True T-49-HC Upright Reach-In Refrigerator 1388 Ltr

The True T-49-HC is a two-door upright reach-in refrigerator designed for heavy-duty use in professional foodservice environments. With a generous 1388-litre capacity split across two full-height doors, it provides substantial chilled storage in a relatively compact footprint — a practical choice for kitchens that need volume without the floorspace demands of a walk-in installation.

True Refrigeration has a long-established reputation in commercial kitchens for building cabinets that hold temperature consistently under demanding service conditions. The HC range is engineered with hydrocarbon refrigerant systems, which run more efficiently than older refrigerant types and are increasingly favoured where energy consumption and environmental compliance matter. In a busy kitchen, the ability to maintain stable internal temperatures even with frequent door openings during peak service is where quality refrigeration earns its keep — and the T-49-HC is built with that in mind.

From an operational standpoint, this cabinet offers several advantages worth noting:

• Consistent holding temperature supports food safety compliance and reduces waste
• Two independent door sections allow staff to access one half without warming the other
• Robust stainless steel construction withstands the knocks and cleaning regimes of a working kitchen
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant delivers lower running costs compared to older refrigerant systems
• Adjustable shelving accommodates GN containers, prep trays, and bulk storage in varying configurations

In terms of installation, the T-49-HC requires a suitable mains electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — particularly important if the unit is being positioned in a tight run or enclosed kitchen. As with any upright refrigeration cabinet of this size, floor loading and access through doorways during delivery should be assessed in advance. It is not designed for outdoor use or unheated storage areas where ambient temperatures fall outside the unit's rated range.

This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large scale catering operations — hotels, contract caterers, busy restaurants, and staff canteens where chilled storage demand is high and reliability during service is non-negotiable. For smaller operations with more modest storage requirements, a single-door cabinet may offer a better fit. Equally, sites with extremely high throughput or the need for pass-through access may want to consider a larger or purpose-configured alternative.

If you're weighing up whether this cabinet is the right choice for your kitchen layout and service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
