Product Description
The Sterling Pro SP3HC-STS is a three-door under-counter bottle cooler designed for back bar use in pubs, bars, restaurants, and cafés. It sits beneath the bar counter and keeps bottled product at consistent serving temperatures throughout service, with each door section independently accessible so staff can reach stock quickly without disturbing the rest of the cabinet.
During busy service periods, the combination of static cooling assisted by fan circulation helps the unit hold stable temperatures even with repeated door openings. The aluminium interior supports even cold distribution across the cabinet, and internal LED lighting makes it easy to locate product at a glance without introducing excess heat. Three separate hinged glass doors give staff clear sight of stock levels while limiting temperature loss to one section at a time.
From a practical standpoint, this unit offers several day-to-day operational advantages:
- Fitted door locks support stock security in staffed or open-plan service environments
- Adjustable shelving allows configuration for different bottle heights and product mixes
- R600a refrigerant carries a lower environmental impact than older refrigerant types
- Timed automatic defrost reduces routine maintenance demands during operation
- Electronic controller allows straightforward temperature management without specialist knowledge
Installation requires a standard mains electrical connection and adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — restricting airflow will affect both cooling performance and long-term reliability. Before ordering, it is worth confirming that the unit will clear any bar counter overhang and that the floor can support the loaded weight. This is a staff-access unit with hinged glass doors rather than a sealed customer-facing display cooler, so it is best positioned behind the service line.
This model is a practical choice for mid-volume bars, pub back bars, and restaurant service stations where reliable chilled bottle storage is needed across a full service shift. For very high-volume venues with extended service periods and heavy door traffic, a higher-capacity unit may be worth considering. For smaller outlets with limited back bar space, a single or twin-door alternative could be a more practical fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right match for your service volume or available space, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The SP3HC-STS is well suited to mid-volume bars and restaurant service stations with regular but not extreme door traffic. For venues running continuous back-to-back service with very high throughput, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or higher-capacity unit would be a more reliable long-term choice — our team can help you assess this based on your expected volume.
- The unit requires a standard mains electrical connection and sufficient clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — this is important for both cooling efficiency and long-term reliability. Before ordering, confirm the unit will fit beneath your bar counter overhang and that your floor can handle the weight of a fully loaded cabinet.
- This is a staff-access back bar cooler with hinged glass doors designed for behind-the-bar use, not a sealed front-of-house display cabinet. It is best positioned on the service side of the bar where staff can access it efficiently during service rather than as a customer-facing merchandiser.
