The Hoshizaki Advance CF 45 SG is a large-capacity chest freezer designed for bulk frozen storage in commercial catering environments. With a 416-litre gross volume and a stainless-steel top panel, it is built to handle the day-to-day demands of professional food service operations where reliable, consistent freezing of bulk product is a priority.

Chest freezers of this capacity are commonly used in operations that need to hold large quantities of frozen stock — prep kitchens, event catering, school and contract catering facilities, and high-volume food production environments where walk-in cold rooms are not practical or cost-effective. The deep storage format makes it well suited to holding bulky items such as whole joints, large trays, and catering packs that would not fit comfortably in an upright cabinet freezer.

From an operational standpoint, chest freezers offer some practical advantages over their upright counterparts:

  • Cold air is retained more effectively when the lid is opened, reducing temperature recovery time
  • Typically lower running costs than comparable upright models due to the natural cold-air retention of the chest format
  • Stainless-steel top panel provides a durable, cleanable surface that handles kitchen conditions well
  • Suitable for back-of-house and storage areas where frequent access to individual portions is less critical

Installation requirements are straightforward — the unit is self-contained and requires only a standard electrical supply. It is worth confirming that the intended location has adequate ventilation around the unit, as heat dissipation affects long-term compressor performance. Access through doorways and into the storage area should be checked before delivery, as chest freezers of this size can be awkward to manoeuvre once on site.

This model is well suited to operators who need high-capacity bulk storage and are comfortable with the chest format's trade-off of slightly less convenient access compared to an upright cabinet. For operations needing easier front-access retrieval or where space is limited, an upright freezer cabinet may be more practical. For significantly higher storage volumes, larger chest or upright options are available across the range.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your storage volumes or site, our team is happy to work through the options with you before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is a chest freezer of this size practical for a busy kitchen environment?

Chest freezers at this capacity are best suited to bulk storage roles rather than high-frequency pick situations. They work well in prep kitchens, contract catering operations, and back-of-house storage where large quantities of frozen goods need to be held securely. If your team needs to access individual portions frequently during service, an upright freezer cabinet with shelved compartments may be more practical day-to-day.

What do I need to consider before installing this unit?

The main practical considerations are electrical supply, ventilation clearance around the unit, and access through doorways during delivery. Chest freezers of this size need adequate airflow around the condenser to operate efficiently, so positioning against a wall with no clearance can affect long-term performance. It is also worth measuring the route through to the final location before the unit arrives on site.

How does this model compare to an upright freezer cabinet of similar capacity?

The chest format generally offers better cold-air retention when opened and can be more energy-efficient in bulk storage applications, but it provides less convenient access to individual items. Upright cabinets with shelved interiors suit operations that need organised, easy retrieval during service. The right choice depends on how the freezer will be used day-to-day — if you are weighing up the two formats, it is worth having a conversation with us about your specific storage and workflow requirements.
