TSSU-27-12M-C-HC-SpecProduct Description
The True TSSU-27-12M-C-HC is a refrigerated preparation counter designed for commercial kitchens where ingredients need to be held at safe temperatures and accessed quickly during service. It combines a refrigerated storage cabinet below with a chilled rail above, accommodating twelve 1/6 GN pans across the top surface. This format is widely used on pizza make lines, saladette stations, and cold deli counters where speed and ingredient organisation matter throughout the day.
In a working kitchen environment, this type of unit earns its place by keeping ingredients at consistent chill temperatures through a sustained service period without requiring staff to return to a remote fridge. True Refrigeration equipment is well regarded for holding temperature reliably under the repeated opening cycles that are typical in a busy service — a detail that matters more in practice than headline temperature ratings suggest.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages this counter offers are:
- Ingredients held at the point of use, reducing movement during peak service
- Twelve pan positions across the rail allow a well-organised mise en place
- Under-counter storage keeps additional stock close without cluttering the workspace
- True's build quality supports the daily demands of a commercial environment
- Straightforward worktop surface suits fast-paced assembly and plating workflows
Before installation, it is worth confirming that the unit has adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation — True counters of this type are typically designed for free-air condenser operation, and restricted airflow will affect performance and longevity. Standard electrical supply is required, and the unit should be positioned on a level, stable surface. If the kitchen is exceptionally warm or the unit will sit close to cooking equipment, that is worth discussing in advance, as ambient temperature affects refrigeration efficiency.
This counter is well suited to pizzerias, sandwich and wrap operations, quick-service restaurants, and any kitchen running a high-throughput cold assembly station. It represents a practical mid-range choice for sites that need reliable performance and sensible ingredient capacity without over-specifying. For operations with more complex or higher-volume prep requirements, there are larger and more heavily specified alternatives worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your station layout or service volumes, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit.

TSSU-27-12M-C-HC-SpecFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes, this is a commonly used configuration on pizza make lines. The twelve 1/6 GN pan positions give enough room for a well-organised topping station, and the under-counter cabinet allows stock rotation without leaving the prep area. For very high-volume sites turning over ingredients rapidly across multiple concurrent sessions, it is worth discussing whether a wider unit with additional pan capacity would serve you better.
- The main practical consideration is ventilation — ensure the condenser has adequate clearance as restricted airflow will reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the unit's working life. You should also avoid positioning it immediately adjacent to high-heat cooking equipment where ambient temperatures are consistently elevated. A level, stable surface and a standard electrical supply are required; confirm the exact electrical specification with your installer before fitting.
- True counters of this type are designed with the operational reality of repeated access in mind, and the refrigeration system is built to recover effectively under normal service conditions. That said, in very high-ambient environments or where the unit is opened almost continuously, temperature consistency will be affected — this is true of all prep counters and is something to factor into your station design rather than a specific limitation of this model.
