True TSSU-48-12-HC Refrigerated Prep Counter 12 x 1/6GN

The True TSSU-48-12-HC is a refrigerated preparation counter designed for commercial kitchens where chilled ingredients need to be kept accessible and at safe temperatures throughout service. The unit combines a two-door refrigerated cabinet beneath a worktop with a full-width pan rail holding twelve 1/6 GN pans — making it a common choice for pizza prep lines, salad stations, and cold-side assembly points. The worktop surface doubles as a usable prep area, which is a practical advantage in kitchens where bench space is always in demand.

True has a long-standing reputation in commercial refrigeration for consistent holding temperatures even during prolonged service periods. The TSSU range is engineered to cope with the repeated opening of both the pan rail and the cabinet doors that is inevitable in a busy service environment. The hydrocarbon refrigerant system used in the HC version is both efficient and in keeping with current environmental standards, without requiring any change to day-to-day operation or maintenance routines.

For kitchen operators, the practical advantages of this configuration include:

• Ingredient pans held at temperature directly at the point of use, reducing movement during service
• Generous cabinet storage beneath for bulk ingredients, minimising trips to the main cold room
• Robust construction suited to high-contact, fast-paced prep environments
• Worktop surface that integrates naturally into a prep or assembly line
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant with lower environmental impact and reliable thermal performance

From an installation standpoint, this unit requires a standard mains electrical connection and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation — restricted airflow is one of the most common causes of performance issues with undercounter refrigeration. The unit is floor-standing and sized for a 48-inch run, so confirming the available run length and door swing clearance before ordering is worthwhile. If the kitchen operates in a particularly warm environment, it is worth discussing ambient temperature conditions before committing to any prep counter, as this can affect holding performance.

The TSSU-48-12-HC suits kitchens producing a steady volume of pizza, salads, wraps, or cold assemblies — typically restaurants, takeaways, hotel kitchens, or event catering operations with a defined prep workflow. For smaller operations with tighter space, a shorter single-door configuration may be more practical. Equally, higher-volume sites running extended service hours may benefit from a larger-capacity model in the same range.
