True TSSU-27-08-HC Prep Counter Fridge 184Ltr 8x1/6GN Single Door

The True TSSU-27-08-HC is a refrigerated prep counter designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable ingredient cooling directly at the point of assembly. It combines a worktop with an eight-pan configuration using 1/6 GN inserts, keeping ingredients chilled and accessible throughout service without requiring staff to move away from the prep area. It sits within True's well-regarded TSSU range, which has a strong track record in food-service environments across the UK and Europe.

In a working kitchen, this counter suits operations where speed and ingredient control matter — pizza preparation, salad and sandwich bars, and cold appetiser lines are typical applications. The refrigerated rail keeps cut and portioned ingredients within safe temperature limits during a busy lunch or dinner service, reducing the risk of temperature drift that can occur when cold items are left out on an open counter. True's approach to refrigeration in this range focuses on consistent cabinet temperatures even when the lid is frequently opened and closed throughout service.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

• Ingredients stored chilled at the point of use, reducing back-and-forth to the main cold store
• Eight 1/6GN pan positions offering flexibility in ingredient layout
• Worktop surface that doubles as a preparation area during service
• Robust build quality consistent with True's commercial refrigeration standards
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant system aligned with current environmental requirements

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type — it requires a standard single-phase power supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. As with any undercounter refrigeration, the unit should not be positioned directly adjacent to high-heat appliances such as fryers or griddles without appropriate shielding, as ambient heat will affect performance and running costs. Check that your chosen position allows sufficient airflow around the unit before installation.

This counter is well suited to smaller to mid-size operations — a café, pizzeria, sandwich bar, or small restaurant with a defined cold prep section. For kitchens running heavier throughput or requiring a greater number of pan positions across a longer service counter, a wider unit or two-door configuration may be worth considering. Equally, if your operation only needs a compact cold rail without the full worktop footprint, a smaller unit from the range may be more appropriate.
