True TUC-24G-HC Glass Door Undercounter Refrigerator 158Ltr

The True TUC-24G-HC is a single glass door undercounter refrigerator from True's TUC range — a well-regarded series designed specifically for commercial foodservice environments. At 158 litres, it sits in the mid-capacity bracket for undercounter refrigeration, offering useful storage in a compact footprint that fits beneath standard preparation counters. The glass door makes it straightforward to identify contents without opening the unit, which helps in fast-paced service situations.

True has built the TUC range around a forced-air refrigeration system, which distributes cold air evenly throughout the cabinet rather than relying on static cooling. In practice, this means temperatures remain consistent even when the door is opened frequently during a busy service — a common failure point with lesser-specified units. The unit runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which has a low environmental impact and is increasingly the standard expectation for commercial refrigeration in the UK and Europe.

From an operational standpoint, the TUC-24G-HC offers several practical advantages for kitchen teams:

• Glass door aids stock visibility and reduces unnecessary door openings during service
• Forced-air system supports consistent holding temperatures across the full cabinet
• Undercounter format keeps refrigerated stock close to the preparation area
• R290 refrigerant meets current environmental expectations and supports A-rated energy performance
• True's commercial build quality is well suited to the demands of continuous daily use

As an undercounter unit, installation is generally straightforward — it requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet. It is worth confirming the precise clearance requirements before positioning the unit in a tight run of equipment, as restricted airflow can affect long-term performance and compressor life. The unit is not designed for outdoor or unheated environments.

The TUC-24G-HC is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, café and bar back-of-house areas, and prep stations where space is limited but reliable refrigerated storage is essential. It also works well as a secondary unit in larger kitchens needing localised cold storage at a specific workstation. For operations with significantly higher throughput or storage demands, larger undercounter or upright alternatives within the True range may be worth considering.
