Prevent rear liquid spills, protect kitchen walls, and maximize back-of-house cold storage reliability. The Stainless Steel Door Hamper Underbar Fridge features an integrated rear upstand (splashback hamper) combined with solid, high-insulation doors. Engineered specifically for commercial catering lines, restaurant prep areas, and bar back counters, this heavy-duty underbar chiller keeps food ingredients safe between 2°C and 6°C while providing a clean, hygienic worktop for active food prep.
The unit features heavy-duty commercial self-closing hinges and magnetic perimeter gaskets that seal securely to minimize cold air loss and reduce compressor wear. Inside, adjustable plastic-coated wire shelving easily accommodates heavy food pans and ingredient containers. Complete with an internal auto-evaporation drainage system, rapid forced-air circulation, and lockable heavy-duty castors, this plug-and-play workstation provides long-lasting durability for South African food service operations.

Q: What is the main purpose of the “hamper” (rear splashback) on this underbar fridge?
A: The hamper is an integrated vertical rear upstand built into the stainless steel top. It sits flush against your kitchen or bar wall to stop food debris, liquid splashes, sauces, and small utensils from slipping down the back of the fridge, ensuring strict hygiene compliance and making cleaning effortless.
Q: Why choose solid stainless steel doors over glass doors for back-of-house food prep?
A: Solid stainless steel doors injected with high-density polyurethane foam provide superior thermal insulation against ambient heat generated by nearby fryers, grills, and ovens, reducing compressor run-times and saving electricity.
Q: Does this underbar fridge require floor plumbing or a drain pipe?
A: No external plumbing is required. The fridge is equipped with an internal auto-evaporation pan located near the condensing unit, which uses natural compressor heat to evaporate defrost water automatically, keeping your kitchen floors dry and safe.
Built for demanding commercial kitchens where food prep hygiene and space optimization are essential, this hamper-top underbar chiller prevents ingredients, food crumbs, and liquids from dropping down behind the counter and against wall backdrops. Its solid stainless steel doors, injected with high-density polyurethane foam insulation, create an effective thermal barrier against hot cooklines and high ambient kitchen heat.
Breakthrough technology replaces a conventional thermostat with an advanced electronic energy management system to cool quicker and maintain a more consistent temperature, while saving precious electricity.
By combining EMD control with ECM fans, electronic expansion valves and high-performance coils, we are able to further reduce energy consumption while improving cooling performance.
Our innovative swift swop™ technology enables easy replacement of the refrigeration deck without unpacking the contents of the fridge and without any skilled labour.
