Product Description
The Sterling Pro SP2HC is a double-door under-counter bottle cooler designed for back-bar use in commercial environments where reliable chilled drinks service is a constant requirement. With capacity for 180 x 330ml bottles across two compartments, it is built to support continuous service in busy settings rather than light or occasional use.
In a working bar environment, the fan-assisted refrigeration system helps the unit recover quickly after repeated door openings during peak service — a common pressure point for bottle coolers in high-footfall venues. The timed defrost function reduces the need for manual intervention, keeping the unit operating consistently through a full service without requiring staff attention. Internal LED lighting makes stock visible quickly during a busy shift, which matters when speed of service counts.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages for bar and hospitality teams:
- Hinged glass doors allow quick access and clear visibility of stock levels at a glance
- Adjustable shelving accommodates different bottle sizes and allows flexible stocking arrangements
- Fitted locks support stock security in multi-staff or public-facing environments
- R600a refrigerant offers a lower environmental impact and is common in modern commercial bottle coolers
- Embossed aluminium interior is straightforward to wipe down at the end of service
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It is designed for under-counter positioning behind the bar and will require a standard mains electrical connection. Adequate ventilation clearance around the unit should be factored in at installation — restricted airflow is a common cause of reduced refrigeration performance over time. The black exterior finish is a practical choice for front-of-house bar environments where appearance matters alongside function.
This unit is well suited to pubs, bars, cafés, and restaurants operating at moderate to high service volumes where a reliable, accessible chilled drinks display is needed at the point of service. For very high-volume venues with significantly greater throughput, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity model would better match the demand. Equally, lower-volume operations with limited space may find a single-door alternative more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volumes or bar layout, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The SP2HC is well suited to moderate to high-volume bar environments where a steady throughput of chilled bottled drinks is needed throughout service. Fan-assisted cooling helps maintain temperatures during peak periods when the doors are opened frequently. For very high-volume venues or large festival-style operations, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would be a better match for your throughput.
- The SP2HC is designed for under-counter installation and requires a standard mains electrical connection. It is important to ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the unit, particularly at the rear and sides, as restricted airflow can affect refrigeration performance over time. If you are fitting this into a fixed bar structure, check the available space carefully against the unit's dimensions before ordering.
- Fan-assisted cooling helps the unit recover after warm stock is loaded, which is useful in a bar setting where restocking often happens mid-service. That said, loading large quantities of warm bottles at once will temporarily raise the internal temperature, so staggered restocking is advisable during busy periods to maintain consistent serving temperatures.
