XR1300H Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster XR1300H is a large-capacity two-door upright refrigerator from one of the UK's most established commercial refrigeration manufacturers. It is designed to hold a substantial volume of chilled food in a single freestanding unit, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need reliable bulk storage within reach of the preparation area.
In busy kitchen environments, consistent temperature performance is what matters most. The XR1300H uses fan-assisted cooling to maintain even temperatures throughout the cabinet, which helps protect food quality across a full load. Auto defrost removes one routine maintenance task from the kitchen team, and the thick insulation supports stable holding even when the doors are opened repeatedly during service.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers a number of practical advantages:
- Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving for flexible load configuration
- Replaceable door gaskets, reducing downtime if seals wear over time
- All-stainless construction for durability and straightforward cleaning
- Auto defrost for consistent operation without manual intervention
- Fan-assisted cooling for even temperature distribution across a full load
Being a freestanding upright unit, installation is relatively straightforward compared to built-in or remote refrigeration systems. It will require adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation, and a suitable single-phase power supply. As with any large upright cabinet, access routes and doorway widths should be checked before delivery, as units of this size can present challenges in older or more confined kitchen layouts.
The XR1300H suits mid- to high-volume kitchens — hotels, contract catering, large restaurants, and similar operations — where a single high-capacity chilled storage unit is preferable to multiple smaller cabinets. For sites with lighter storage demands, a smaller single-door model may be more appropriate, while very high-throughput operations handling large daily deliveries may want to consider a heavier-duty or larger-capacity alternative.
If you are weighing up whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

XR1300H Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the XR1300H is well suited to mid- to high-volume operations such as busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering sites where a single large-capacity chilled storage unit is needed. If your kitchen handles exceptionally high daily throughput or requires continuous heavy loading, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty cabinet would better match your demands.
- The XR1300H requires a standard single-phase power supply and adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and sides of the unit. As a large two-door upright cabinet, it is important to check access routes, corridor widths, and doorway dimensions before delivery to avoid difficulties on site — this is a common oversight with cabinets of this size.
- Fan-assisted cooling circulates cold air throughout the cabinet rather than relying on passive convection, which helps maintain a more consistent temperature even when the doors are opened frequently during service. This is particularly useful in high-demand periods when the unit is loaded heavily or accessed repeatedly by kitchen staff.
