Under Bench Freezers

Commercial Under Bench Freezers for Busy Kitchens

If you want your kitchen to run faster and more efficiently, an underbench freezer is a smart investment. By keeping frozen ingredients right under your prep bench, your team can work quicker, stay organised and avoid unnecessary trips to back-of-house storage. That’s why under bench freezers are a go-to choice for cafés, restaurants, takeaways and food trucks that need speed and reliability during busy service.

Practical Features of Undercounter Freezer Worth Considering When Comparing

Our commercial undercounter freezers are built for daily hospitality use, with practical features such as fan-forced freezing, stainless steel construction, digital temperature controls and GN-compatible storage on selected models. Many units also use energy-efficient R290 refrigerant, helping reduce running costs while maintaining strong freezing performance for frozen food, prep ingredients, desserts, seafood, meat and packaged stock. Our under bench freezers also come with a strong stainless steel top, so your kitchen can use the unit as extra bench space for light prep, plating or equipment placement.

Choosing the Right Underbench Freezer

Choosing the right under bench freezer depends on your kitchen layout, available space, and how much frozen stock you need close to hand during service.

A single door underbench freezer, typically 600mm wide, suits small cafes, bars, and compact prep areas where frozen storage needs are moderate and bench space is limited. A double door model at 1200mm to 1500mm wide is the most practical choice for busy restaurants and takeaways that need more storage capacity along the prep line without committing to a full upright freezer. A triple door undercounter freezer at 1800mm and 4 door models at 2400mm suits high-volume kitchens, large restaurant lines, and food production areas where a large range of frozen ingredients needs to be accessible at bench height throughout service.

As a general rule, choose the largest door configuration your kitchen footprint allows. Having frozen stock at the prep line reduces the need for staff to leave the kitchen to access a separate upright or walk-in freezer, which speeds up service and improves workflow during peak periods.

Practical Designs for Tight Layouts

You can also choose from front-vented designs for built-in spaces, left or right side compressor layouts to suit your workflow, and selected models with self-cleaning condensers for easier maintenance. If your kitchen has limited depth, 600mm deep under counter freezers can help you create a cleaner, more practical workspace while keeping frozen stock within easy reach.

Under Bench Fridge and Freezer: Setting Up a Complete Refrigeration Line Under Benchtop

Many commercial kitchens run both an underbench freezer and an underbench fridge side by side beneath the same prep bench. This setup, sometimes called an under bench fridge and freezer combination, gives kitchen staff access to both chilled and frozen stock at counter height without leaving the prep line.

A popular setup in commercial kitchens is to run an under bench fridge and an underbench freezer side by side beneath the same prep bench. The fridge side stores fresh produce, dairy, and chilled prepped ingredients. The freezer side stores frozen proteins, ice cream, and frozen components. Everything your team needs is within arm's reach at the prep station, which keeps staff on the line during service and speeds up overall workflow.
