Kubus KCDL4HT Drop-In Chilled Deli Serve Over Counter 1525mm

The Kubus KCDL4HT is a refrigerated drop-in serve-over display designed for assisted-service counters in delis, cafés, food-to-go operations, and sandwich bars. It sits flush into a prepared countertop aperture and holds four full-size GN pans in a chilled well, keeping refrigerated food within safe serving temperature throughout a full trading day. The superstructure is built from polished stainless steel and aluminium rectangular profiles with full-height toughened glass on the front and sides, giving clear product visibility without compromising hygiene or structural rigidity.

In service, the unit maintains food core temperatures reliably across continuous operation, which matters when the display is replenished regularly during a busy lunch period. The front glass tilts forward on a locking hinge, making it straightforward to clean between services without dismantling the unit. Modular removable deck plates in the chilled well simplify deep cleaning further, and the built-in condensate evaporator removes the need for a drain connection at the installation point — a practical advantage in counters where drainage routing would otherwise be awkward or costly.

Key operational features include:

• R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant — lower environmental impact and lower running costs than older refrigerants
• Diffused overhead illumination built into the gantry profile for consistent product presentation
• Eye-level digital temperature display with a lockable control panel on the operator side
• Integral condensate evaporator — no site drainage required
• Optional chopping boards over the rear shelf to create a local preparation area
• Toughened glass mid-shelf providing additional ambient display space

The unit arrives with air inlet grills, a lifting kit, and a 2m lead and plug top. The underslung condensing unit is ventilated through the supplied air grills fitted into the counter fascia, so the counter build needs to accommodate this airflow path. At 161kg, installation requires appropriate handling and counter support, and the countertop aperture must be prepared to the correct dimensions before fitting. GN containers are sold separately.

This display is well suited to operations running a structured assisted-service counter — delis, hotel breakfast bars, staff restaurants, and similar environments where presentation, hygiene, and consistent chilled holding are priorities. It is designed for continuous operation rather than occasional display use. For higher-volume sites or where a larger footprint is needed, wider configurations within the range may be worth considering.

If you're planning a new counter build or fitting this into an existing service area, it's worth talking through the ventilation and counter preparation requirements before ordering — our team is happy to help with that.
