Polar G-Series Back Bar Cooler with Sliding Doors 198Ltr

The Polar G-Series back bar cooler is a double-glazed sliding door drinks chiller designed for behind-the-bar use in pubs, bars, hotels and similar licensed venues. It holds chilled bottles and cans within a temperature range suited to draught and packaged drink service, keeping stock visible, accessible and at a consistent serving temperature throughout the shift.

The sliding door configuration is a practical choice wherever back bar space is tight. Because neither door swings outward, staff can access stock without needing clearance in front of the unit — useful in narrow bar runs where a hinged door would obstruct movement or create a hazard during busy service. Four adjustable interior shelves allow stock to be organised by product type or rotation preference, and the LED interior lighting makes it straightforward for staff to locate and retrieve bottles quickly during peak periods.

From an operational standpoint, this unit is built with the demands of regular daily use in mind. Key practical points include:

• Sliding doors reduce the risk of accidental contact in confined back bar environments
• Front-mounted digital controls allow temperature checks and adjustments without moving the unit
• LED lighting supports product visibility while keeping running costs lower than fluorescent alternatives
• Painted steel construction is durable under the cleaning and handling typical of bar environments
• R600a refrigerant offers reasonable energy efficiency for a unit of this class

Installation is relatively straightforward — this is a self-contained unit requiring a standard UK mains connection and adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet. At 60kg it is manageable to position but does require two people to move safely. The 520mm depth means it will fit most standard back bar counters, though it is worth confirming the available run width before ordering given the 900mm footprint. It is not designed for built-in recessed installation.

This cooler is well suited to small to mid-volume licensed premises where back bar space is at a premium and presentation of chilled product matters. Sites with very high bottle turnover or a requirement to chill a wider variety of formats may find a larger-capacity unit a better fit. For lower-volume requirements or where space is more constrained, a smaller single-door alternative is worth considering.
