True Reach-In Refrigerators

The True TUC-27-HC is a single-door undercounter refrigerator from True's established TUC range. It offers 184 litres of usable chilled storage within a cabinet designed to sit beneath standard preparation surfaces, keeping refrigerated stock within arm's reach on the prep line or pass without occupying dedicated floor space. For kitchens where space is genuinely limited but access to chilled product during service is non-negotiable, this is a practical and reliable option.

True's forced-air refrigeration system actively circulates temperature throughout the cabinet rather than relying on passive cold. In a working kitchen where the door is opened repeatedly across a busy service, that distinction is meaningful — the unit recovers quickly after door openings and maintains consistent food-safe temperatures without significant variation. The cabinet runs on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which carries a low global warming potential and contributes to its A energy rating, both relevant considerations where running costs or sustainability commitments matter to the operation.

Undercounter units of this type are commonly used in several positions across a commercial kitchen:

• Below prep counters for close-to-hand ingredient storage during service
• On the pass for dairy, garnishes, or sauces requiring quick access
• In bar and front-of-house areas where compact refrigeration is needed
• In smaller kitchens where an upright cabinet is not practical

Installation requires a standard single-phase mains supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet. As with all undercounter refrigeration, it is worth confirming that the intended position allows sufficient airflow and that the ambient temperature of the space falls within the unit's design operating range. In particularly hot kitchen environments, performance can be affected, and a model rated for a higher ambient temperature may be the more appropriate choice.

The TUC-27-HC is well suited to cafés, smaller restaurant kitchens, catering prep rooms, and bar environments where compact, reliable refrigeration is a priority. For operations with higher throughput or a need for greater capacity, larger-format or multi-door alternatives within the True range are worth considering.

If you would like to discuss whether this unit suits your kitchen layout or service requirements, the team is happy to work through that with you before you commit.

The True TUC-48-HC is a two-door undercounter refrigerator from True's established TUC range, designed specifically for commercial foodservice environments. It uses a forced-air refrigeration system running on R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant to maintain consistent, food-safe holding temperatures throughout the cabinet. The undercounter format is intended for installation beneath prep counters, service lines, or back-bar configurations where making use of the space below the worktop matters.

True's undercounter units are built with the demands of busy kitchens in mind. The forced-air system circulates cold air evenly through the cabinet, which helps prevent temperature stratification and supports reliable holding even when the doors are opened repeatedly during a busy service. R290 is a low-global-warming-potential refrigerant, and the unit carries an A energy rating — both worth factoring in when considering long-term running costs alongside the initial outlay.

From a practical standpoint, the TUC-48-HC offers several operational advantages:

• Even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet during active service
• Forced-air circulation reduces the risk of warm spots and uneven chilling
• Undercounter format integrates cleanly beneath existing prep or service counter runs
• R290 refrigerant aligns with the environmental direction of commercial refrigeration
• A-rated energy performance helps keep refrigeration running costs in check

Installation is straightforward in most commercial settings. It is worth confirming that adequate ventilation clearance is available around the unit, as undercounter refrigeration relies on proper airflow to maintain performance and avoid compressor strain. A standard electrical connection is required — confirm your supply before installation. If the unit will be positioned near high-output solid fuel or open-flame cooking equipment, ambient temperature should be assessed as part of your planning.

The TUC-48-HC is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, QSR sites, and similar small to medium operations where undercounter refrigeration needs to be dependable and easy to integrate. It works well as ingredient storage on a prep line or as a dedicated dairy and cold-prep unit. For sites with significantly higher throughput or greater storage demands, a larger reach-in or multi-door configuration may be more appropriate.

The True TGN-1R-1S is a single-door upright reach-in refrigerator built to 2/1 gastronorm specification. It offers a substantial 720-litre chilled storage capacity within a relatively contained footprint, making it a practical choice for professional kitchens that need high-volume cold holding without occupying a double-door run of wall space.

True Refrigeration has earned a solid reputation in commercial foodservice for building cabinets that hold temperature reliably under sustained operational pressure. During busy service periods, when door openings are frequent and kitchen temperatures are elevated, the TGN-1R-1S maintains consistent cold holding — which matters both for food safety compliance and for protecting the quality of prepped ingredients across long shifts. The 2/1 GN internal configuration means standard gastronorm containers drop straight in without adaptation, fitting naturally into existing prep and service workflows.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the cabinet offers several practical advantages:

• 2/1 GN compatibility integrates directly with standard prep and storage containers
• Reliable temperature recovery after door openings supports food safety compliance
• Stainless steel construction withstands the demands of a professional kitchen environment
• Single-door format suits kitchens where space along a refrigeration run is limited
• Suitable for dairy, prepared ingredients, and general chilled storage across most kitchen types

Installation requires a stable mains electrical supply and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation. Before positioning the unit, it is worth confirming door swing clearance within your layout. As with any upright cabinet of this capacity, easy access for routine condenser cleaning should be considered at the planning stage rather than after installation.

The TGN-1R-1S is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and central production units where consistent bulk chilled storage is a daily requirement. Smaller operations with lower throughput may find a more compact unit a better fit, while high-volume sites running multiple sections may benefit from a larger or multi-door configuration.

The True TUC-24-HC is a single-door undercounter refrigerator from True's well-established TUC range. Designed to sit beneath a standard worktop, it provides 158 litres of chilled storage at the point of preparation — a practical solution for kitchens where floor space is at a premium and ingredients need to be close to hand without occupying a full upright cabinet.

True's commercial refrigeration units are widely used in professional kitchens, and the TUC-24-HC reflects that pedigree. The unit operates on a forced-air refrigeration system, circulating cold air throughout the cabinet to maintain consistent temperatures across the full interior. In practice, this means product stored near the door or at the rear of the cabinet holds temperature reliably, even during busy service periods when the door is opened repeatedly. The use of R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant supports lower energy consumption and aligns with current environmental compliance requirements — both operationally and from a regulatory standpoint, a worthwhile consideration when specifying new equipment.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Forced-air circulation ensures even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet
• Compact undercounter format keeps ingredients accessible at the prep station
• R290 refrigerant supports energy-efficient running and environmental compliance
• Robust build quality suited to sustained daily use in commercial kitchens
• Consistent holding temperatures support food safety during peak service

Installation is generally straightforward — the unit is designed to fit beneath a standard worktop and requires a suitable mains electrical connection. Before installation, it is worth confirming adequate ventilation clearance on all relevant sides, as restricted airflow will affect refrigeration performance. If your kitchen runs particularly warm in the back-of-house, check that the ambient operating range is compatible with your environment.

The TUC-24-HC is well suited to cafés, small to medium restaurants, and prep lines where undercounter refrigerated storage is needed close to a workstation. It suits operations with moderate chilled storage requirements at a single station. Where greater capacity is needed — or where a single unit would need to serve a higher-volume service — a larger undercounter or upright cabinet may be the more appropriate choice.

The True T-15-HC is a single-door upright reach-in refrigerator offering 425 litres of usable cold storage. Built by True Refrigeration, a manufacturer with a long-standing presence in commercial foodservice, it is designed to hold consistent, dairy-safe temperatures throughout the cabinet during the course of a full service day — including periods of frequent door opening and elevated kitchen ambient temperatures.

True reach-in cabinets are a common sight in restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, cafés, school catering facilities, and pub kitchens, where the priority is dependable temperature retention rather than headline specifications. The T-15-HC earns its place through steady, predictable performance over an extended service life, provided routine maintenance is carried out. True's build quality has a well-established reputation in the trade, and these units tend to hold up well under the daily demands of commercial kitchen use.

From a practical standpoint, the T-15-HC offers operators several meaningful advantages:

• Consistent holding temperature supports food safety compliance and day-to-day HACCP management
• Single-door upright format is well suited to galley-style and compact kitchen layouts
• Stainless steel exterior handles the rigorous cleaning regimes typical in commercial kitchens
• Reach-in access keeps product organised and accessible during busy service periods
• Designed to perform in the warmer ambient conditions found in working kitchen environments

Before ordering, it is worth confirming the electrical supply at the intended installation point and ensuring there is adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation — upright cabinets require sufficient airflow to perform correctly and maintain their rated temperatures. If the cabinet will be positioned in a particularly warm kitchen or near heat-generating equipment, it is worth discussing ambient suitability before committing.

The T-15-HC is well matched to independent restaurants, cafés, takeaways, and similar small-to-medium operations where a single upright refrigerator covers primary cold storage requirements. Sites running higher service volumes, multiple sections, or greater product throughput may find a larger-capacity or multi-door configuration a more practical fit for their workflow.

The True T-19-HC is a single-door upright reach-in refrigerator providing 538 litres of chilled storage capacity. Manufactured by True Refrigeration — a brand with a well-established presence in professional kitchens — this cabinet is built to maintain consistent internal temperatures through the daily demands of a commercial kitchen operation. It is a straightforward, well-constructed piece of equipment that does what a reliable upright refrigerator should do.

Where this cabinet earns its place in a working kitchen is during service. When doors are being opened and closed repeatedly, ambient temperatures rise, and the kitchen is operating at full pace, many lower-cost units begin to struggle. The T-19-HC is designed to hold stable temperatures under those conditions, which is what matters most for protecting chilled ingredients and dairy through a busy lunch or dinner service.

From a practical standpoint, operators benefit from several operational advantages:

• Stable temperature holding protects chilled ingredients and dairy through peak service periods
• Single-door upright format suits kitchens where lateral space alongside a run of equipment is limited
• Stainless steel exterior is robust, easy to wipe down, and suited to daily kitchen conditions
• Adjustable interior shelving accommodates gastronorm trays and varying stock configurations
• True's build quality supports a long service life and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime

The T-19-HC runs on a standard single-phase electrical supply. One point worth planning for at the installation stage is ventilation — the condenser needs adequate clearance at the rear and top to breathe properly, and restricted airflow is one of the more common causes of performance issues with upright refrigerators in commercial kitchens. The unit is floor-standing and requires a level, hard-wearing surface. It is also worth confirming the door hinge orientation suits your layout before delivery, as this is easy to specify in advance and avoids complications once the unit is in position.

This cabinet is well suited to small-to-medium operations — restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and similar environments — where a single high-quality upright refrigerator sits alongside other cold storage within a wider configuration. It works particularly well as a dedicated dairy or prep refrigerator. For higher-volume sites, or kitchens that need greater chilled capacity across multiple sections, a multi-door cabinet or a combination of units may be worth considering.

If you are weighing up whether this cabinet fits your kitchen layout and service requirements, the team at Advantage Catering Equipment is happy to talk it through with you.

The True T-23-HC is a single-door upright reach-in refrigerator designed for professional foodservice environments. At 651 litres, it provides a substantial volume of chilled storage within a relatively narrow footprint — a practical balance for operations that need meaningful capacity without surrendering disproportionate back-of-house floor space.

True Refrigeration has built a solid reputation in commercial kitchens for producing units that hold temperature reliably under the kind of duty cycles domestic and semi-commercial equipment simply isn't designed for. The T-23-HC reflects that — it is engineered to maintain stable dairy-range temperatures through repeated door openings during a busy service, and to hold product safely and consistently overnight without the temperature drift that puts compliance at risk.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Stable temperature retention through heavy service periods, supporting food safety compliance
• Single-door configuration keeps the footprint compact in tighter back-of-house runs
• Stainless steel exterior stands up to the cleaning regimes and general wear of a commercial kitchen
• Interior layout accommodates standard gastronorm shelving arrangements
• Build quality suited to a long service life with routine maintenance

Before installation, a few points are worth confirming. The condenser requires adequate ventilation clearance — placing the unit in a confined or poorly ventilated area will affect performance and potentially longevity. Check door-swing clearance against your specific layout, verify your electrical supply is compatible, and if your kitchen runs consistently warm, it is worth discussing ambient temperature tolerance with us before ordering.

The T-23-HC is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and staff canteens operating at medium to high service volumes. It is a mid-capacity unit — if your operation would have it working at or near its limit throughout the day, a higher-capacity model is worth exploring. For smaller sites with tighter floor space, a more compact unit may be a closer fit.

If you would like to talk through how the T-23-HC fits your layout and service requirements, our team is happy to help you work through it before you place an order.

The True TGN-2R-2S is a large-format, two-door upright reach-in refrigerator built around 2/1 gastronorm compatibility. With 1440 litres of chilled storage split across two independently accessed compartments, it is designed to meet the refrigeration demands of professional kitchens where volume, consistency, and workflow efficiency are genuine day-to-day requirements.

True Refrigeration has a well-established reputation in commercial refrigeration, and the TGN-2R-2S reflects the build quality the brand is known for. The cabinet is constructed to withstand repeated door openings throughout a busy service, heavy loading after deliveries, and the general demands of a working kitchen. The refrigeration system maintains consistent temperatures across the full interior, which matters when holding dairy, prepped ingredients, and temperature-sensitive mise en place through a full service period.

The 2/1 GN internal configuration is where this cabinet earns its place in a professional operation. Kitchens working with full gastronorm pans can move directly from prep to storage and back without decanting, saving time at both ends of service. Key operational benefits include:

• 2/1 GN compatibility removes the need to repack into smaller containers
• Two-door layout allows independent access to each compartment, reducing temperature disruption
• Consistent internal temperature supports reliable cold chain management across a full service
• Robust construction handles high-frequency door use without performance degradation
• Stainless steel exterior wipes down quickly and holds up well under daily use

Installation requires a standard electrical connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Given the overall size and weight of the unit, access routes into the kitchen — doorways, corridors, and any level changes — should be measured and confirmed well before delivery. The cabinet is intended for indoor, ventilated environments only.

The TGN-2R-2S is well suited to mid-to-large operations: hotels, contract caterers, busy restaurants, and institutional kitchens where gastronorm working practices are standard and storage volume is a genuine requirement. Kitchens with lighter throughput or limited floor space may be better served by a single-door or lower-capacity cabinet, while very high-volume sites running multiple sections may find that additional units or a larger format better matches their needs.

If you would like to talk through how this cabinet fits your layout, workflow, or existing refrigeration setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The True T-49-HC is a two-door upright reach-in refrigerator designed for sustained, reliable use in professional foodservice environments. It provides a substantial chilled storage volume across two full-height door sections, making it a practical choice for operations that need serious capacity without the complexity or footprint of a walk-in installation.

True Refrigeration has earned a dependable reputation in commercial kitchens, and this cabinet reflects that. The HC designation refers to the use of a hydrocarbon refrigerant system, which runs more efficiently than older refrigerant types and meets current environmental compliance expectations. More importantly in a working kitchen, the cabinet is engineered to hold consistent internal temperatures even when doors are opened repeatedly during a busy service period — the condition under which the quality of any refrigeration cabinet is genuinely tested.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the T-49-HC offers several practical advantages:

• Two independent door sections allow access to one zone without disturbing the other
• Consistent temperature holding supports food safety compliance and reduces spoilage risk
• Robust stainless steel construction withstands the cleaning regimes and daily wear of a commercial kitchen
• Hydrocarbon refrigerant system contributes to lower energy consumption over the unit's working life
• Adjustable interior shelving accommodates GN containers, prep trays, and bulk storage in varying configurations

Before installation, a few points are worth considering. The unit requires a suitable mains electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — particularly relevant if the cabinet is being positioned within a tight equipment run or close to a wall. Given the unit's size and weight, floor loading capacity and access through service doorways should be confirmed in advance. The T-49-HC is intended for indoor use within standard commercial ambient temperature ranges and is not suitable for unheated storage areas or outdoor positioning.

This cabinet is well suited to mid-to-large scale catering operations — hotels, contract caterers, high-volume restaurants, and staff canteens where chilled storage demand is consistently high and reliability during service is non-negotiable. Smaller operations with more modest requirements may find a single-door cabinet a better match for their throughput and available footprint. Sites with very high storage demand or a need for pass-through configuration may benefit from exploring a larger or differently arranged alternative.
