Undercounters
Undercounter refrigerators and freezers are compact commercial refrigeration units designed to fit beneath worktops and preparation counters, providing convenient refrigerated storage exactly where it is needed. Widely used in restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés, bakeries, and commercial kitchens, these undercounter units help maximise workspace while keeping ingredients, beverages, and prepared foods within easy reach. Available in chiller and freezer configurations, undercounter refrigerators and freezers combine efficient storage with space-saving design, making them an essential solution for busy foodservice environments.
What to Consider When Sourcing Undercounter Refrigerators and Freezers
When selecting an undercounter refrigerator or freezer, the most important consideration is ensuring the unit fits your available workspace. Height, depth, and overall dimensions should be checked carefully against your counter layout to ensure seamless integration into the kitchen or service area. Choosing between refrigerated or frozen storage will depend on the products being stored and the operational requirements of your business.
You should also consider door or drawer configurations, refrigeration performance, and gastronorm compatibility. Drawer models provide convenient access to ingredients and GN pans at preparation stations, while door models maximise storage flexibility. Features such as forced-air cooling, stainless steel construction, worktop-rated surfaces, and energy-efficient refrigeration systems can further improve durability and day-to-day performance.
SIS Refrigeration offers undercounter refrigerators and freezers in a range of sizes, door and drawer configurations, and GN-compatible designs suitable for commercial kitchens, bars, cafés, restaurants, and foodservice operations.
