The Sterling Pro SP2HC-LOW-BH is a double-door hinged bottle cooler built for back-bar use where standard-height units won't fit. The low-profile cabinet is designed to sit beneath a bar counter or within a lower back-bar run without disrupting the serving area above, making it a practical choice where height clearance is restricted.

Fan-assisted cooling keeps temperatures consistent across the full cabinet, which matters during busy service periods when the doors are opened frequently. The timed defrost system reduces the need for manual intervention and helps maintain stable running temperatures throughout a shift. Internal LED lighting keeps the contents clearly visible, which aids speed of service when staff are working quickly behind the bar.

From an operational standpoint, this unit offers several practical advantages for bar environments:

Low-height cabinet fits under standard bar counters where full-height units cannot
Hinged glass doors allow quick access and keep contents visible at all times
Adjustable shelving accommodates different bottle sizes and configurations
Fitted door locks provide basic security during closed hours
R600a refrigerant is a low-global-warming-potential hydrocarbon, in line with current environmental standards

As an under-counter unit, it requires adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet — particularly at the rear and base — to allow the refrigeration system to dissipate heat effectively. Positioning it in a tightly enclosed space with no airflow will affect performance and could shorten the life of the compressor. It runs on a standard single-phase supply, but it is worth confirming that the intended location has a suitable dedicated socket nearby.

This cooler is well suited to pubs, bars, cafés, and hospitality venues where back-bar space is at a premium but reliable chilled bottle storage is essential. It is a reasonable fit for moderate-volume service. For sites with very high throughput or a need for significantly greater bottle capacity, a larger or full-height alternative may serve better.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your bar layout or service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Is this unit suitable for a busy pub with high bottle turnover?

It is well suited to moderate-volume bar service. During busy periods, fan-assisted cooling helps the cabinet recover temperature after repeated door openings. For very high-throughput venues where the cooler would be under near-constant use, it is worth discussing whether a larger-capacity unit would be a more reliable long-term choice.

What do I need to consider when positioning this cooler behind the bar?

The unit needs sufficient clearance around the cabinet — particularly at the rear and base — for heat dissipation. Fitting it into a fully enclosed void with no ventilation will reduce cooling efficiency and put unnecessary strain on the compressor. A nearby standard single-phase socket is also required.

Can this cooler be used to store wine as well as bottled beer and soft drinks?

The cabinet operates across a temperature range that covers both beer and many white or rosé wines served chilled, but it is a single-zone unit, so the entire cabinet runs at one temperature. If you need to store red wine, which requires a different temperature, or if you want dedicated zones for different drink types, a dual-zone or separate wine cooler would be more appropriate.
