Sterling Pro SPI-6-200-30-NS 600mm Deep 3 Door Counter Fridge

The Sterling Pro SPI-6-200-30-NS is a stainless steel three-door refrigerated counter built to a 600mm depth rather than the 700mm depth standard across most commercial counter fridges. That single dimension makes a meaningful difference in kitchens where aisle widths, fixed benching, or overall floor area leave no room for a full-depth unit. It allows operators to place refrigerated storage at prep level without encroaching on circulation routes or reducing usable workspace alongside it.

In service, the unit performs comparably to a standard-depth ventilated counter. The ventilated refrigeration system maintains consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet during busy periods, and the automatic defrost cycle runs without any input from the kitchen team, reducing the risk of ice build-up affecting performance across a long shift. Electronic controls are uncomplicated to operate day to day, which matters in kitchens where staff turnover is high or training time is limited.

The three-door configuration is practical for organised storage — sections can be accessed independently, which limits temperature loss compared with opening a single wide door across the full width of the cabinet. From an operational standpoint, the compact footprint offers several advantages:

• Fits into narrower kitchen runs where a standard 700mm counter would not
• Delivers refrigerated storage at prep level, reducing movement during service
• Three-door layout limits cold air loss when accessing individual sections
• Automatic defrost removes a routine task from the kitchen team's workload
• Stainless steel construction is durable under daily use and straightforward to clean

Because this unit is shallower than a standard counter, internal storage depth and GN tray compatibility will differ from a full-depth model. If your operation relies on specific tray sizes, it is worth confirming compatibility before purchasing. As a ventilated unit, adequate clearance around the condenser is required for airflow — installation into a fully enclosed void without ventilation provision is not appropriate. The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply, which suits most kitchen electrical layouts, though it is sensible to check your available circuit capacity before ordering.

This counter is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, café prep areas, sandwich bars, and hospitality operations where space is genuinely tight but refrigerated storage at counter height is needed during service. For higher-volume sites running larger prep teams or requiring deeper internal capacity, a full-depth counter or a wider configuration is likely to provide more practical working storage.

If you want to talk through whether the reduced depth suits your kitchen layout, or check that the internal capacity aligns with your service demands, the team is glad to work through it with you before you order.
