TGN-1R-1S-SpecProduct Description
The True TGN-1R-1S is a single-door upright reach-in refrigerator built to 2/1 gastronorm specification, providing a substantial 720-litre storage capacity within a relatively compact footprint. It is designed for professional foodservice environments where reliable cold holding and high-volume ingredient storage are daily requirements rather than occasional demands.
True Refrigeration has a long-standing reputation in commercial kitchens for building equipment that performs consistently under sustained operational pressure. The TGN-1R-1S holds temperature reliably through repeated door openings during busy service periods — a critical factor in any kitchen running continuous covers or managing large-scale meal preparation. The 2/1 GN internal configuration means standard gastronorm containers fit without adaptation, which reduces handling time and integrates naturally into existing prep and service workflows.
From an operational standpoint, this cabinet offers several practical advantages:
- 2/1 GN compatibility eliminates the need for decanting into non-standard containers
- Consistent temperature recovery after door opening supports food safety compliance
- Stainless steel construction handles the rigours of a professional kitchen environment
- Single-door format suits kitchens where space along a 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 for ventilation — particularly around the condenser. The unit's footprint suits most professional kitchen layouts, though it is worth confirming door swing clearance before positioning. As with any upright refrigeration cabinet of this capacity, access for routine condenser cleaning should be factored into the installation plan.
The TGN-1R-1S is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and central production units where reliable bulk chilled storage is needed day to day. For kitchens requiring multi-door access or significantly greater capacity, larger upright configurations or multi-section cabinets may be more appropriate. Equally, smaller operations may find a more compact unit a better fit for their throughput.
If you would like to talk through whether this cabinet suits your kitchen layout and service volume, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

TGN-1R-1S-SpecFrequently Asked Questions
- Yes, this cabinet is well suited to that kind of operation. True's upright reach-in refrigerators are built to cope with frequent door openings and sustained daily use, and the 720-litre capacity gives a restaurant kitchen meaningful ingredient storage without needing multiple units. That said, if your prep volumes are particularly high or you need simultaneous access from multiple team members, a multi-door configuration may serve you better.
- You will need a suitable mains electrical supply and sufficient clearance around the unit for ventilation, particularly at the condenser. Confirm door swing clearance before finalising its position in the kitchen layout. It is also worth planning for routine condenser maintenance access — keeping the condenser clean is one of the most straightforward ways to protect the unit's efficiency and lifespan.
- Yes, the TGN-1R-1S operates within a temperature range suitable for dairy products as well as general chilled foodservice storage. It is commonly used in kitchens holding a mix of dairy, prepared ingredients, and raw components. If your operation has very specific temperature zoning requirements — for example, separating raw proteins from ready-to-serve items — it is worth discussing your layout with us to ensure this or an alternative unit fits that need.
