TUC-24-HC-SpecProduct Description
The True TUC-24-HC is a single-door undercounter refrigerator from True's TUC range — a well-established line of compact commercial refrigeration units designed to fit beneath standard worktops in professional kitchen environments. With a 158-litre capacity, it provides reliable chilled storage at point of preparation without taking up the floor space that a full upright cabinet would require.
True has built a strong reputation in commercial refrigeration, and the TUC range reflects that. The unit uses a forced-air refrigeration system, which circulates cold air evenly throughout the cabinet to maintain consistent holding temperatures across the full interior. This matters in practice — it means that product stored near the door or at the back of the cabinet holds temperature reliably, even during busy service periods when the door is being opened frequently.
The cabinet runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which carries a significantly lower global warming potential than older refrigerants and aligns with current environmental standards. Operationally, this also tends to support energy-efficient running, which is reflected in the unit's energy rating.
Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Forced-air circulation maintains even temperature throughout the cabinet
- Compact undercounter format frees up prep space and keeps ingredients close to hand
- R290 refrigerant supports lower energy consumption and environmental compliance
- Robust True build quality suited to sustained daily commercial use
- Consistent holding temperatures protect food safety during peak service
Installation is straightforward for most commercial kitchens — the unit is designed to sit beneath a standard worktop and requires a suitable mains electrical connection. Adequate ventilation clearance around the unit should be confirmed before installation, as restricted airflow can affect refrigeration performance. It is worth checking that your kitchen's ambient temperature sits within the unit's operating range, particularly in warmer back-of-house environments.
The TUC-24-HC is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens, café and restaurant prep lines, and any operation where undercounter refrigerated storage is needed close to a workstation. It suits sites with moderate storage requirements. For higher-volume operations or where greater capacity is needed, larger undercounter or upright alternatives within the True range may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout or service volume, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

TUC-24-HC-SpecFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the TUC-24-HC is well suited to smaller commercial operations where undercounter refrigerated storage is needed close to a prep area. Its 158-litre capacity works well for moderate daily stock requirements, though busier kitchens with higher throughput may find a larger-capacity unit more practical.
- The unit requires a standard mains electrical connection and should be positioned with adequate ventilation clearance to allow the refrigeration system to operate efficiently. It is designed to fit beneath a standard commercial worktop, but ambient kitchen temperature and airflow around the cabinet should be checked before installation — restricted ventilation is a common cause of performance issues with undercounter refrigeration.
- Forced-air systems circulate chilled air actively around the cabinet interior, which produces more even temperatures than static cooling and helps the unit recover more quickly after the door has been opened. In a commercial kitchen where a refrigerator may be accessed many times during service, this consistency is particularly useful for maintaining food safety standards.
