True TSSU-72-18-HC Triple Door Prep Counter Fridge 18 x 1/6GN

The True TSSU-72-18-HC is a refrigerated preparation counter built for commercial kitchens where a dedicated cold station is in constant use throughout service. It combines a worktop-level refrigerated pan rail holding eighteen 1/6 GN pans with a triple-door refrigerated cabinet beneath, giving kitchen teams direct access to chilled ingredients at the point of preparation without leaving the line.

In busy service environments — pizza operations, saladette bars, grab-and-go counters, and fast-casual kitchens — this style of unit proves its value during peak periods. The pan rail keeps ingredients organised, portioned, and held at safe temperatures throughout a full service, while the cabinet below provides useful cold storage for backup stock, sauces, and pre-prepped components. True's refrigeration systems are well regarded for holding consistent temperatures even when the unit is positioned close to cooking equipment, which is a genuine concern in tight kitchen layouts.

From an operational standpoint, the TSSU-72-18-HC offers several practical advantages:

• Eighteen 1/6 GN pan positions allow substantial ingredient variety without mid-service restocking
• Triple-door cabinet provides accessible backup cold storage within arm's reach of the prep line
• Hardcoat aluminium interior holds up well against the cleaning demands of a busy prep station
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant meets current environmental compliance requirements
• Worktop surface provides usable prep space when pan positions are not fully loaded

Installation requires careful planning. The unit needs a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance. True prep counters of this type are generally front-breathing, which offers flexibility in tighter layouts, but this should be confirmed for your specific installation. At 72 inches wide, the footprint is substantial — measuring the allocated run and checking access through doors and service corridors before delivery is strongly advisable. The unit is designed for temperature-controlled indoor kitchen environments and is not suited to outdoor or unheated spaces.

This counter is well suited to medium to high-volume operations where a dedicated prep station sees consistent daily use — pizza restaurants, delis, sandwich bars, hotel kitchens, and catering operations with high ingredient throughput. For lower-volume sites or kitchens where space is limited, a single or twin-door version in the same range may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume operations running multiple prep stations simultaneously, it is worth considering whether additional refrigerated prep capacity would be needed to support service without compromise.
