Commercial Reach-In Refrigerators

Commercial Reach-in refrigerators typically range from one to three sections, offering storage capacities from 10 to 121 cubic feet for commercial foodservice operations with varying food preparation volumes. These units commonly feature one full door per section or two half-doors per section, potentially totaling up to 12 doors depending on the configuration. Doors for commercial reach-in coolers come in full, half, glass, solid, or mixed configurations. Glass-door units allow easy content monitoring, while solid-door options offer enhanced insulation.

Pass-thru or roll-thru reach-in refrigerators, designed for loading from behind, often include multiple doors. This design allows kitchen staff to load items from the rear for front-end access by service personnel. Roll-in units, in contrast, open in one direction and are used with rolling racks for storing large quantities of prepared food.

Regardless of the style, Commercial reach-in coolers are equipped with either bottom- or top-mounted compressors. Bottom-mounted compressors, located at the unit's base, elevate the bottom for easier access but require more frequent maintenance due to dust accumulation. Top-mounted compressors draw air from above workstations to prevent compressor blockage, making them advantageous for operations handling substantial flour quantities.
