Sterling Pro SP2HC-LOW-BH 180 Bottle Low Height Double Door Cooler

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.
