Product Description
The Sterling Pro SPU303 is a three-door refrigerated counter unit built to sit within a commercial kitchen prep line. It provides a substantial chilled storage volume beneath a full-length stainless steel worktop, keeping fresh ingredients cold and close to hand throughout service — removing the need to break off and visit a remote cold room at the wrong moment. The three-door layout allows different ingredient categories or sections to be separated, so opening one door does not expose the entire contents to ambient kitchen temperatures.
During a busy service, this type of unit earns its place quickly. Chefs can reach portioned ingredients without leaving the section, and the worktop above remains available for active prep. Stainless steel construction throughout handles regular sanitiser wash-downs without deterioration, resists surface damage from everyday kitchen use, and satisfies the hygiene standards expected during a food safety inspection. The undermount format integrates cleanly into an existing counter run rather than interrupting the workflow of the line.
Key operational advantages include:
- Three separate door sections for organising ingredients by station or category
- Full-length stainless steel prep surface above for active use during service
- Catering-grade construction suited to sustained daily commercial kitchen use
- Environmentally responsible refrigerant supporting lower running costs
- Compact undermount format that fits neatly into an established counter run
Before installation, confirm there is adequate clearance at the rear and sides for condenser ventilation — restricted airflow will reduce efficiency and shorten the working life of the unit. A suitable electrical supply needs to be in place, and anyone specifying this unit into a new build should ensure services are positioned before counters are fixed in. Access routes and floor loading are worth checking if the unit needs to reach a basement kitchen or a site with restricted delivery access.
This counter is well suited to restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and similar mid-sized operations where prep-line refrigeration needs to be practical and space-efficient. Sites running very high covers, multiple concurrent prep sections, or extended service periods may find a higher-capacity unit a more appropriate long-term choice.
If you would like to talk through whether this counter suits your kitchen layout and service volume, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is well suited to mid-volume operations — restaurants, pub kitchens, and cafés running up to around 100 to 120 covers where a single prep section draws on one counter. For sites running significantly higher covers, operating multiple prep sections simultaneously, or requiring very rapid ingredient turnover across a long service, a higher-capacity unit with greater storage volume may serve you better in the long run. It is worth discussing your throughput before committing.
- The unit requires a suitable electrical supply, so services should be confirmed and positioned before counters are fixed in place — particularly relevant in a new build or refurbishment. Adequate clearance at the rear and sides for condenser ventilation is essential; restricted airflow affects both cooling performance and the working life of the refrigeration system. Weight and physical access to the installation site should also be considered if the kitchen is in a basement or has restricted loading routes.
- The SPU303 is a standard refrigerated prep counter with a flat stainless steel worktop — it is not configured from the factory as a saladette or pizza prep unit with a refrigerated top section and GN insert pans. If you need an integrated prep top with chilled inserts for a pizza or salad station, a dedicated saladette counter would be the more appropriate choice. The team can point you towards suitable alternatives if that is the configuration you need.
