduces unnecessary compressor cycling during heavy service periods. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist the grease and dust accumulation that is common in commercial kitchens where airflow around equipment is rarely ideal — this helps maintain efficient running and reduces the likelihood of engineer call-outs to restore performance.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, this cabinet offers several practical advantages:

• A-rated energy performance helps keep electricity running costs down across the cabinet's working life
• PureControl LED controller provides a clear, accurate temperature readout with minimal power draw
• Improved Airlines ventilation reduces compressor running time when ambient kitchen temperatures rise
• 304 stainless steel on doors and contact surfaces holds up well at the points subject to the most daily wear
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without disconnecting from the socket

Installation is straightforward, but adequate clearance around the condenser is important — the ventilation system needs sufficient airflow to perform as designed. The cabinet is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, making it appropriate for kitchens where proximity to cooking equipment or seasonal heat raises background temperatures. It is worth confirming your available floor space and ventilation conditions before ordering, as positioning the unit in a poorly ventilated recess will limit performance regardless of specification.

This refrigerator suits mid-size operations well — restaurant back-of-house, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and contract catering sites where a dependable, energy-conscious upright cabinet is needed without the footprint of a multi-door unit. For high-volume sites with significant chilled goods throughput, a higher-capacity cabinet may be the more practical choice. Where floor space is the primary constraint, a counter or undercounter unit from the same G3 range may be worth considering.

If you are working through your refrigeration requirements and want to talk through which configuration best suits your kitchen's layout and service demands, the team is happy to help.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700M is a single door upright refrigerator built specifically for raw meat storage. Unlike a general-purpose chiller, it is configured to hold the lower temperature range required for raw protein, making it a practical choice where food safety compliance, HACCP controls, and the separation of raw meat from other produce are non-negotiable requirements.

In a working kitchen, a dedicated meat cabinet earns its place by removing the compromises that come with storing raw protein alongside other produce. Consistent temperature holding through a busy service — deliveries arriving, doors opening regularly, ambient kitchen heat — is where the EcoPro G3 range is designed to perform. Foster's Stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up over time, and the cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal efficiency well beyond installation day. The airlines ventilation system reduces compressor run time, which in a high-use environment translates to lower energy consumption and reduced wear across the unit's working life.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design details matter in practice:

• PureControl LED display with straightforward navigation and an optional connectivity gateway for remote monitoring
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers, durable under heavy kitchen use and easy to clean thoroughly
• Fully floating lock that resists breakage if a key is left in, avoiding a recurring maintenance call
• Helicoil mains lead allowing the unit to be moved for cleaning without disconnecting from the supply
• Rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, suited to warm or poorly ventilated kitchen spaces

Installation is straightforward for a freestanding upright of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, adequate clearance at the rear and top for ventilation, and a level floor. Position the unit away from direct heat sources — ovens, fryers, or heated pass equipment — where possible, to avoid placing unnecessary load on the refrigeration circuit. Check door swing clearance against your kitchen layout before finalising placement.

The EP700M is well suited to butchers, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and catering operations where a dedicated raw meat refrigerator is required to meet food hygiene regulations. The 600-litre capacity suits medium to high volume sites. For smaller operations with modest throughput, a compact undercounter or smaller upright may be more proportionate. For high-volume sites processing large quantities of raw protein daily, a larger capacity or multi-door configuration is worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your storage volumes, kitchen layout, or compliance requirements, the team is happy to help before you place an order.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700L is a single-door upright reach-in freezer with 600 litres of usable storage capacity. It sits at the larger end of the single-door category and is built for the kind of sustained, demanding use that a busy commercial kitchen places on its refrigeration — repeated door openings throughout service, warm product loads going in, and the elevated ambient temperatures that are common in active kitchen environments.

Foster's G3 range has earned a strong and consistent presence in professional kitchens across the UK, and the EP700L reflects that through its thermal performance. Cyclopentane foam insulation retains its efficiency over the unit's working life, and the cabinet is designed to recover holding temperature promptly after each door opening. The updated Airlines ventilation system supports effective compressor operation, which helps keep energy consumption in check across what is, for most sites, a unit running around the clock every day of the year.

Several design details translate into genuine operational value in a working kitchen:

• The +Stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up, helping to sustain efficiency and reduce maintenance callouts
• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature monitoring with a lower power draw than older controller types
• 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers holds up well at the highest-contact points of the cabinet
• Fully floating lock design prevents breakage if a key is left in the lock during a busy service period
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without straining or disconnecting the cable

Installation is relatively straightforward for a cabinet of this size, but there are practical points worth confirming before delivery. The unit is tall and heavy, so access routes through the building and floor loading should be checked in advance. Adequate clearance around the condenser is necessary for proper airflow — restricted ventilation will affect both performance and running costs. The cabinet is rated for ambient conditions that cover most UK commercial kitchen environments, though it is worth confirming that your kitchen has sufficient ventilation if heat build-up is a known issue on site.

The EP700L is well suited to mid-sized and larger operations — restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, and pub kitchens where reliable access to frozen stock throughout service is essential. Smaller operations with more modest storage requirements may find a lower-capacity model in the same range a better fit. Sites with very high stock turnover or a need for multi-door access should consider whether a larger-format cabinet would work more practically day to day.

If you would like to talk through whether the EP700L is the right unit for your site — capacity, installation requirements, or how it fits alongside your existing refrigeration — the team is happy to help you work through the details before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700HL is a full-height, two-door upright cabinet that provides both refrigerated and frozen storage within a single footprint. Each section operates on its own independent refrigeration circuit, with its own temperature controls, so the chiller and freezer compartments can be managed correctly without one influencing the other. For kitchens where floor space is genuinely constrained, it removes the need to accommodate two separate cabinets.

In busy service conditions the independent circuits are a practical advantage — peak demand in one zone does not pull performance from the other. The G3 generation is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which matters in warm or poorly ventilated kitchen environments where standard equipment can begin to struggle during service. Foster's +stayclear condenser is designed to resist the build-up of lint and grease between service intervals, helping the unit sustain efficiency without requiring constant attention.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet includes several features worth noting:

• Independent refrigeration circuits keep both temperature zones stable regardless of load
• Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat, reducing running time over long service periods
• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature readings and is connectivity-ready with a gateway addition
• 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers stands up to daily cleaning and heavy kitchen use
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation is straightforward for a self-contained upright of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — especially relevant in warmer kitchen spaces. Carrying two independent refrigeration systems and two door seals, both are worth including in any planned preventive maintenance schedule to keep performance consistent.

This cabinet is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, hotel back-of-house areas, satellite prep rooms, and event catering environments where both chilled and frozen storage are needed but a full two-cabinet solution is not practical. Where an operation runs significantly higher throughput with distinct volume demands across both temperature zones, separate dedicated uprights would offer more operational flexibility and redundancy.

If you are unsure whether the capacity split across the two compartments suits your service pattern, our team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1440H is a large-capacity double door upright refrigerator designed for commercial kitchens where chilled storage volume is a genuine operational constraint. With 1350 litres of usable interior space, it is built to handle continuous loading, frequent door access, and the sustained temperature demands that come with professional kitchen use across long service periods.

A cabinet of this size earns its place where a single door unit cannot hold sufficient stock to carry a full service without restocking runs. The EcoPro G3 range has a dependable track record in busy commercial environments, holding stable temperatures even as ambient kitchen heat builds during peak service. The Airlines ventilation system improves airflow around the compressor, helping reduce running time and supporting consistent thermal performance throughout the day.

From an operational standpoint, a few features of the G3 range are worth noting:

• The +stayclear condenser resists dust build-up, helping maintain efficiency and reducing the likelihood of condenser-related call-outs over time.
• The PureControl LED display is clear and easy to operate, reducing the risk of temperature setting errors during busy service periods.
• 304 stainless steel is used on doors and covers — the areas subject to the heaviest daily wear and cleaning.
• A helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled away from the wall for cleaning without disconnecting at the socket.
• Cyclopentane foam insulation supports sustained thermal efficiency across the cabinet's working life.

Installation requires adequate floor space for a full-height double door cabinet, along with sufficient rear and top clearance for ventilation. The unit is self-contained and refrigerant-charged, so no remote refrigeration system or external condenser is needed — a standard mains electrical supply is all that is required. For kitchens with restricted ceiling height or tight floor space, it is worth confirming the physical dimensions are workable before ordering. Access routes during delivery are also worth considering given the size of the cabinet.

The EP1440H is well suited to busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and large staff catering facilities where chilled storage capacity is under genuine daily pressure. For smaller operations where 1350 litres would consistently be underused, a single door model within the EcoPro G3 range is likely more appropriate. Sites running multiple service periods or very high covers should consider carefully whether this capacity fully meets their needs, or whether additional units would be a more practical approach.

If you are specifying refrigeration for a new kitchen or replacing an existing cabinet, we are glad to talk through whether this model suits your available space, workflow, and service volume before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1440M is a large-capacity double-door upright refrigerator configured specifically for raw meat storage. Unlike general-purpose refrigeration, it is built to hold the tighter temperature parameters that safe meat storage demands, making it a dedicated unit rather than a flexible general store.

A cabinet of this size is suited to kitchens with meaningful daily meat throughput — hotels, large restaurants, contract caterers, and production kitchens where separating raw meat from other produce is both a food safety requirement and an operational discipline. The double-door configuration allows independent access to each section, which limits temperature loss during busy service periods compared with fully opening a single large door. Foster's EcoPro G3 platform carries a reliable reputation for maintaining stable temperatures even in warm kitchen environments, and the updated Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat effectively, supporting consistent performance across long shifts.

Several design details carry genuine day-to-day value for kitchen teams:

• The +stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up, reducing maintenance frequency and sustaining efficiency over time
• 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers handles the wear of a busy kitchen reliably
• The PureControl LED display is straightforward to monitor, with optional building management system connectivity via a gateway
• Cyclopentane insulation foam retains thermal efficiency as the cabinet ages
• The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be repositioned for cleaning without awkward cable management

This is a freestanding cabinet and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — restricting airflow around the condenser will affect both efficiency and service life. It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers most UK commercial kitchen environments. Access routes, doorway widths, and corridor clearances should all be confirmed ahead of delivery, as a cabinet of this size and weight requires careful positioning. A dedicated electrical supply should be verified with your installer before fitting.

This unit is well suited to medium-to-large operations where dedicated meat storage is a compliance or operational priority. Smaller kitchens with lower meat volume would likely find a single-door or reduced-capacity alternative more proportionate. For very high-volume production sites, a remote-condensing solution may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your storage volume, kitchen layout, or food safety obligations, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1440L is a large-capacity double door reach-in freezer designed for commercial kitchens where reliable, high-volume frozen storage is a daily operational requirement. With 1350 litres of usable space split across two doors, it sits at the larger end of the upright reach-in category and is built to handle the kind of repeated access that a busy kitchen demands throughout a full service.

Temperature consistency under sustained use is where this cabinet earns its place. The EcoPro G3 is engineered to hold stable conditions even when doors are being opened frequently — a common failure point for lesser cabinets during peak periods. The Airlines ventilation system manages compressor running time efficiently, and the cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal retention over the unit's working life. The cabinet is also rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it a sound choice for warmer kitchen environments where some reach-in freezers struggle to maintain set points.

A few design details translate directly into day-to-day operational value:

• The +stayclear condenser resists build-up, reducing maintenance demand and helping preserve efficiency over time.
• The PureControl LED display gives straightforward temperature monitoring without unnecessary complexity.
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers holds up well under heavy daily use and regular cleaning routines.
• The fully floating lock mechanism is designed to resist breakage if a key is left in the lock — a practical consideration in a fast-moving kitchen.
• A helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled clear of the wall for cleaning without placing strain on the cable.

As a freestanding cabinet of this size, positioning needs to be considered carefully. Adequate clearance around the condenser is required for ventilation, and the unit's weight and footprint should be factored into decisions about floor loading and back-of-house workflow. It is best placed away from main service routes where it will not create congestion during busy periods.

The EP1440L is well suited to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, large restaurant kitchens, and central production units — environments where a single high-capacity cabinet is more practical than running multiple smaller units. If your frozen storage requirement is more modest, a single door or smaller double door model is likely to be a more efficient fit. For operations with particularly high or complex storage demands, it is worth working through your full requirements before committing to a configuration.

If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your volume or how it fits within your existing layout, our team is happy to help you think it through.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700F is an upright refrigeration cabinet built specifically for fish storage in commercial kitchens. Unlike a general-purpose cabinet pressed into fish duty, this unit is designed from the outset to meet the particular demands of the product category: isolating fish from other refrigerated stock, preventing odour transfer, and maintaining the kind of consistent, disciplined temperatures that fish requires to stay in condition through service.

During busy periods the cabinet is engineered to hold stable temperatures through repeated door openings. Foster's Airlines ventilation system supports efficient compressor operation and contributes to reliable temperature recovery. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist dust accumulation between planned maintenance intervals — a realistic consideration in any working kitchen. The unit is also rated to perform in higher ambient temperatures, making it a practical choice for kitchens where background heat builds significantly during service.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 platform translates well into kitchen workflow:

• PureControl LED display gives clear, at-a-glance temperature monitoring during service
• Stainless steel doors and covers hold up to heavy daily use and demanding cleaning regimes
• Cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal efficiency across the unit's working life
• Helicoil mains lead allows the cabinet to be repositioned for cleaning without stressing the connection
• Floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of door damage during high-traffic service periods

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this size, though a few practical points are worth considering beforehand. The EP700F requires a suitable single-phase mains supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Positioning should also allow rear access for servicing. In kitchens where fish volumes are relatively modest, a smaller dedicated cabinet may be sufficient. For high-throughput fish operations or sites handling multiple species simultaneously, a larger-capacity unit may better suit the workflow.

This cabinet is well suited to fish-focused restaurants, seafood specialists, hotel kitchens, and any operation where fish is held in meaningful volume and isolation from other produce is a genuine priority. It is not intended as a general cold store and should not be used as one.

If you are weighing up whether a dedicated fish cabinet is the right approach for your operation, or want to talk through sizing and placement options, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2H is a two-door refrigerated counter offering 280 litres of chilled storage at worktop level. It sits within Foster's established EcoPro G3 counter range and is built to keep ingredients accessible directly on the prep line, reducing the need for repeated trips to a remote cold room during a busy service.

In a working commercial kitchen, consistent temperature holding under sustained use is where this unit earns its place. The ventilation system actively cools the compressor, helping the counter maintain stable temperatures even when ambient kitchen heat is high. The improved condenser design also resists the gradual efficiency loss that can affect heavily used counters over time — a practical consideration for both running costs and food safety compliance across a long service life.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several worthwhile advantages:

• Stainless steel doors and covers hold up well under heavy daily use
• Cyclopentane foam insulation retains thermal performance throughout the unit's working life
• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature visibility at a glance
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled out for cleaning without disconnecting the supply
• Compact footprint suits tighter kitchen layouts without sacrificing usable storage

Installation is generally straightforward, but a few points are worth confirming before ordering. Allow adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow, ensure the floor is level and capable of supporting the loaded weight, and check overhead height clearance if the unit is to sit beneath an existing counter run. Your installer should verify the exact electrical supply requirements at the point of fitting.

The EP1/2H suits cafés, restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering sites that need reliable under-counter refrigeration on a working prep line. It is well matched to medium-volume services. Higher-throughput sites or larger prep teams may find it worth considering a greater-capacity configuration, while smaller or lower-volume operations may not require this level of storage.

If you would like to talk through whether this counter fits your layout, service pattern, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3H is a three-door refrigerated counter designed for prep-line use in professional kitchens. It provides 435 litres of chilled storage in an under-counter format, keeping ingredients accessible at the point of preparation without pulling staff away from their workstation. The G3 platform has a well-established track record in commercial kitchens, and this generation builds on that foundation with refined energy efficiency and improved practical detail throughout.

In active service conditions, the counter holds temperature reliably through repeated door openings during busy periods. Foster's +stayclear condenser resists the lint and grease accumulation that degrades cooling performance over time — a meaningful advantage when the unit sits close to cooking equipment, as is common in prep-line configurations. The Airlines ventilation system draws air more efficiently across the compressor, reducing run time and lowering energy consumption across a full shift. The unit is rated to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, so it copes with the heat levels found in working kitchen environments rather than struggling quietly in the background.

Day-to-day, the G3 counter offers a number of practical operational advantages:

• PureControl LED display gives clear temperature visibility with minimal energy draw
• 304-grade stainless steel on doors and high-contact surfaces withstands heavy daily use
• Cyclopentane insulation maintains thermal efficiency throughout the unit's working life
• Fully floating lock mechanism resists breakage if a key is left in the lock inadvertently
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled forward for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation is straightforward in most kitchens, though a few points are worth considering before the unit arrives on site. The condenser requires adequate clearance for airflow — positioning the counter flush into a tight alcove without ventilation space will affect both performance and compressor life over time. Electrical connection should be completed by a qualified person. Where this unit is being installed alongside other refrigeration in a counter run, the cumulative heat load in that section of the kitchen is worth factoring into the layout plan.

This counter is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering environments where consistent prep-line refrigeration is needed across a full service day. It works as a standalone unit or built into a larger counter configuration. Kitchens with lighter throughput may find a single- or two-door model in the same range more proportionate to their needs. For very high-volume sites operating extended service periods or particularly demanding environments, it is worth discussing whether a higher-specification unit would be the better long-term choice.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout, existing refrigeration setup, or service pattern, our team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/4H is a four-door refrigerated counter designed to sit beneath a preparation surface and deliver chilled storage directly at the point of use. The four-door configuration divides the interior into distinct zones, which suits kitchens where different sections of the prep team need independent access to ingredients without crossing the line or interrupting service flow.

Counter fridges in working kitchens take sustained punishment — doors opened hundreds of times per shift, ambient temperatures climbing during service, and heavy gastronorm loads being moved in and out throughout the day. The EcoPro G3 is built with that reality in mind. The +stayclear condenser is engineered to resist the grease and dust accumulation that gradually degrades refrigeration efficiency, helping the unit hold consistent temperatures rather than losing performance between maintenance cleans. The Airlines ventilation system supports compressor cooling, which contributes to reduced running time and lower energy draw over a full shift.

A few operational features are worth noting:

• PureControl LED display provides clear, at-a-glance temperature monitoring on the line
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers withstands the wear of intensive daily use
• Cyclopentane foam insulation helps sustain thermal stability under frequent door opening
• Fully floating lock is designed to resist breakage under heavy daily use
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation is generally straightforward, but it is worth confirming adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser before positioning the unit — restricted airflow is a common cause of reduced efficiency and premature wear. The unit is rated for operation in high ambient temperature environments, making it a practical choice for kitchens where conditions warm significantly during peak service. Confirm your electrical supply is compatible before proceeding.

This counter is well suited to mid-sized and larger operations — restaurants, hotels, contract catering sites, and similar environments — where a dedicated prep line benefits from under-counter refrigeration with meaningful capacity. Smaller kitchens running lighter volumes may find a two-door unit a more proportionate choice, while very high-throughput sites should consider whether additional refrigeration capacity is needed alongside it.

If you'd like to talk through whether this configuration fits your kitchen layout or service pattern before committing, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2M is a two-door under-counter refrigerator built specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. Rather than pressing a general-purpose fridge into service for meat holding, this unit operates within the temperature range required for dedicated raw meat compliance, sitting at prep counter height where it remains accessible without interrupting kitchen workflow.

The G3 counter range has a solid track record in busy kitchens for holding consistent temperatures through service. Foster's improved ventilation design allows the compressor to run more efficiently in warm kitchen environments — a genuine consideration in kitchens where ambient temperatures can climb substantially during a busy service. The +stayclear condenser resists build-up over time, which reduces the likelihood of engineer callouts and helps the unit maintain efficiency across its working life.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 offers several practical advantages:

• Counter-height design integrates into prep areas without disrupting kitchen layout
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers withstands heavy daily use and cleans down quickly
• PureControl LED display is easy to read in a demanding kitchen environment
• Cyclopentane foam insulation helps sustain thermal performance across the unit's working life
• Helicoil mains lead allows the counter to be moved for floor cleaning without disconnecting

Installation requires a standard mains connection with adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. The floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of damage if a key is left in the lock — a small but practical detail in a fast-moving kitchen. Before ordering, it is worth confirming the available counter run length and door swing clearance to ensure the unit fits the intended position cleanly.

This model is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and catering operations with a consistent throughput of raw meat that warrants dedicated cold storage at point of use. It is particularly relevant where food safety procedures require the physical separation of raw meat from other chilled produce. For very high-volume operations processing large quantities of meat daily, a larger upright or multi-door solution may be worth considering.

If you'd like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout and working practices, our team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3M is a three-door refrigerated counter designed specifically for raw meat storage in commercial kitchen environments. It sits at standard prep counter height, keeping correctly chilled meat accessible during service while supporting compliance with food safety temperature requirements. This is a purpose-built meat unit, not a general-purpose counter fridge, and that distinction matters in kitchens where raw meat segregation is a regulatory obligation.

Temperature consistency under working conditions is where this unit earns its place in a professional kitchen. The G3 is engineered to hold stable temperatures throughout a full service day, including in warm ambient environments where lesser units can struggle. Recovery after repeated door openings — a genuine concern in any active prep kitchen — is supported by high-performance insulation that retains its thermal properties across the unit's working life. The Airlines ventilation system manages compressor cooling efficiently, reducing unnecessary run time during long shifts.

The G3 generation brings several practical improvements worth noting:

• The +stayclear condenser resists build-up, helping maintain energy efficiency without frequent maintenance intervention.
• PureControl LED display provides clear temperature monitoring and supports optional remote connectivity for oversight across multiple units.
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up reliably to the impact and wear of a busy kitchen environment.
• A fully floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of door damage under heavy daily use.
• The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning without a full electrical disconnection.

The three-door format occupies a substantial run of counter space, so confirming available worktop length and the position of adjacent equipment before ordering is sensible. The unit requires unobstructed condenser airflow to operate efficiently — placements in confined or poorly ventilated areas should be assessed before installation, and access for routine condenser cleaning should factor into positioning decisions.

This counter is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens, hotel operations, butchery preparation areas, and catering facilities where dedicated meat storage at counter height is both a practical and regulatory requirement. Smaller operations with more modest raw meat storage needs may find a single- or two-door variant a more proportionate fit. For high-throughput sites handling significant daily meat volumes, it is worth discussing whether additional units or a higher-capacity configuration would better serve the operation.

If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout, your storage volumes, or your compliance setup, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/2L is a two door under-counter freezer offering 280 litres of frozen storage at worktop height. It is designed to sit within a commercial prep or service line, keeping frozen product immediately accessible without the footprint of a floor-standing cabinet.

The unit is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which makes it a practical choice for warmer kitchen environments where less robust units can struggle to hold temperature reliably. At standard worktop height, the surface above can serve as active prep space — a useful consideration where floor area is at a premium.

The EP1/2L is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, café kitchens, pub and restaurant prep areas, and grab-and-go operations where under-counter frozen storage needs to sit close to the cooking or assembly line. For higher-volume sites running extended service across multiple prep stations, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity unit would better meet demand.

If you would like to talk through whether this model fits your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team at Advantage is happy to help before you commit to a purchase.

The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1/3L is a three door undercounter freezer designed to sit within the prep line, keeping frozen storage accessible at the point of use rather than requiring staff to break away to a separate cold room. The 435-litre capacity is divided across three independently accessed sections, which makes it practical during busy service periods — different users can reach different zones simultaneously without blocking one another.

Foster's G3 range has earned a solid reputation in working kitchens, and a few specific design decisions make a meaningful difference in day-to-day operation. The +stayclear condenser is built to resist the gradual build-up that quietly degrades performance over time in busy environments. The Airlines ventilation system supports compressor cooling, which matters in kitchen conditions where ambient temperatures can place real stress on refrigeration. The unit is designed to cope with high ambient temperatures, making it dependable in the kinds of service conditions that cause less robust equipment to cut out or underperform.

From a practical standpoint, the G3 counter offers several operational advantages worth noting:

• Three separate door sections allow simultaneous access across zones during service
• 304 stainless steel on doors and covers stands up well to constant daily contact
• PureControl LED display provides a clear temperature readout with remote monitoring connectivity where required
• Cyclopentane foam insulation helps maintain stable internal temperatures between door openings
• Helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled forward for cleaning without stressing the cable

Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. As with any undercounter refrigeration, positioning away from direct heat sources — ovens, fryers, grills — will protect performance and extend working life. The three door configuration has a wider footprint than a single or two door counter, so it is worth confirming run lengths and surrounding equipment positions before ordering, particularly in kitchens where space is tight.

This unit is well suited to mid-size restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations that need reliable undercounter frozen storage integrated into the prep line. For smaller operations or tighter counter runs, a single or two door variant is worth considering. For higher-volume sites with more intensive refrigeration demands, a larger capacity solution may be a better match.

If you would like to talk through how this counter fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you commit.

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.

The Foster LR150 is a 150-litre under-counter freezer built to sit beneath a standard work surface and keep frozen product accessible at the point of preparation. It is a single-door unit intended for commercial environments where bench-level frozen storage and efficient use of floor space both matter.

Foster has a well-established reputation in commercial refrigeration, and the LR150 reflects that. The unit is rated to operate in ambient conditions up to 32°C, which means temperature stability is not a concern in the heat of a working kitchen. The front-breathing refrigeration system is a deliberate design choice — it allows the unit to be installed flush in an enclosed counter run without the rear clearance that a conventional venting arrangement would require.

For day-to-day operation, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Stainless steel exterior handles the knocks and cleaning regimes of a working kitchen
• Aluminium interior wipes down quickly and supports consistent hygiene standards
• Front-venting design removes the need for rear clearance in fitted counter runs
• Rear castors and front levelling bolts make repositioning and deep-clean access manageable

Installation requires only a standard single-phase electrical supply. The one point worth confirming before fitting is that the front grille remains unobstructed in use — this is essential for the venting system to function correctly in an enclosed position.

The LR150 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurant kitchens, and bakeries where frozen ingredients need to be within reach of the prep area. It works equally well as a secondary freezer in a larger operation where dedicated prep-point storage adds value. It is not designed for bulk frozen storage — sites with significant frozen stock requirements would be better served by a larger upright or chest freezer.

The Foster HR200 is a single-door under-counter refrigerator with a 200-litre capacity, designed to sit beneath standard preparation benches in a commercial kitchen. Its purpose is straightforward: to keep dairy and chilled ingredients refrigerated at the point of use, reducing unnecessary movement during service without occupying the floor space of a full upright cabinet.

Foster has a well-established background in commercial refrigeration, and the HR200 reflects that practical experience. The stainless steel exterior stands up to the day-to-day knocks and regular wipe-downs of a working kitchen, while the front-breathing refrigeration system is one of the unit's most operationally useful characteristics. Because all ventilation is handled from the front, the HR200 can be fitted into an enclosed cabinetry run without requiring rear clearance — a meaningful advantage in compact or galley-style kitchen layouts where space is already under pressure.

In practical terms, the unit offers several clear operational advantages:

• Front-breathing design allows enclosed installation without rear ventilation clearance
• Rear castors and front levelling bolts simplify positioning and levelling on uneven floors
• Stainless steel exterior is hardwearing and straightforward to clean during and after service
• Climate class 4 rating means the unit performs reliably in warmer kitchen environments
• Under-counter footprint keeps refrigerated stock close to the prep area throughout service

Installation is uncomplicated. The HR200 connects to a standard mains electrical supply and requires no specialist ventilation work — the front grille simply needs to remain unobstructed. The levelling bolts are a practical detail worth noting, particularly in older premises where floors are rarely perfectly level. One consideration worth checking before purchase: the unit is rated for dairy temperature ranges, so operators handling raw meat or fish should confirm the operating temperature meets their specific requirements.

The HR200 is well suited to cafés, small restaurant kitchens, hotel serveries, and similar operations where reliable under-counter refrigerated storage is needed close to the point of preparation. For higher-volume sites or operations requiring considerably more capacity, a larger under-counter or upright model would likely be a better fit.

If you want to confirm this unit suits your layout, installation conditions, or temperature requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Foster LR200 is a single-door under-counter freezer built to sit beneath standard preparation benches. Constructed with a stainless steel exterior and aluminium interior, it is a straightforward, hardwearing unit designed to handle the day-to-day demands of a working commercial kitchen without fuss.

In a busy service environment, the LR200 works well as a point-of-use freezer — keeping frozen prep stocks within reach of a specific section so staff do not need to leave the line during service. Its front-breathing refrigeration system is a practical advantage in fitted kitchen layouts, allowing the unit to sit within enclosed under-counter runs without the airflow restrictions that rear-venting cabinets create. It is also rated to climate class 4, which means it continues to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — a meaningful consideration in kitchens where summer heat or proximity to cooking equipment pushes temperatures up.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Front-breathing design suits enclosed under-counter runs and back-to-back cabinet layouts
• Climate class 4 rating supports reliable performance in warmer kitchen environments
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts aid positioning and routine cleaning access
• Stainless steel exterior withstands the knocks and cleaning routines of a commercial kitchen

As an under-counter unit, the LR200 is best understood as a complement to a larger cold storage setup rather than a standalone bulk freezer. It suits small to medium kitchens, café and restaurant prep areas, bar environments, or as a secondary freezer on a busy section. It is not designed for high-volume storage demands, and operations requiring significant freezer capacity would be better served by a full-height cabinet.

If you are working out whether this capacity fits your operation, or need to check how it will sit within an existing under-counter run, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Foster HR150/3D is a three-drawer undercounter refrigerator designed to sit beneath standard-height preparation benches in commercial kitchens. Its 150-litre capacity is distributed across three independent drawers, providing accessible chilled storage directly at the point of use — without giving up the worksurface above. The unit operates within dairy temperature parameters, making it a reliable option for kitchens that need cold storage close to a prep or service station.

In practice, drawer-format refrigeration offers a meaningful advantage over hinged-door cabinets in a busy kitchen. Chefs can pull stock without stepping away from the bench, ingredients stay visible and easy to rotate, and throughput at the prep station is rarely interrupted. The front-breathing refrigeration system allows installation within enclosed undercounter runs or tight cabinetry configurations, removing the rear clearance requirement that can complicate fitting standard models into constrained spaces.

• Drawer access keeps chilled ingredients close to hand throughout service without disrupting bench workflow
• Front-breathing design permits built-in or enclosed undercounter installation
• Rear castors and front levelling bolts aid positioning and simplify routine cleaning underneath
• Climate class 4 rating supports consistent performance where kitchen ambient temperatures reach 32°C
• Stainless steel exterior handles daily commercial use and wipes down quickly between services

The unit runs from a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires no water connection, keeping installation straightforward. The front-breathing system removes the need for rear clearance, though maintaining reasonable airflow around the unit is still advisable. The castor and levelling bolt combination is particularly useful on uneven kitchen floors.

This refrigerator suits cafés, sandwich bars, and smaller restaurant kitchens well, and works equally effectively as a supplementary chilled storage point at prep or pass stations in larger operations. It is especially practical wherever dairy ingredients need to stay within arm's reach during service. Kitchens with significantly higher storage demands or ambient conditions that regularly push beyond 32°C may find a larger or more heavily rated unit is a better match.

If you'd like to talk through whether this unit fits your layout and service setup before committing, the team at Advantage is happy to help.

The Foster HR360 is a 360-litre under-counter refrigerator built to hold dairy-temperature stock at the point of preparation. It sits beneath standard preparation benches and is constructed to the build quality expected across Foster's professional refrigeration range, with a stainless steel exterior and aluminium interior.

In working kitchens, under-counter refrigeration carries genuine operational weight. Keeping prep ingredients, dairy lines, and short-rotation stock close to where they're needed reduces unnecessary movement across the kitchen and keeps service running smoothly. The HR360 is well suited to that role. Its front-breathing refrigeration system is a practical advantage in fitted kitchens — it can be installed in enclosed under-counter runs without requiring rear clearance for airflow, which matters on sites where bench runs are tightly planned and access routes are managed carefully. The unit is also rated for operation in warmer ambient conditions, making it a reliable choice for kitchens where temperatures climb during busy service periods.

Features that support day-to-day operation include:

• Front-breathing system allows enclosed under-counter installation without rear clearance
• Climate class 4 rating suits kitchens with elevated ambient temperatures
• Roller castors to the rear and levelling bolts at the front for straightforward positioning
• Stainless steel exterior is hardwearing and easy to clean down between services
• Aluminium interior supports hygiene and routine cleaning between deliveries

Installation requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and no specialist ventilation provision, provided the front-breathing path remains unobstructed. The levelling bolts are a useful detail on older sites where floors are uneven. Before ordering, it is worth confirming the available height clearance beneath your existing bench run — under-counter units vary slightly in overall height and it is an easy thing to check before delivery.

The HR360 is a practical choice for small to medium-sized kitchens, café operations, pub kitchens, and any site needing reliable dairy-temperature storage close to the preparation area. It works well as a standalone unit or as part of a larger under-counter configuration. Sites with significantly higher cold storage demands may find a larger upright or multi-door cabinet better matched to their throughput requirements.

If you want to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or cold storage needs, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Foster LR360 is a 360-litre under-counter freezer built for commercial kitchens where floor space and bench area are both at a premium. Constructed in stainless steel with an aluminium interior, the unit sits beneath a standard-height workbench and keeps frozen stock accessible at the point of use without requiring a separate floor footprint. For kitchens with fitted under-counter runs, the front-breathing refrigeration system is often the deciding factor: it removes the need for rear clearance, allowing the unit to be installed flush in an enclosed configuration where a conventional unit simply could not go.

In service, the LR360 performs reliably in environments where frozen ingredients or pre-prepared items need to be staged close to a pass or prep section. The climate class 4 rating means it will continue to operate consistently in the warmer ambient temperatures that are common in commercial kitchens, including those without dedicated mechanical ventilation. Recovery after door opening during busy service periods is dependable, which matters when a unit is being accessed frequently throughout a shift.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Front-breathing design allows flush installation in enclosed under-counter runs without rear airflow clearance
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts make repositioning and deep cleaning manageable
• Stainless steel exterior is robust and easy to wipe down during and after service
• Aluminium interior supports thorough cleaning between uses
• Climate class 4 rating maintains consistent performance in warm kitchen environments

Installation requires a standard electrical supply and clear frontal access for airflow — no rear ventilation space is needed. The unit should sit on a level, solid surface during normal operation. It is worth confirming exact clearances before ordering if the unit is destined for a tightly fitted run, as small variations in cabinetry can affect installation.

The LR360 is well suited to cafés, bistros, and smaller restaurant kitchens, and works equally well as a supplementary freezer in larger operations where frozen prep needs to be staged at a specific workstation. Where a single unit of this capacity will not meet the volume required, Foster offer larger upright and multi-door alternatives. For very compact spaces, a smaller-capacity under-counter option may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout and the demands of your service, the team at Advantage is happy to help you think it through.

The Foster HR120 is a compact, single-door under counter refrigerator designed to sit beneath a standard worktop where floor space is at a premium. Built in stainless steel with an aluminium interior, it provides 120 litres of accessible chilled storage configured for GN 1/1 compatibility — a practical solution for prep areas, service counters, and back-of-house stations where chilled product needs to be within arm's reach rather than retrieved from a central cold room.

In a working kitchen, under counter refrigeration earns its place by reducing unnecessary movement during service. Keeping dairy products, garnishes, sauces, and prepped items close to the point of use keeps workflow tighter and helps staff maintain pace without repeatedly visiting a walk-in or upright cabinet. The HR120 is rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which means performance remains consistent in the warmer conditions common in busy kitchens — particularly useful when the unit is positioned near cooking equipment or in areas with limited ventilation.

A few points worth noting from an operational standpoint:

• Front-breathing refrigeration system allows built-in or enclosed placement without rear clearance
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts make positioning and routine cleaning access straightforward
• Stainless steel exterior handles the daily knocks and wipe-downs of a commercial kitchen reliably
• Rated for dairy temperature ranges, making it well suited to coffee stations, pastry sections, and prep counters
• A energy rating supports lower running costs across continuous 24-hour operation

This unit is best suited to smaller operations or supplementary cold storage roles — a café, sandwich bar, hotel breakfast station, or as an additional unit alongside larger refrigeration in a busier kitchen. It is not intended as the sole refrigeration where high-volume cycling and greater capacity are required. For sites with heavier throughput demands, a larger upright or multi-door cabinet would be a more appropriate starting point.

If you are working out whether this capacity fits your operation or how it sits within an existing kitchen layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Foster HR240 is a two-door under-counter refrigerator offering 240 litres of chilled storage within a compact stainless steel cabinet designed to sit beneath standard worktops. It operates at dairy temperatures and is built for kitchens where floor space is limited but consistent, reliable refrigeration remains a priority.

Under-counter refrigeration earns its keep by placing chilled ingredients at the point of preparation without consuming valuable standing space. The HR240 is rated for ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which gives it practical dependability in warmer kitchen environments where less capable units can drift off temperature during a busy service. Its front-breathing refrigeration system — drawing and expelling air from the front rather than the sides or rear — is one of its more operationally useful features. This allows the cabinet to be installed within an enclosed under-counter run or a built-in configuration without requiring ventilation clearances at the sides or back.

• Front-breathing design suits installation in enclosed under-counter runs
• GN 1/1 compatible interior supports standard gastronorm storage
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts allow repositioning and precise levelling
• Aluminium interior is easy to clean and holds up well under daily kitchen use
• A-rated energy classification helps keep running costs manageable across long operating hours

The unit runs from a standard single-phase supply and requires no water connection. The front grille must remain clear for adequate airflow. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that your existing worktop height and run configuration will accommodate the cabinet properly.

The HR240 is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and smaller prep areas where dairy storage is needed close to the bench or pass. It is also commonly used as supplementary refrigeration in larger operations. Where higher capacity or a wider temperature range is required, Foster's upright and multi-door cabinets are worth considering.

If you'd like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your layout or service pattern, our team is happy to help you work it out.

The Foster LR120 is a 120-litre undercounter freezer designed for commercial kitchen use. Built to sit beneath standard preparation benches, it keeps frozen ingredients accessible at the point of use without taking up additional floor space — a practical arrangement wherever section-level access to frozen stock genuinely improves workflow.

In a busy service environment, proximity to frozen product reduces unnecessary movement and helps maintain pace. The front-breathing refrigeration system is well suited to enclosed or built-in positions, removing the need for rear clearance and opening up installation options in kitchens where space is tightly managed. The unit is also rated to perform reliably in high-ambient conditions, which matters in commercial kitchens where background heat from cooking equipment is a constant factor.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages are:

• Front-breathing design allows enclosed or built-in installation without rear ventilation clearance
• High-ambient rating supports consistent performance in hot kitchen environments
• Undercounter format keeps frozen stock accessible at the section without a freestanding footprint
• Stainless steel exterior is robust and straightforward to clean during and after service
• Roller castors and levelling bolts simplify positioning and fine adjustment on installation

Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate front clearance for the ventilation system. There are no complex prerequisites, but as with any undercounter unit, the 120-litre capacity is best treated as supplementary frozen storage rather than a primary bulk store. Kitchens that depend on a single unit as their sole source of frozen storage, or those running at significant volume, would generally be better served by a full-height cabinet with greater capacity.

This unit is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, café and sandwich bar operations, pub food services, and hotel or hospitality prep areas. It also works effectively as a secondary freezer on a dedicated section within a larger kitchen, wherever bringing frozen ingredients closer to the chef has a direct benefit to workflow.

If you'd like to talk through whether the capacity suits your service pattern, or how this unit would sit alongside your existing refrigeration, the team is happy to work through the details with you.

The Foster LR240 is a stainless steel under-counter freezer designed to sit beneath a standard worktop and provide reliable frozen storage directly at the point of use. With an aluminium interior and a compact footprint, it is a practical choice for prep areas, pastry sections, or service lines where bench space is limited and immediate access to frozen product matters.

Foster has a long-standing presence in UK commercial kitchens, and the LR240 reflects that background. The unit is rated to operate in high-ambient conditions, which makes it dependable in hot kitchen environments where maintaining consistent temperatures can be a genuine challenge. One of its more useful characteristics is the front-breathing refrigeration system, which means it can be positioned in enclosed or built-in situations without the ventilation clearance that rear-breathing units typically require.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the LR240 offers several practical advantages:

• Front-breathing design allows flush or built-in installation beneath counters
• GN 1/1 compatible interior suits standard kitchen containers and reduces handling time during service
• High-ambient rating reduces the risk of temperature drift in demanding kitchen environments
• Rear roller castors and front levelling bolts make repositioning and thorough cleaning straightforward
• Stainless steel exterior supports hygiene compliance and tolerates daily cleaning routines

Installation is straightforward. The unit runs from a standard single-phase electrical supply and requires no external ventilation provision, provided the front grille remains clear. It is worth noting that this unit is best understood as a point-of-use freezer rather than a primary bulk storage solution — operators with high frozen-product turnover or significant storage demands may find a larger upright or multi-door cabinet better matched to their needs.

The LR240 suits cafés, small restaurants, hotel serveries, and prep kitchens where space is at a premium. It works particularly well as a secondary freezer positioned close to a specific workstation, reducing unnecessary movement during a busy service.

The Foster FPS 2 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining an under-counter storage cabinet with a chilled top section designed to hold gastronorm pans. It keeps fresh ingredients at safe working temperatures and within easy reach throughout service — a practical arrangement for any kitchen running dish assembly from multiple fresh components. This style of unit is commonly referred to as a saladette or prep station, and it is a standard fixture in pizza operations, sandwich bars, salad stations, and starter or dessert prep lines.

In a working kitchen, the real test of a prep station is how consistently it holds temperature when lids are being lifted repeatedly during a busy service. The FPS 2 HR uses a revised airflow design that maintains a stable chill across the pan section even under active use, reducing the risk of temperature drift and the food safety concerns that can follow. The rear-mounted refrigeration unit keeps the storage interior clear and makes the unit more accessible when routine servicing is required.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit addresses several practical requirements at once:

• Chilled pan section at a comfortable working height, reducing fatigue during long service periods
• Inner catch-tray beneath the pan section prevents debris falling into the storage compartment
• 304 stainless steel construction throughout, supporting thorough cleaning and commercial hygiene standards
• Rear-mounted refrigeration unit leaves under-counter storage unobstructed and simplifies engineer access
• Suited to pizza prep, saladette, sandwich assembly, and dessert stations

The unit is freestanding and can sit within a counter run or operate independently. It requires a standard electrical connection and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation — worth confirming before positioning it tight against a wall or within a close-fitting equipment run. As with any refrigerated prep counter, keeping it away from direct heat sources such as grills or flat-tops will protect efficiency and reduce compressor workload over time.

The FPS 2 HR is well suited to small and medium operations — cafés, pizzerias, delis, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant prep lines — where a reliable prep station is needed without overspecifying for the covers being served. For higher-volume sites with extended service periods or multiple cooks working the same station, a larger or more heavily specified unit may be worth considering. At the other end, for very low-volume or occasional-use settings, a smaller single-door unit may be a more proportionate choice.

If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout and workflow, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Foster FPS 3 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining a nine-pan chilled rail with a three-door cold storage cabinet below. The two functions share a single footprint, giving kitchen teams chilled ingredient access at the point of use alongside bulk cold storage without occupying additional floor space. It is a format widely used in pizza operations, sandwich bars, salad-focused menus, and starter or dessert preparation where fast, repeated access to prepped ingredients during service is essential.

The practical value of any prep station depends on how consistently it holds pan temperatures when the lid is being lifted repeatedly throughout a busy service. Foster's rear-mounted refrigeration and revised airflow design help maintain stable temperatures across the pan rail under that kind of frequent use. The below-counter cabinet keeps backup stock immediately to hand, reducing movement away from the station during high-volume periods and helping to maintain a steady workflow from the start of service through to close.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Nine-pan rail capacity supports a broad ingredient range without restocking mid-service
• Inner catch tray beneath the pan section keeps debris out of the storage cabinet below
• Rear-mounted refrigeration leaves the cabinet interior unobstructed and simplifies routine servicing
• 304 stainless steel construction supports hygiene standards and withstands regular kitchen cleaning
• Three-door cabinet layout provides organised cold storage directly beneath the working surface

Installation is straightforward in most commercial kitchens, requiring a standard electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance at the rear. As with any refrigerated prep counter, the unit should be sited away from direct heat sources such as overhead salamanders or adjacent grills — sustained ambient heat affects holding temperature consistency and running costs over time. Allow sufficient clearance for the cabinet door swing, and confirm that your floor loading is appropriate for a fully stocked unit of this size.

This unit is well suited to independent restaurants, pizzerias, cafés, and quick-service operations where a single station can serve one section effectively throughout service. For kitchens running multiple prep sections simultaneously or handling a very high ingredient throughput, a larger or higher-output model may be worth considering. If your menu requires fewer pans or your kitchen has limited space, more compact alternatives are available within the prep station range.

If you would like to talk through how this unit would work within your specific kitchen layout and service volumes, the team is happy to help you work it out before committing.

The Foster FPS 4 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter combining an open pan section at worktop level with a refrigerated storage cabinet beneath. The pan section holds up to twelve one-third GN pans, keeping chilled ingredients accessible at the point of preparation without requiring chefs to move away from the work surface. It is commonly used in pizza kitchens, saladette counters, deli sections, sandwich bars, and café prep stations where multiple ingredients need to be held at safe temperatures throughout service.

The practical value of this type of unit in a working kitchen comes from compressing the preparation process into a single station. Ingredients are at the top, replenishment stock is directly below, and the operator stays in position throughout service. An inner catch-tray in the pan section prevents food debris from migrating into the storage cabinet, reducing both contamination risk and the time required for end-of-service cleaning. The rear-mounted refrigeration system keeps the interior of the storage cabinet fully unobstructed and allows servicing without significant disruption to the kitchen layout.

Key operational benefits include:

• Twelve GN pan positions keep ingredients chilled and within reach during service
• Catch-tray design limits cross-contamination between the pan section and storage cabinet
• Rear-mounted refrigeration leaves interior storage space fully clear
• Consolidated prep and storage reduces unnecessary movement during busy service periods
• Stainless steel construction handles the demands of continuous daily use

Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate rear clearance for ventilation. In enclosed or tight kitchen layouts, confirming airflow around the refrigeration system at the planning stage is advisable. It is also worth checking worktop height against existing preparation surfaces before installation, particularly where staff work long shifts, as ergonomic mismatches become noticeable over time. Floor levelness and load-bearing capacity should be confirmed prior to positioning the unit.

This unit is well suited to medium-volume operations — pizza restaurants, pub kitchens, café prep lines, and deli counters where a dedicated prep station supports consistent throughput across a full service period. For sites running extended hours with very high ingredient turnover, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity configuration would be a closer match for the demand.

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

The Foster RBCT20/60 is a roll-in blast chiller and freezer designed for structured cook-chill and cook-freeze production. It accepts a Rational 201 combi oven trolley directly, allowing cooked product to transfer straight from the oven into the chiller without any intermediate tray handling or reloading. The unit chills a 60kg load and freezes a 20kg load, operating within the food safety requirement to bring product from cooking temperature down to safe holding temperature within 90 minutes.

In a production kitchen running daily cook-chill cycles, the roll-in format delivers a measurable workflow benefit. Removing the trolley-to-trolley transfer step reduces handling time, limits the period during which food is exposed to ambient temperatures, and simplifies the temperature logging that HACCP documentation requires. This is a dedicated production tool for sites where cook-chill output is a core daily requirement — not a general-purpose cabinet with chilling capability bolted on.

Practical benefits for production operations include:

• Eliminates tray-by-tray transfer between oven and chiller, reducing handling time and contamination risk
• Supports compliant 90-minute chill cycles for food safety assurance
• Simplifies HACCP logging with a single trolley tracked through the production cycle
• Roll-in format reduces physical demands on kitchen staff during busy production runs
• Consistent freezing performance supports cook-freeze as well as cook-chill output

Before specifying this unit, there are installation and compatibility points worth confirming. The roll-in design is configured around the Rational 201 trolley — verifying that your existing or planned trolley matches this specification before ordering is important. The unit requires a clear, level approach path and sufficient floor space to manoeuvre the loaded trolley into position. Adequate overhead clearance is needed for ventilation and future service access. This is a high-capacity production unit and is not appropriate for sites running only occasional or low-volume chilling.

The RBCT20/60 is well suited to central production kitchens, large hotel banqueting operations, contract catering facilities, and healthcare or education sites producing food in volume. It is particularly relevant where Rational combi ovens are already in use and the blast chilling side of the workflow needs to match that system. For sites with significantly higher throughput or those operating different trolley systems, other configurations are available in the Foster range.

If you are building a cook-chill workflow around this unit or need to confirm trolley compatibility with your current setup, the team is happy to work through the details before you commit to anything.
