Sterling Pro SP1HC-STS Single Door Bottle Cooler 138 Ltr

The Sterling Pro SP1HC-STS is a single-door, under-counter bottle cooler designed to sit behind the bar and keep bottled drinks at consistent serving temperature throughout a busy service. With a 138-litre capacity and room for over 100 standard 330ml bottles across its adjustable shelving, it occupies a compact footprint while offering practical day-to-day storage for a working bar environment.

In service, the unit runs on a static cooling system supported by a fan, which helps maintain even temperatures across the cabinet without creating the cold spots or uneven chilling that can affect product presentation. The timed automatic defrost reduces manual intervention, and the electronic controller makes temperature management straightforward for bar staff. The R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant is a low global-warming-potential option, which is increasingly relevant for operators mindful of environmental compliance.

From an operational standpoint, the SP1HC-STS offers a number of practical advantages for bar environments:

• Internal LED lighting keeps stock clearly visible without generating excess heat inside the cabinet
• Fitted door lock adds a basic level of stock security during quieter periods
• Adjustable shelving accommodates different bottle heights and formats
• Stainless steel exterior is straightforward to wipe down and sits cleanly behind most bar counters
• Aluminium interior is easy to keep clean between restocks

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and top — fitting it into a tight enclosure without proper airflow will reduce efficiency and shorten the compressor's working life. This is worth confirming before installation if the unit is going into a built-in bar cabinet.

This cooler is well suited to smaller pubs, cafés, hotel bars, and restaurant service areas where a single-door unit covers the volume required. For higher-footfall sites or venues needing to chill a broader range of stock simultaneously, a larger-capacity or multi-door alternative would be worth considering.
