Commercial Freezers

Find the Right Commercial Freezer for Your Business

A commercial freezer needs to do more than keep products cold. It must maintain stable freezing temperatures through frequent door openings, fit your available space and give staff practical access to stock during busy service.

Our range includes commercial freezers for restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways, bakeries, butcher shops, supermarkets, convenience stores and catering businesses across Australia.

Which Type of Commercial Freezer Should You Choose?

• Commercial upright freezers provide organised, eye-level storage and are a practical choice for busy kitchens where staff need regular access to frozen ingredients. Shelving makes stock rotation easier, while single, double and multi-door models suit different storage volumes.
• Commercial chest freezers offer generous storage capacity for their price and are well suited to cartons, bulk ingredients and slower-moving frozen stock. They generally use more floor space, and products stored at the bottom may be harder to access.
• Under bench freezers fit beneath a workbench and keep frequently used frozen ingredients close to the preparation or cooking area. They are useful beside fryer stations, dessert sections and compact kitchen workstations.
• Commercial display freezers use glass doors or lids to make frozen products visible. They are suitable for ice cream, frozen meals and packaged retail products where presentation and customer visibility are important.

Choosing the Right Capacity

Start by estimating the maximum amount of frozen stock your business holds between deliveries. Consider the size of cartons, tubs and food containers rather than relying only on the advertised litre capacity.

Allow some additional room so cold air can circulate properly around stored products. Buying a unit that is completely full from the first day may restrict airflow and leave no room for seasonal demand or business growth.

Check Dimensions, Access and Ventilation

Measure the installation space as well as doorways, corridors, lifts and other access points along the delivery path. Remember to allow the ventilation clearance specified by the manufacturer.

Check the freezer’s width, depth and height carefully, including castors, handles and door swing. Larger cabinets may require more installation clearance than their external dimensions suggest.

Ambient Temperature Matters

A freezer installed in a hot kitchen, storeroom or non-air-conditioned area may need a higher ambient rating than one used in a temperature-controlled room.

Check each model’s climate or ambient rating before purchasing. Positioning a freezer beside an oven, fryer or in direct sunlight can increase energy use and reduce cooling performance.

Temperature and Food Storage

Many commercial storage freezers operate at approximately −18°C or colder, although the exact temperature range varies between models. Australian food-safety guidance requires frozen food to remain frozen hard. Always follow the equipment manufacturer’s operating instructions and your business’s food-safety procedures.

Power Requirements

Many compact commercial freezers connect to a standard 10A power outlet, while some larger models require a 15A outlet or another electrical connection. Check the power requirements on the individual product page before ordering and arrange installation by a licensed professional where required.

Commercial Freezer Brands

Our range includes models from commercial refrigeration brands such as Bromic, Turbo Air, Skope, Atosa, Thermaster, FED-X, Liebherr and IARP. Available features vary between models and may include:
