Product Description
The Sterling Pro SP2HC-STS is an under-counter double door bottle cooler designed for back-bar use in commercial settings. It provides chilled bottle storage that stays accessible to staff throughout service without encroaching on front-of-house space, making it a practical workhorse for bars, pub service areas, and restaurant service stations.
In a working bar environment, the unit is built to handle the consistent demand of a full service shift. The fan-assisted static cooling system maintains an even temperature across the cabinet, and an automatic timed defrost cycle removes the need for manual intervention during or after service. These are not premium extras — they are standard operational requirements for a bottle cooler running continuously across long service periods.
The practical advantages operators tend to value most in day-to-day use include:
- Internal LED lighting keeps bottle stock clearly visible without adding heat to the cabinet
- Fitted door locks support stock security in busy or multi-staff environments
- Adjustable shelving allows the interior to be configured around different bottle sizes and formats
- Hinged glass doors allow quick, single-bottle access without significantly disrupting the cooling zone
- Electronic temperature controller allows straightforward adjustment without specialist knowledge
As an under-counter unit, the SP2HC-STS requires a well-ventilated back-bar position with sufficient clearance around the condenser to dissipate heat effectively. Positioning it in a confined, poorly ventilated space will reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the life of the unit. It connects to a standard 13A mains supply, but it is worth confirming your specific installation conditions before fixing the final position. This unit is intended for indoor use in controlled temperature environments only.
The SP2HC-STS is well suited to medium-volume bars, pub back-bars, restaurant service stations, and café counters where dependable chilled bottle storage is needed across a full service day. For very high-volume sites with continuous, heavy throughput, a larger upright bottle cooler may be a more proportionate investment. Where space or volume is more limited, a single-door model may be the better fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your bar layout and service pattern, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The SP2HC-STS is well suited to medium-volume operations such as pub back-bars, restaurant service stations, and café counters running standard service periods. For sites with very high bottle turnover or back-to-back service across a full day, a larger upright bottle cooler with greater storage capacity may be a more reliable long-term choice. If you are unsure, it is worth discussing your expected throughput with the team before ordering.
- The SP2HC-STS runs on a standard 13A mains supply, so no specialist electrical installation is required in most cases. The most important consideration is ventilation — the unit needs adequate clearance around the condenser to dissipate heat, and positioning it in a tightly enclosed space will affect both performance and longevity. It is designed for indoor use in temperature-controlled environments only and is not suitable for outdoor or unheated back-of-house areas.
- Yes, the interior shelving is adjustable, which allows the cabinet to be reconfigured around different bottle formats — useful if your range includes a mix of standard 330ml bottles, larger formats, or irregularly shaped products. It is worth planning your shelf layout before the unit goes into service so you are not reorganising mid-shift.
