Product Description
The Hoshizaki Premier K 2A 3D 3D CU is a two-section refrigerated counter fitted with six drawers, offering a practical cold storage solution designed to sit directly within a prep or service line. Rather than relying on hinged doors that swing out into a busy kitchen, the drawer configuration allows staff to access ingredients at worktop level without stepping back or disrupting the flow of service. The unit runs on castors, making repositioning straightforward during cleaning or kitchen reorganisation.
Hoshizaki refrigeration is well regarded in commercial kitchens for consistent temperature holding and reliable day-to-day performance. The drawer format is particularly valued in high-throughput prep environments where chefs need to retrieve portioned ingredients quickly and repeatedly throughout a service. The counter-height worktop also provides usable preparation surface, which is a meaningful advantage in kitchens where every square metre counts.
Practical advantages of this unit include:
- Six-drawer layout supports ingredient separation and portion control across two sections
- Counter-height worktop adds usable prep surface directly above the cold storage
- Castors allow the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning beneath and behind
- Hoshizaki cooling systems are known for stable temperature recovery after repeated drawer openings
- A-rated energy classification helps keep running costs in check across long operating hours
As with any undercounter refrigeration, it is worth confirming that your kitchen has adequate ventilation clearance around the unit and that the available floor space accommodates the footprint comfortably. Drawer counters of this size are best suited to kitchens with an established prep line layout where the unit can be positioned close to the point of use. For lighter-demand environments, a smaller single-section drawer unit may be more appropriate; for larger brigades or higher-volume sites, a wider multi-section configuration may serve better.
This unit is well suited to busy restaurant kitchens, hotel prep areas, and catering operations where speed of access to chilled ingredients during service is a priority. The six-drawer layout makes it particularly practical for kitchens that work with a range of portioned or prepped items that benefit from being kept separate and immediately to hand.
If you are weighing up whether the drawer count, section layout, or capacity is the right fit for how your kitchen operates, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Drawer counters work best where chefs need fast, repeated access to portioned or prepped ingredients at the point of use — they are particularly well suited to busy prep lines where pulling open a hinged door would interrupt workflow. If your cold storage needs are more about bulk ingredient holding rather than quick individual access, a conventional door-based counter or upright cabinet may be more practical. It is worth thinking about how your team actually moves during service before deciding.
- You will need to confirm there is adequate ventilation clearance around the unit as specified by Hoshizaki, a suitable power supply nearby, and enough floor space to position the unit within your prep line without obstructing walkways. Because this unit runs on castors, the floor surface should be level and capable of supporting the loaded weight. If your kitchen is a listed building or has restricted ventilation, it is worth discussing the installation requirements with us before ordering.
- Hoshizaki units are built with commercial service in mind, and the refrigeration system is designed to recover temperature efficiently after repeated access — which matters significantly in a kitchen where drawers may be opened dozens of times during a shift. The six-drawer layout also helps, as opening one drawer has less impact on overall cabinet temperature than opening a full-width door. That said, positioning the unit away from direct heat sources such as fryers or ovens will help it perform consistently across a long service.
