True TSSU-72-18-HC Triple Door Prep Counter Fridge 18 x 1/6GN

The True TSSU-72-18-HC is a refrigerated preparation counter designed for commercial kitchens where a dedicated cold prep station is a daily operational necessity. It combines a worktop-level refrigerated rail holding eighteen 1/6 GN pans with a triple-door refrigerated cabinet below, giving kitchen teams immediate access to chilled ingredients at the point of preparation without repeated trips to a walk-in or remote refrigerator.

In busy service environments — pizza operations, saladette bars, grab-and-go counters, and fast-casual kitchens — this style of prep counter earns its place during peak periods. The pan rail keeps ingredients organised, portioned, and held at safe serving temperatures throughout a full service, while the cabinet beneath provides useful additional cold storage for backup stock, sauces, or pre-prepped components. True's refrigeration systems are well regarded for holding consistent temperatures even in hot kitchen conditions, which matters when a prep counter is positioned close to cooking equipment.

From an operational standpoint, the TSSU-72-18-HC offers several practical advantages:

• Eighteen 1/6 GN pan positions give substantial ingredient variety at the line without restocking mid-service
• The triple-door cabinet below provides practical backup cold storage within arm's reach
• A hardcoat aluminium interior is durable under the cleaning cycles a busy prep station demands
• True's use of hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerant reflects current environmental compliance requirements
• The worktop surface doubles as usable prep space when pan rails are not fully loaded

Installation needs careful consideration. The unit requires a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance — True prep counters are typically front-breathing, which makes them more flexible in tight kitchen layouts, but this should be confirmed for the specific installation. The footprint is substantial at 72 inches wide, so measuring the allocated run and confirming access through doors and corridors before delivery is advisable. It is designed for indoor use in a temperature-controlled kitchen environment and is not suited to outdoor or unheated storage areas.

This counter is well suited to medium to high-volume kitchens where a dedicated prep station is in consistent daily use — pizza restaurants, delis, sandwich bars, hotel kitchens, and catering operations with high ingredient throughput. For lower-volume sites or kitchens with limited space, a single or twin-door version in the same range may be a more proportionate fit. For operations running very high volumes across multiple stations, it is worth discussing whether additional prep refrigeration would be needed to support the full service.
