The Atosa YBF9218GR is a full-height, double door upright refrigerator built for continuous use in commercial kitchens. It provides a large chilled storage capacity within a single self-contained cabinet — a practical solution for operations that need to hold bulk ingredients, prepared foods, and dairy products close to service without relying on several smaller units scattered across the kitchen.
The top-mounted motor unit is a considered design choice for working kitchen environments. Positioning the condenser above the cabinet keeps it away from floor-level grease, steam, and cleaning water — all of which accelerate wear on bottom-mounted units in active kitchens. The ventilated cooling system helps maintain consistent internal temperatures during service, when doors are opened frequently, and the unit is rated for operation in high-ambient conditions — an important factor where surrounding cooking equipment raises the temperature significantly during a rush.
Several practical details reduce the daily burden on kitchen teams:
- Radius interior corners reduce debris traps and make cleaning faster
- Self-closing, lockable doors support temperature discipline and food safety compliance
- Recessed door handles reduce snagging risk in tighter service corridors
- Interior light and evaporator fan cut out on door opening, reducing unnecessary energy draw
- Fitted castors allow the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning behind and underneath
The cabinet uses 430-grade stainless steel on both the interior and exterior. This is a sound specification for most commercial environments, though it is worth noting that 430 stainless is less corrosion-resistant than 304 grade — kitchens with persistently wet conditions or heavy salt exposure should factor that into their decision.
This cabinet suits mid-sized operations well: restaurants, hotel kitchens, catering production units, and similar environments where a large, reliable cold store is needed without the footprint of a walk-in. Adequate clearance around the top-mounted condenser is important for sustained performance, so placement against a wall or in a tight alcove needs to be assessed carefully before installation. Smaller operations may find a single door model better proportioned to their actual storage demand, while higher-volume sites running continuous prep across multiple sections may need additional cold storage capacity alongside this unit.
If you want to talk through how this cabinet fits your kitchen layout and storage workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Atosa YBF9237GR is a three-door upright refrigerator designed to provide substantial chilled storage within a single self-contained cabinet. Constructed in stainless steel throughout the interior and exterior, it is built to the standard expected of a commercial unit that will be in daily use across long service periods. The top-mounted motor configuration makes it particularly well suited to kitchens where ambient temperatures run high — it is rated to operate reliably in warm, humid conditions, which is a practical advantage in busy or poorly ventilated kitchen environments.
In a working kitchen, the real strength of a cabinet this size is its ability to hold consistent temperatures across a large storage volume during sustained service. The ventilated cooling system promotes even temperature distribution throughout the interior, which matters when doors are being opened regularly and stock is being rotated throughout the day. Self-closing, lockable doors support temperature discipline during peak periods, and both the evaporator fan and interior light cut out automatically on door opening — a small but meaningful contribution to energy efficiency over a full shift.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- Radius interior corners throughout the cabinet simplify daily cleaning and reduce bacterial harbourage
- Recessed door handles reduce snagging risk in tighter kitchen layouts
- Fitted castors allow repositioning and easier cleaning behind the unit
- Digital controller and display provide clear, unambiguous temperature monitoring
- Lockable doors support stock security in shared or multi-team kitchens
The unit runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply, which simplifies installation in most commercial premises. No fixed anchoring is required thanks to the castors, but adequate clearance around the top-mounted motor is important — restricted airflow around the condenser will affect cooling performance and long-term reliability. Given the physical size of the cabinet, it is worth confirming access through doorways and service corridors before delivery, particularly in older or listed buildings.
This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations that need a significant amount of accessible refrigerated storage in one place — busy pub kitchens, hotel back-of-house, contract catering sites, and high-throughput restaurant prep areas are all typical applications. It is especially practical where a single large-capacity unit is preferable to running several smaller cabinets across the same footprint. For sites where refrigeration is under near-constant pressure throughout the day, it is worth considering whether an even larger configuration would be a better long-term fit.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your kitchen layout and service demands, the team is happy to help you work through it before you commit.
£1,210.00(£1,452.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 1200Ltr upright gastro fridge is a full-height refrigerated cabinet designed for commercial kitchens that need to store and access large volumes of chilled product quickly. It uses a stable door configuration — meaning each full-height door is divided into an upper and lower half — giving four independently opening panels across the two bays. This allows staff to access one section without disturbing the temperature in another, which matters in busy prep and service environments. The cabinet accepts 2/1 GN trays throughout, making it a practical fit alongside combi ovens, blast chillers, and cold rooms that operate on the same tray standard.
In service, the forced-air cooling system supports consistent temperature recovery after door openings, which is one of the more demanding conditions a fridge faces in a working kitchen. The cabinet holds between -2°C and 8°C, making it suitable across dairy, prepared foods, and general chilled storage. Self-closing doors reduce the risk of accidental temperature drift during a busy shift, and automatic heated defrost removes one routine task from the maintenance schedule. The stainless steel construction holds up well under daily cleaning and the kind of incidental contact that is unavoidable in an active kitchen.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Stable door design lets staff access one shelf zone without opening the full cabinet
- 2/1 GN compatibility means trays transfer directly between fridge, oven, and blast chiller
- Forced-air system supports temperature recovery during high-frequency door openings
- Heavy-duty castors allow the unit to be moved for thorough cleaning underneath and behind
- Digital controller gives straightforward temperature management without specialist knowledge
At 163kg and with an overall footprint requiring clear access on all sides for ventilation and door swing, this cabinet needs considered placement. It is rated to climate class 5, which means it is suitable for warmer kitchen environments — a useful consideration for kitchens with limited air conditioning. The R600a refrigerant system carries a B energy rating, which is worth factoring into running cost projections for a unit of this capacity. Electrical connection requirements should be confirmed at the planning stage, and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser area should be maintained to preserve cooling performance.
This cabinet is well suited to high-volume operations — hotel kitchens, central production units, large restaurant groups, and contract catering sites — where bulk chilled storage needs to be accessible quickly and managed across multiple stations. Smaller operations with more modest storage needs may find a single-bay upright fridge more appropriate, while sites running large banqueting or production volumes at pace might benefit from reviewing higher-capacity options in the range.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout, tray volume, or workflow, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£1,310.00(£1,572.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series double door upright refrigerator is a large-capacity forced air cabinet designed for professional kitchens that need to store significant volumes of fresh and chilled produce in a single, accessible unit. With a net capacity of just over 1,150 litres across two full-height doors, it sits firmly in the category of high-volume reach-in refrigeration — the kind of unit typically found in hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, large restaurant back-of-house areas, and busy food production environments.
Forced air circulation is the defining performance characteristic here. Rather than relying on static cooling, the fan-assisted system actively distributes cold air throughout the cabinet, which helps maintain a consistent temperature across all shelf levels even during busy service when doors are being opened frequently. This matters in practice: temperature stratification — where the top shelves run noticeably warmer than the bottom — is a common issue in passive cabinets and can affect food safety compliance. The G-Series is rated for use in ambient environments up to a climate class 5 classification, which makes it a practical choice for warmer kitchen environments where some refrigerators struggle to hold temperature reliably.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several characteristics that suit a working kitchen environment:
- Adjustable shelving allows the interior to be configured around your actual stock — tall gastronorm containers, sheet trays, or loose produce as needed
- Self-closing, lockable doors help maintain cabinet temperature between access points and support stock security
- Front-mounted digital controls allow temperature monitoring and adjustment without specialist tools
- Stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene standards and handles the daily wear of a commercial kitchen
- Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning during deep cleans without requiring the unit to be fully emptied
On installation, this is a substantial piece of equipment. At over 160kg and standing above two metres tall, it requires adequate ceiling clearance and a level, load-bearing floor — worth confirming before delivery. It runs on a standard single-phase supply, but the exact circuit requirements should be checked against your existing kitchen services. Ventilation clearance around the unit should be maintained to allow the condenser to dissipate heat effectively; restricting airflow around the cabinet will reduce efficiency and can shorten compressor life. The unit uses R600a refrigerant, which is a low-global-warming-potential gas and in line with current environmental compliance expectations.
This cabinet is well suited to operations with high daily throughput of chilled ingredients — catering companies, large restaurants, hotel kitchens, and central production units where a single high-capacity unit is preferable to running several smaller ones. It is less well suited to smaller kitchens where the footprint cannot be accommodated comfortably, or operations where chilled storage needs are modest. For sites with lower volume requirements, a single-door or smaller-capacity unit would be a more proportionate choice; equally, very high-volume or multi-kitchen operations may want to consider heavier-duty or multi-section alternatives.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to a purchase.
£2,117.00(£2,540.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series 1300-litre upright double door cabinet is a dual-function refrigeration unit that can operate as either a refrigerator or a freezer, selectable via the digital controller. With a usable capacity of 954 litres across six adjustable shelves, and compatibility with 2/1 GN gastronorm trays, it is one of the more practical large-format cabinets available for kitchens that need genuine bulk storage flexibility without committing to a fixed-function unit.
In busy service environments, the forced-air cooling system supports reliable temperature recovery after repeated door openings — a relevant consideration in kitchens where the cabinet is accessed frequently throughout the day. The unit is rated to climate class 5, meaning it maintains stable performance in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, which is relevant for kitchens without air conditioning or in warmer locations. The R290 refrigerant keeps the unit in line with current environmental standards. Automatic electronic defrost reduces the need for manual intervention and helps maintain consistent performance over time.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers a number of practical advantages:
- Switchable fridge/freezer function reduces the need for two separate units
- 2/1 GN compatibility allows direct transfer of trays between prep areas and storage
- Self-closing doors from 90° help preserve temperature and reduce energy use
- Lockable castors allow repositioning without permanently fixing the unit
- Lockable, reversible doors support different kitchen layouts and access requirements
At 208kg, installation planning matters. The unit requires a level, load-bearing floor and adequate clearance for ventilation and door swing across its 1420mm width. It runs on a standard electrical supply — confirm your circuit capacity before installation, particularly if the unit will run in freezer mode. There is no water or gas connection required.
This cabinet suits high-volume operations — hotel kitchens, event catering facilities, larger restaurant or pub kitchens, and central production units — where bulk cold storage is needed and the ability to switch between refrigeration and freezing adds genuine operational value. For smaller kitchens with more modest storage requirements, a single-door or lower-capacity unit would be a more proportionate choice. For sites needing fixed, dedicated freezer or fridge capacity at higher volumes, separate purpose-built units may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout or storage requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,058.00(£1,269.60 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series double door upright fridge is a large-format reach-in refrigeration cabinet designed for commercial kitchens that need to hold substantial volumes of chilled produce, dairy, and prepared food at consistent, safe temperatures. With a usable capacity of 1152 litres across a 2/1 GN double configuration, it is built to serve kitchens where fridge space is a genuine operational constraint rather than an afterthought.
Forced-air circulation is the key to reliable performance in a busy environment. Rather than relying on passive cold air settlement, the system actively moves chilled air around every shelf level, which matters when doors are being opened repeatedly during a service period. The cabinet is rated for ambient environments up to climate class 5, making it a practical choice for kitchens that run hot — a common consideration in busy cooking environments that is often overlooked when selecting refrigeration.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G-Series is straightforward to work with:
- Adjustable shelving supports flexible storage layouts for different produce types and container sizes
- Self-closing lockable doors help maintain temperature and support basic security requirements
- Front-mounted digital controller allows quick temperature checks without interrupting workflow
- Automatic defrost reduces the maintenance burden on kitchen staff
- Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning for cleaning without requiring additional equipment
Installation requires adequate clearance on all sides for ventilation — this is a unit of considerable size and weight, and placement should be planned carefully before delivery. The painted steel exterior is durable under normal commercial use, though it warrants the same routine care as any painted surface in a kitchen environment. The R600a refrigerant used is low global-warming-potential, which contributes to the cabinet's B energy rating and lower ongoing running costs relative to older refrigerant types.
This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens — hotels, contract catering operations, busy restaurants, and pub kitchens with high daily throughput. It offers more holding capacity than a single-door upright whilst stopping short of a full walk-in solution. For smaller operations, a single-door model may be more appropriate; for very high-volume sites with significant storage demands, a larger or multi-unit configuration is worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
£1,863.00(£2,235.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series 1300 litre double door upright refrigerator is a large-format reach-in fridge built for commercial kitchens that need serious cold storage capacity without sacrificing reliability or running efficiency. Constructed throughout in stainless steel, it houses six adjustable shelves and is fully 2/1 gastronorm compatible, meaning standard prep containers, trays and pans slot in directly without the need for adapters or workarounds.
In practice, the forced air cooling system distributes temperature consistently across the full cabinet depth, which matters in a kitchen where doors are opened repeatedly during a busy service. The unit is rated to maintain performance in ambient temperatures up to 40°C — a relevant consideration for kitchens where the environment around refrigeration can warm significantly during peak periods. The 90mm insulation and auto defrost function both contribute to keeping running costs in check over time, which is worth factoring in when comparing upfront purchase price against long-term energy spend.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several features that make day-to-day use and hygiene management straightforward:
- Self-closing doors with removable magnetic seals simplify cleaning and help maintain consistent temperature when staff are moving quickly through service
- Digital controller with LED display gives clear, at-a-glance temperature monitoring
- Lockable castors allow the unit to be repositioned for deep cleaning or repositioned during a refit
- Lockable doors support basic stock security in shared or multi-team environments
At 198kg, installation planning is important. The unit requires a level, load-bearing floor and sufficient clearance around the cabinet for air circulation and door swing. At 1420mm wide, confirm the available run of wall space before ordering, and ensure access routes from delivery point to final position can accommodate both the dimensions and the weight.
This cabinet is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations and any high-volume site that needs to hold a substantial quantity of chilled product in a single organised unit. It is less appropriate for tight prep kitchens or sites with limited floor space. For operations needing more modest storage, smaller single-door alternatives are available in the range; equally, sites with very high throughput or multiple sections may benefit from considering a multi-unit setup or a heavier-specification model.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet suits your layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£3,483.00(£4,179.60 inc VAT)
The Hoshizaki Premier M 140 C U is a large-capacity double door upright refrigerator designed for professional commercial kitchens where consistent chilled storage and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. With a generous internal volume, it provides the kind of accessible, well-organised cold storage that busy operations depend on through every service period. It is built to Hoshizaki's Premier series standard, which places particular emphasis on robust construction and sustained performance under continuous use.
In a working kitchen environment, what matters is that a refrigerator holds temperature reliably when doors are opened frequently during service, when the kitchen ambient temperature rises, and when it is loaded close to capacity. The Premier series is rated to Climate Class 5, meaning it is engineered to operate in ambient conditions up to 40°C — a realistic consideration for many commercial kitchen environments where background heat from cooking equipment is unavoidable. This makes it well suited to kitchens that struggle with heat management, where lesser cabinets can lose their ability to recover temperature quickly.
From an operational standpoint, the Premier M 140 C U offers several practical advantages for kitchen teams:
- Solid door hinges and stainless steel construction that withstand the wear of a busy kitchen
- Low-height cabinet profile with castor compatibility, useful where ceiling clearance is restricted
- High internal volume relative to its footprint, making efficient use of floor space
- Consistent temperature maintenance suited to meat storage applications
- A-rated energy classification, which helps manage running costs over the long term
In terms of installation, the unit requires adequate clearance for door swing on both sides and sufficient ventilation around the condenser. As with any large upright cabinet, access routes and doorway widths should be confirmed before delivery. The castor option is worth considering where the unit needs to be moved for cleaning or reconfigured periodically. It is worth discussing drainage and electrical supply requirements with your installation team before the unit arrives on site.
This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens — hotels, restaurants, contract catering operations, and butchery or meat-focused kitchens where the temperature range and build quality are particularly relevant. For smaller operations with more modest storage requirements, a single door or lower-capacity model may be more appropriate. For very high-volume sites running multiple sections, it is worth considering whether additional units or a higher-capacity alternative would better support the workflow.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout, service volume, or storage requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
£3,381.00(£4,057.20 inc VAT)
The Hoshizaki Premier K 140 C U is a large-capacity double door upright refrigerator designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable, consistent chilled storage across busy service periods. Built to operate in ambient conditions up to 40°C, it is well suited to hot kitchen environments where many standard cabinets begin to struggle. The internal volume provides substantial usable storage across both compartments, making it practical for high-turnover kitchens where stock rotation and access speed both matter.
Hoshizaki has a strong reputation in commercial refrigeration, and the Premier series reflects that. The cabinet is built with solid door hinges, a robust stainless steel exterior and a finish that holds up well under daily kitchen use. In busy operations, this kind of structural integrity matters — poorly built doors and hinges are among the most common failure points on upright refrigeration, and the Premier series is designed with that in mind. The unit is available on castors rather than fixed legs, which aids positioning in kitchens with lower ceiling clearances and makes cleaning and repositioning more straightforward.
From a practical standpoint, the Premier K 140 C U offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Climate Class 5 rating makes it reliable in hot and humid kitchen environments
- Double door configuration allows simultaneous access without losing temperature across the full cabinet
- Castor-mounted base aids repositioning and under-unit cleaning
- Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and resists the knocks of daily service
- High internal volume relative to footprint makes efficient use of floor space
In terms of installation, this is a freestanding electric unit, so the main consideration is adequate floor space, a suitable power supply, and sufficient clearance around the cabinet for ventilation — particularly at the rear and top. As with most upright refrigeration of this size, it should be positioned away from direct heat sources such as ovens and fryers where possible. The castor option is worth specifying if you anticipate needing to move the unit for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration.
The Premier K 140 C U is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens in hotels, restaurants, contract catering operations and central production units where consistent chilled storage at volume is a daily requirement. If your operation is smaller and this capacity exceeds your realistic stock volume, there are more compact alternatives in the range. Equally, sites with exceptionally high throughput or walk-in requirements may benefit from considering a different format altogether.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£1,008.00(£1,209.60 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series double door upright refrigerator is a large-format chilled storage cabinet designed for commercial kitchens that need straightforward, reliable refrigeration across a wide range of food categories. With a 744-litre capacity across two lockable doors, it is well suited to sites where consistent cold storage volume is a daily operational requirement rather than an occasional need.
Forced air cooling circulates throughout the cabinet, helping to maintain an even temperature across all shelf levels and recovering quickly after the doors have been opened during busy service periods. This is particularly important in kitchens where the fridge is accessed frequently throughout the day. The automatic defrost function removes the need for manual intervention, keeping the cabinet running efficiently without adding to cleaning workloads.
From a practical standpoint, the cabinet offers a number of features that translate well into day-to-day kitchen use:
- Eight adjustable shelves allow the internal layout to be configured around your specific storage needs
- The ABS interior is straightforward to clean down between service periods
- 60mm insulation supports energy efficiency across longer operating hours
- Lockable doors help maintain stock security in busy back-of-house environments
- Rear rollers make repositioning the unit easier during deep cleaning
In terms of installation, the cabinet operates on a standard single-phase supply and uses R290 refrigerant, which carries a very low global warming potential. It is rated to Climate Class 4, making it suitable for warmer kitchen environments. At 114kg, two people will typically be needed for positioning, and adequate clearance at the rear and sides should be factored in for airflow and servicing access. At just over 585mm deep, it fits reasonably well within standard back-of-house layouts without projecting excessively.
This cabinet is a practical choice for restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, and similar sites where a reliable double-door upright fridge is needed without unnecessary complexity. It sits within the mid-range of the Polar C-Series lineup — for sites with heavier throughput or more demanding ambient conditions, it is worth discussing whether a higher-specification model would be more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this cabinet matches your kitchen's storage demands or layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£1,109.00(£1,330.80 inc VAT)
The Polar C-Series double door upright refrigerator is a large-format reach-in chilled storage cabinet designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable, straightforward refrigeration across a meaningful volume of product. With 744 litres of internal capacity spread across eight adjustable shelves, it gives operators genuine flexibility in how they organise dairy produce, prepped ingredients, and service-ready items without constant reorganisation.
Inside, forced air circulation keeps temperatures consistent throughout the cabinet rather than relying on passive cold air settling at lower levels. This matters in a working kitchen where doors are opened repeatedly during prep and service — the system works to restore temperature quickly after each access, which helps maintain food safety margins during busy periods. The automatic defrost cycle handles frost build-up without manual intervention, keeping performance steady and avoiding the downtime that comes with neglected manual defrost units. The ABS interior lining is straightforward to clean down at the end of service, with no awkward joints or recesses to trap debris.
From a practical standpoint, this cabinet offers several features that support day-to-day kitchen operation:
- Lockable double doors help protect stock security in shared or multi-team environments
- Full-length door handles make access easy when carrying trays or containers
- 60mm insulation contributes to energy efficiency across long operating hours
- Rear rollers allow the unit to be repositioned for cleaning without a full team lift
- R290 refrigerant carries a very low global warming potential, relevant where environmental compliance is a consideration
The cabinet runs on a standard single-phase supply and is finished in white coated steel, which suits kitchens where appearance in front-of-house or semi-open settings matters. At 114kg, it requires a solid, level floor surface and adequate clearance for ventilation around the unit. It is rated to Climate Class 4, meaning it is suitable for use in warmer ambient kitchen environments up to around 43°C — worth confirming if the unit will be positioned near cooking equipment. The energy rating is D, which is typical for a cabinet of this size in active commercial use.
This model is well suited to mid-sized kitchens — busy café kitchens, pub operations, hotel prep areas, and catering establishments where a single large-capacity unit is preferable to multiple smaller fridges. It is positioned as a practical, workaday cabinet rather than an intensive high-cycle unit; kitchens running continuous high-volume service across extended shifts may find a heavier-duty specification more appropriate for their throughput demands.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout and service pattern, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you commit.
£2,443.00(£2,931.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series double door upright refrigerator is a large-format storage cabinet designed for commercial kitchens that need serious chilled capacity in a single footprint. With 1400 litres of total capacity and a usable figure of 980 litres, it suits operations that move high volumes of perishable stock and need that stock consistently accessible across a full service period.
In practice, forced-air cooling keeps temperatures stable throughout the cabinet even during busy service when doors are being opened frequently. The unit carries a climate class 5 rating, meaning it maintains reliable performance in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 40°C — a relevant consideration for kitchens where heat builds up around cooking lines. The R290 refrigerant and A energy rating mean running costs are meaningfully lower than older or less efficient cabinets of comparable size, which matters when a unit of this scale is running continuously.
From an operational standpoint, several practical details are worth noting:
- Stainless steel construction inside and out supports easy cleaning and long-term durability in demanding environments
- Pressed side panels with 52 shelf positions at 5cm intervals allow flexible stock organisation without additional runners
- 2/1 GN tray compatibility means gastronorm containers can hang directly on the runners, reducing the need for extra shelf hardware
- Internal LED lighting aids stock visibility and monitoring without adding heat load
- Lockable doors and heavy-duty castors support both security and routine repositioning for cleaning
Installation is straightforward for a cabinet of this class, but the footprint and weight of 260kg mean floor loading and access routes should be assessed before delivery. The unit operates on a standard electrical supply, but the space required — and the need for adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet — should be factored into kitchen planning. It is not suited to low-ceiling or very confined back-of-house areas without proper assessment.
This refrigerator is well suited to high-volume restaurants, hotel kitchens, event catering operations, and central production units where large chilled storage capacity is a daily operational requirement. Kitchens with more modest throughput may find a single-door or smaller-capacity cabinet a better fit, while very large sites running multiple sections might consider whether additional separate units better serve their workflow than a single large cabinet.
If you are weighing up whether this cabinet suits your kitchen layout and service volumes, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
£1,210.00(£1,452.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series double door slimline fridge is a full-height upright refrigeration cabinet designed for commercial kitchens where usable floor space is restricted. At 710mm deep, it occupies significantly less floor depth than a standard double-door cabinet while still offering a genuine 960 litres of total storage capacity — a combination that makes it a practical choice when the available run of wall or corner space is limited but storage demand is high.
In busy kitchen environments, this unit is well suited to sustained daily use. The G-Series range is built for frequent door access across a full service day, and the climate class 4 rating confirms it can operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — relevant for kitchens where ventilation is imperfect or seasonal temperatures are a consideration. The R290 refrigerant and self-closing, lockable doors support consistent temperature maintenance between -2°C and 5°C, which covers dairy, prepared foods, and general chilled storage.
From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- Slim 710mm depth frees up aisle or prep space without sacrificing storage volume
- Self-closing doors reduce the risk of temperatures drifting during a busy service
- Lockable doors suit kitchens where stock security or compliance requires it
- Digital temperature control allows straightforward monitoring without specialist knowledge
- Heavy-duty castors enable repositioning and thorough cleaning underneath the unit
Installation is relatively straightforward — this is a plug-in unit requiring a standard electrical supply, with no gas or water connections needed. At 165kg, positioning should be planned before the unit is fully loaded, and the castors are designed to assist with this. The stainless steel and aluminium construction is practical for cleaning and holds up well in demanding environments. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the condenser for airflow; restricted ventilation will reduce efficiency and place unnecessary load on the compressor.
This cabinet is well suited to small to medium-sized restaurants, cafés, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where space is at a premium but a meaningful chilled storage volume is still required. It is less likely to be the right choice for high-turnover sites with very large daily prep volumes — operations of that scale may find a deeper, higher-capacity cabinet more appropriate for their throughput.
If you are unsure whether the capacity or footprint is right for your kitchen layout, the team are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Polar G-Series 1200Ltr gastro refrigerator is a large-format upright reach-in cabinet designed to meet the cold storage demands of a full commercial service operation. Four stable doors provide access to the interior in pairs, and the cabinet accommodates up to twenty 2/1 gastronorm trays, making it a practical choice for kitchens where tray movement between cold storage, preparation, and cooking equipment is a regular part of service.
In practice, the fan-assisted cooling system maintains consistent temperatures even during the repeated door openings that are unavoidable in a busy kitchen. The climate class 4 rating means the unit is designed to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 32°C — a meaningful consideration for kitchens that run warm or lack adequate air conditioning. Recovery after access is steady rather than laboured, which matters during extended service periods when the cabinet may be opened frequently across multiple sections.
The operational advantages of this cabinet centre on workflow and temperature discipline:
- Stable door configuration limits temperature loss by exposing only half the cabinet at a time
- Direct 2/1 GN tray compatibility removes the need to decant between stations
- Four independently lockable doors support controlled access in shared kitchen environments
- Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across all shelf levels
- Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning for thorough cleaning underneath and behind
This is a substantial unit that requires careful planning before installation. The 180kg weight warrants a check on floor loading, particularly in older or refurbished premises. Rear ventilation clearance is required, and the drain arrangement should be confirmed ahead of delivery. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply, but it is worth verifying the connection point is suitably located before scheduling installation.
This cabinet is best suited to mid-to-large operations — hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, pub and restaurant kitchens with high covers, or central cold stores shared across multiple sections. Where only a single section requires dedicated cold storage, a two-door unit from the same range may be more proportionate. For very high-volume sites or multi-temperature requirements, it is worth a conversation about whether a different configuration would serve the workflow better.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is glad to help you think it through before you proceed.

The Hoshizaki Advance K 140-4 C DR U is a 1200-litre double door upright refrigerator designed for sustained commercial use. It uses a monoblock refrigeration system, meaning the evaporator and condenser are integrated into a single unit rather than a split arrangement. This reduces the number of components that can fail in service and simplifies routine maintenance. The interior is finished in stainless steel with rounded internal edges, which makes thorough cleaning at the end of service straightforward.
In a working kitchen, this cabinet handles consistent chilled storage across prep, service, and holding stages. The airflow guide distributes cold air evenly across all shelf positions, which helps maintain stable temperatures even when doors are opened frequently during a busy service. The automatic door closing mechanism reduces the risk of doors being left ajar — a common cause of temperature drift and unnecessary energy draw in high-traffic kitchens. LED lighting keeps the interior clearly visible without adding heat load to the cabinet.
From an operational standpoint, several details are worth noting:
- Removable door gaskets simplify cleaning and replacement without specialist tools
- Door lock provides basic security for high-value or controlled ingredients
- Castors allow repositioning without heavy lifting, useful during deep cleans or layout changes
- Low noise output makes it practical in open kitchen or front-of-house settings
- Moulded shelf supports keep shelves correctly positioned under load
The cabinet runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires no remote condenser installation. It does need adequate clearance at the rear and above for ventilation — confirm this before positioning it in a tight run. Check the overall height against any overhead shelving or extraction canopy before delivery.
This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large operations — hotels, contract caterers, pub kitchens, and busy restaurant services — where a high-capacity single-section upright fits the workflow better than multiple smaller units. If your storage requirement is more modest, a single-door cabinet would likely be more practical and energy-efficient. Sites with very high throughput and near-constant door cycling may benefit from a heavier-duty model with a more powerful refrigeration circuit.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your kitchen layout or storage volumes before ordering, the team is happy to help.
£2,637.00(£3,164.40 inc VAT)
The Sterling Pro Vantage XPI142V is a large-capacity double door upright refrigeration cabinet built for commercial kitchens where reliable, consistent chilled storage is a daily operational requirement. The full stainless steel interior and exterior make it a practical, robust unit intended for professional food service environments rather than light or occasional use.
In a busy kitchen, a cabinet of this size earns its place during high-turnover service periods where bulk quantities of dairy, prepared ingredients, or raw goods need to stay consistently within safe temperature range. The forced draft evaporator helps maintain even cooling across all shelf positions — particularly relevant when doors are being opened repeatedly during service. The R290a refrigerant operates quietly and efficiently, and its characteristics contribute to longer compressor life compared with older refrigerant types, which is a worthwhile consideration when thinking about total cost of ownership over several years of commercial use.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design details help reduce friction during service and cleaning:
- Rounded interior corners reduce debris accumulation, supporting easier cleaning and hygiene compliance
- Removable push-in/pull-out door gaskets allow thorough cleaning without tools
- 24 grid-level shelf positions allow flexible loading to suit different container sizes and workflows
- Auto-closing hinged doors limit accidental temperature loss during busy periods
- Runs on a standard 13A supply, avoiding the need for dedicated electrical installation in most kitchens
This cabinet is well suited to medium and larger operations — pub kitchens, hotel back-of-house, contract catering facilities, and busy restaurant environments. Its footprint is substantial, so it is worth confirming available floor space, door swing clearance, and ventilation allowances before ordering. For smaller kitchens or those with limited space, a single door or slimmer configuration may be more practical. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume operations with greater throughput demands may find a heavier-duty or multi-unit arrangement better suited to their requirements.
If you would like to talk through whether the XPI142V fits your layout and storage needs before placing an order, the team is happy to help.

The Sterling Pro Cobus SPR212PV is a large-capacity double door upright refrigerator designed for professional catering use. At 1200 litres and with full gastronorm compatibility, it is built to hold substantial volumes of fresh produce, dairy, raw meat and prepared foods within a single cabinet — a practical solution for kitchens that need serious chilled storage without running multiple smaller units side by side.
In a busy service environment, temperature consistency is the most critical factor in both food safety and quality. The SPR212PV uses a ventilated cooling system that circulates chilled air evenly across all shelf levels, rather than relying on static cold zones that can develop in fan-less cabinets. This makes a meaningful difference during service, when doors are opened repeatedly in quick succession. The Cubigel compressor is a well-regarded component found across professional refrigeration equipment and supports reliable continuous operation over long kitchen shifts.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet is designed to minimise unnecessary intervention:
- Automatic defrost cycle reduces manual maintenance and keeps the unit running efficiently
- Internal LED lighting supports quick stock checks without opening both doors at once
- Six adjustable shelves allow flexible configuration for different GN container layouts
- R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant supports lower running costs and a reduced environmental footprint
- Full stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to keep clean to kitchen hygiene standards
As a freestanding unit, installation is relatively uncomplicated — a standard single-phase mains connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser are the primary requirements. That said, a cabinet of this capacity carries a significant footprint, so it is worth confirming available floor space and ceiling height before ordering. Access routes through doorways and corridors during delivery should also be checked in advance. The unit is not designed for placement in high-ambient areas, so siting away from ovens, fryers and direct heat sources is advisable.
The SPR212PV is well suited to mid-to-large operations — busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract caterers, event kitchens and production environments where a high daily turnover of fresh ingredients demands dependable, high-volume chilled storage in a single unit. For smaller kitchens or lower-volume services, a single door or reduced-capacity cabinet is likely to be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume central production sites, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or higher-capacity option would better serve the operation long term.
If you would like to talk through whether the SPR212PV is the right fit for your kitchen layout, storage volumes or service pattern, the team is happy to help before you make a decision.
£1,704.00(£2,044.80 inc VAT)
The Sterling Pro SPI142 is a large-capacity double-door upright refrigeration cabinet built for commercial kitchens that need substantial, dependable chilled storage without moving to a walk-in solution. Constructed from stainless steel throughout and manufactured in Europe, it accepts full GN2/1 shelving, making it a practical fit wherever gastronorm compatibility runs through prep and service workflows.
In a working kitchen, consistent temperature maintenance under repeated door openings is what makes refrigeration reliable or problematic. The SPI142 uses a forced-air circulation system to distribute cold air evenly across the full cabinet interior, which helps it hold stable temperatures during periods of frequent access — a common pressure point during busy service. Auto defrost handles itself without manual intervention, removing a maintenance overhead and avoiding the temperature spikes that manual defrost cycles can introduce.
Several design choices reflect genuine kitchen use rather than specification-sheet thinking:
- Rounded interior edges reduce harbourage points and make thorough cleaning quicker
- Full-length integrated handles are easier to operate with full hands and accumulate less grime
- Lockable doors with replaceable gaskets support access control and extend seal working life
- Castors fitted as standard allow repositioning during deep cleans or layout changes
- Hydrocarbon refrigerant aligns with current UK environmental and regulatory direction
The SPI142 runs on a standard single-phase supply. It requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for airflow — positioning it flush against a wall or adjacent unit without that clearance will affect performance. The castors make placement straightforward, but a unit of this size carries considerable weight, so floor loading and access routes are worth considering before delivery is booked. If your kitchen ambient temperature runs particularly high, it is worth discussing that before ordering.
This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large operations — busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering sites, and central production units where significant chilled capacity is needed day-to-day. Smaller operations with more modest throughput may find a single-door cabinet a more proportionate choice, while very high-volume sites may benefit from stepping up to a larger multi-door option within the range.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout and service volume, the team is happy to work through it with you before you decide.
£1,790.00(£2,148.00 inc VAT)
The Sterling Pro SPI122 is a full-height, double door gastronorm refrigeration cabinet offering 1200 litres of usable cold storage across two independently sealed sections. It runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with 50mm injected insulation throughout, which keeps energy consumption reasonable without compromising holding temperature during busy service periods. This is a practical, workhorse cabinet built for continuous use in professional kitchens.
In a working kitchen environment, a cabinet of this size is typically deployed as primary cold storage in mid-to-large operations. The forced-draft evaporator maintains consistent temperature distribution across the full interior, which matters when the cabinet is being opened repeatedly throughout a service — a common reality in high-throughput kitchens. The two independently sealed doors also mean one section can be accessed without affecting temperature stability in the other.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the SPI122 has several practical characteristics worth noting:
- Stainless steel interior and exterior — durable and straightforward to clean down at end of service
- Rounded internal edges reduce dirt traps and speed up cleaning routines
- Removable magnetic door gaskets can be pulled and cleaned without tools
- 18 grid-level positions give flexibility across full GN trays and smaller prep containers
- Self-closing doors with full-length integrated handles reduce the risk of doors being left ajar during service
The cabinet is designed for a standard single-phase electrical supply. The condensing unit sits beneath the cabinet, which keeps the top surface clear and avoids heat discharge at head height — a useful consideration in kitchens where ceiling clearance or overhead extraction is already constrained. The relatively shallow depth helps in tighter layouts, but you should still confirm the footprint against your available run before ordering.
The SPI122 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and central production units where a reliable, high-capacity fridge is needed as an everyday workhorse. For smaller operations with more modest throughput, a single-door cabinet may be a more appropriate fit. Equally, very high-volume sites with demanding stock rotation requirements may benefit from looking at a heavier-duty or higher-capacity option.
If you'd like to talk through whether this cabinet is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service demands, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£3,625.00(£4,350.00 inc VAT)
The True TGN-2R-2S is a large-format, two-door upright reach-in refrigerator built around 2/1 gastronorm compatibility. With 1440 litres of chilled storage split across two independently accessed compartments, it is designed to meet the refrigeration demands of professional kitchens where volume, consistency, and workflow efficiency are genuine day-to-day requirements.
True Refrigeration has a well-established reputation in commercial refrigeration, and the TGN-2R-2S reflects the build quality the brand is known for. The cabinet is constructed to withstand repeated door openings throughout a busy service, heavy loading after deliveries, and the general demands of a working kitchen. The refrigeration system maintains consistent temperatures across the full interior, which matters when holding dairy, prepped ingredients, and temperature-sensitive mise en place through a full service period.
The 2/1 GN internal configuration is where this cabinet earns its place in a professional operation. Kitchens working with full gastronorm pans can move directly from prep to storage and back without decanting, saving time at both ends of service. Key operational benefits include:
- 2/1 GN compatibility removes the need to repack into smaller containers
- Two-door layout allows independent access to each compartment, reducing temperature disruption
- Consistent internal temperature supports reliable cold chain management across a full service
- Robust construction handles high-frequency door use without performance degradation
- Stainless steel exterior wipes down quickly and holds up well under daily use
Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Given the overall size and weight of the unit, access routes into the kitchen — doorways, corridors, and any level changes — should be measured and confirmed well before delivery. The cabinet is intended for indoor, ventilated environments only.
The TGN-2R-2S is well suited to mid-to-large operations: hotels, contract caterers, busy restaurants, and institutional kitchens where gastronorm working practices are standard and storage volume is a genuine requirement. Kitchens with lighter throughput or limited floor space may be better served by a single-door or lower-capacity cabinet, while very high-volume sites running multiple sections may find that additional units or a larger format better matches their needs.
If you would like to talk through how this cabinet fits your layout, workflow, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£2,778.00(£3,333.60 inc VAT)
The Williams Jade HJ2-SA is a large-capacity double door upright refrigerator designed for commercial kitchens that need substantial, reliable chilled storage within a single accessible cabinet. Configured for Gastronorm 2/1 shelving, it is suited to holding fresh produce, dairy, prepared dishes, and perishables safely across a full service day, reducing the need for repeated restocking from a back-of-house store.
In a working kitchen, consistent temperature across the whole cabinet matters as much as headline capacity. The HJ2-SA is built to maintain even temperatures throughout — not just near the evaporator — which becomes particularly important when product is loaded across multiple shelf heights and doors are being opened regularly during service. The CoolSmart capacitive touch controller gives kitchen teams a clear, straightforward way to manage temperature settings without adding complexity to a busy service.
Several practical features support reliable day-to-day operation:
- Enhanced internal airflow distribution maintains even temperatures across the full cabinet depth
- Thick polyurethane insulation helps sustain temperature efficiently, reducing energy demand over a long service day
- Self-closing doors with barrel locks support food safety compliance and basic stock security
- Heavy-duty swivel castors with brakes allow repositioning for cleaning without specialist assistance
- Stainless steel exterior withstands commercial cleaning regimes and general kitchen wear
The HJ2-SA is a free-standing unit and requires adequate clearance at the rear and top for ventilation and condenser airflow — this should be factored into your layout before installation. The castors offer useful flexibility for repositioning, but the cabinet's overall size and weight mean the floor needs to be level and capable of bearing the load. If your site involves restricted access, it is worth checking doorway and corridor dimensions against the cabinet's footprint before placing an order.
This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large operations — restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering facilities, and production kitchens — where consolidating chilled storage into one large-format upright makes practical sense. Smaller operations where undercounter or compact upright refrigeration would cover requirements are likely better served by a lower-capacity option. At the other end of the scale, very high-volume sites running multiple sections simultaneously may find a bank of smaller units or a walk-in solution more practical than a single cabinet of this size.
If you are weighing up whether this cabinet is the right fit for your service volume, kitchen layout, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is glad to talk it through before you commit.
£3,046.00(£3,655.20 inc VAT)
The Williams Jade MJ2-SA is a large-capacity, double-door upright refrigerator built specifically for the storage of raw meat and temperature-sensitive proteins in a commercial kitchen environment. Where a general-purpose refrigerated cabinet holds food across a broad temperature band, this unit is engineered around the tighter, more consistent conditions that raw meat requires — maintaining stable holding temperatures throughout the cabinet, not just at the sensor point.
In practice, meat cabinets face more demanding conditions than most refrigerated storage. Repeated door openings during butchery prep, deliveries arriving across a service window, and the thermal mass of dense protein cuts all place pressure on recovery performance. The Jade range is built for this kind of sustained operational demand, with airflow distribution designed to maintain uniform cooling across both chambers and avoid the warm zones or cold spots that can create compliance risks.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- Dedicated meat temperature range supports HACCP compliance and food safety record-keeping
- CoolSmart capacitive touch controller provides straightforward temperature monitoring and adjustment
- Self-closing, barrel-locked doors help maintain holding conditions and cabinet security
- Heavy-duty swivel castors with brakes allow repositioning for thorough cleaning without major disruption
- GN 2/1 compatible interior works with standard gastronorm trays used across most commercial operations
Before committing to installation, it is worth confirming that your floor space can comfortably accommodate a cabinet of this footprint and weight class. Condenser performance relies on adequate clearance around the unit — positioning it hard against a wall or in a poorly ventilated recess will affect efficiency and long-term reliability. The castors ease positioning, but this is a substantial piece of equipment and its placement should be considered carefully within the kitchen layout.
This cabinet is well suited to hotel kitchens, large restaurant operations, butchery environments, and any site where raw meat is handled in volume and dedicated segregated cold storage is a regulatory or operational requirement. For lighter-use sites, a smaller single-door meat cabinet would likely be more appropriate. At the other end of the scale, very high-throughput operations with significant daily meat volumes may find that a multi-unit arrangement or walk-in solution better fits their needs.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen — in terms of capacity, layout, or how it works alongside your existing cold storage — we are glad to help you work through it before you make a decision.
£1,636.00(£1,963.20 inc VAT)
The Atosa MBF8117HD is a double door upright refrigerator built for commercial kitchens that need dependable, high-capacity chilled storage as a core part of daily operation. It holds consistent temperatures across two full-height compartments, making it a practical workhorse for back-of-house environments where chilled produce moves at volume throughout a service period.
One of the more operationally significant design decisions on this unit is its high-ambient rating. It is built to perform reliably in kitchens with elevated heat and humidity — conditions that are not uncommon in busy or poorly ventilated back-of-house spaces, and that can cause lower-rated cabinets to struggle with temperature recovery at peak service. For kitchens where ambient temperature climbs noticeably during a lunch or dinner push, that resilience has real day-to-day value.
Several design details translate directly into operational benefit:
- Self-closing, lockable doors help maintain cabinet temperature when kitchen traffic around the unit is high
- Radius interior corners make cleaning quicker and more thorough, which supports hygiene compliance
- Door-activated interior lighting improves visibility without unnecessary energy draw
- Recessed door handles reduce snagging risk in tighter passageways
- Castors fitted as standard allow straightforward repositioning and cleaning behind the unit
The interior and exterior are finished in 304 stainless steel, which holds up well to daily cleaning with standard catering-grade products and meets the expectations of most environmental health inspections.
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit runs on standard mains power and the castors allow flexible placement without major groundwork. That said, adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet should be confirmed to allow the condenser to operate efficiently, particularly in warmer kitchen environments. The unit's footprint and weight mean access routes and floor loading are worth checking ahead of delivery, especially in older buildings or basement kitchens.
The MBF8117HD is well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — restaurant back-of-house, hotel kitchens, staff canteens, and similar sites that need dependable bulk chilled storage short of a walk-in. For smaller operations with more modest throughput, a single-door cabinet may be a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume or multi-kitchen sites, a larger-format solution may serve the operation better.
If you would like to talk through how this unit fits your kitchen layout and storage requirements, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
£3,498.00(£4,197.60 inc VAT)
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1440M is a large-capacity double-door upright refrigerator configured specifically for raw meat storage. Unlike general-purpose refrigeration, it is built to hold the tighter temperature parameters that safe meat storage demands, making it a dedicated unit rather than a flexible general store.
A cabinet of this size is suited to kitchens with meaningful daily meat throughput — hotels, large restaurants, contract caterers, and production kitchens where separating raw meat from other produce is both a food safety requirement and an operational discipline. The double-door configuration allows independent access to each section, which limits temperature loss during busy service periods compared with fully opening a single large door. Foster's EcoPro G3 platform carries a reliable reputation for maintaining stable temperatures even in warm kitchen environments, and the updated Airlines ventilation system manages compressor heat effectively, supporting consistent performance across long shifts.
Several design details carry genuine day-to-day value for kitchen teams:
- The +stayclear condenser resists dust and grease build-up, reducing maintenance frequency and sustaining efficiency over time
- 304-grade stainless steel on doors and covers handles the wear of a busy kitchen reliably
- The PureControl LED display is straightforward to monitor, with optional building management system connectivity via a gateway
- Cyclopentane insulation foam retains thermal efficiency as the cabinet ages
- The helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be repositioned for cleaning without awkward cable management
This is a freestanding cabinet and requires adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — restricting airflow around the condenser will affect both efficiency and service life. It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which covers most UK commercial kitchen environments. Access routes, doorway widths, and corridor clearances should all be confirmed ahead of delivery, as a cabinet of this size and weight requires careful positioning. A dedicated electrical supply should be verified with your installer before fitting.
This unit is well suited to medium-to-large operations where dedicated meat storage is a compliance or operational priority. Smaller kitchens with lower meat volume would likely find a single-door or reduced-capacity alternative more proportionate. For very high-volume production sites, a remote-condensing solution may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet fits your storage volume, kitchen layout, or food safety obligations, the team is happy to help before you commit.
£2,939.00(£3,526.80 inc VAT)
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP1440H is a large-capacity double door upright refrigerator designed for commercial kitchens where chilled storage volume is a genuine operational constraint. With 1350 litres of usable interior space, it is built to handle continuous loading, frequent door access, and the sustained temperature demands that come with professional kitchen use across long service periods.
A cabinet of this size earns its place where a single door unit cannot hold sufficient stock to carry a full service without restocking runs. The EcoPro G3 range has a dependable track record in busy commercial environments, holding stable temperatures even as ambient kitchen heat builds during peak service. The Airlines ventilation system improves airflow around the compressor, helping reduce running time and supporting consistent thermal performance throughout the day.
From an operational standpoint, a few features of the G3 range are worth noting:
- The +stayclear condenser resists dust build-up, helping maintain efficiency and reducing the likelihood of condenser-related call-outs over time.
- The PureControl LED display is clear and easy to operate, reducing the risk of temperature setting errors during busy service periods.
- 304 stainless steel is used on doors and covers — the areas subject to the heaviest daily wear and cleaning.
- A helicoil mains lead allows the unit to be pulled away from the wall for cleaning without disconnecting at the socket.
- Cyclopentane foam insulation supports sustained thermal efficiency across the cabinet's working life.
Installation requires adequate floor space for a full-height double door cabinet, along with sufficient rear and top clearance for ventilation. The unit is self-contained and refrigerant-charged, so no remote refrigeration system or external condenser is needed — a standard mains electrical supply is all that is required. For kitchens with restricted ceiling height or tight floor space, it is worth confirming the physical dimensions are workable before ordering. Access routes during delivery are also worth considering given the size of the cabinet.
The EP1440H is well suited to busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and large staff catering facilities where chilled storage capacity is under genuine daily pressure. For smaller operations where 1350 litres would consistently be underused, a single door model within the EcoPro G3 range is likely more appropriate. Sites running multiple service periods or very high covers should consider carefully whether this capacity fully meets their needs, or whether additional units would be a more practical approach.
If you are specifying refrigeration for a new kitchen or replacing an existing cabinet, we are glad to talk through whether this model suits your available space, workflow, and service volume before you commit.
