Tefcold ST160 Glass Lid Chest Freezer 115 Ltr

The Tefcold ST160 is a compact chest freezer with a hinged flat glass lid, designed primarily for impulse frozen product display and short-term frozen storage in retail, café, and catering environments. The clear glass lid allows customers or staff to see the contents without opening the unit, which helps preserve temperature and reduces unnecessary door-open time. A lock on the lid provides basic security where that is a consideration.

In service, the ST160 performs consistently in low-to-medium demand settings. The static cooling system maintains a stable cabinet temperature without the noise and airflow of a fan-assisted unit, which suits environments where quiet operation matters. Recovery after opening is adequate for typical impulse retail use, though high-traffic sites with frequent lid opening throughout the day should factor that into their expectations.

From an operational standpoint, several features make this a practical day-to-day unit:

• Hinged glass lid with lock — visibility without compromising temperature security
• Castors fitted as standard, allowing the unit to be repositioned without lifting
• Integrated temperature display for straightforward monitoring
• Defrost drain included, simplifying routine cleaning and maintenance
• One storage basket supplied for organised product separation

Installation is straightforward. The unit is self-contained, requires only a standard 13A mains supply, and needs reasonable clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. Its compact footprint makes it workable in tight spaces, though it should not be placed in direct sunlight or near heat-generating equipment, as ambient temperature will affect performance.

The ST160 is best suited to small cafés, convenience retail, farm shops, snack kiosks, and similar environments where frozen impulse lines need accessible, visible display storage. It is not intended for bulk frozen storage or high-throughput kitchen production. If your requirement is for larger capacity, or for a unit that will see constant heavy use throughout a full service day, a larger or fan-cooled model is likely a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your specific setup or usage pattern, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
