Freezers
You’ll often see upright display freezers in front-of-house areas like service stations, takeaway counters and grab-and-go sections. These freezers allow customers to see what’s available and take what they need without affecting the internal temperature.












Artisan’s stainless steel upright freezers are built for businesses that can’t afford downtime. Heavy-duty hinges, self-closing doors and reinforced interiors handle constant use in busy kitchens.
With proper care, quality commercial upright freezers can run for 10 to 15 years. Each unit offers fan-assisted cooling, LED lighting, heated glass doors, and operates in 35°C conditions.

Artisan’s stainless steel upright freezers are built for businesses that can’t afford downtime. Heavy-duty hinges, self-closing doors and reinforced interiors handle constant use in busy kitchens.
With proper care, quality commercial upright freezers can run for 10 to 15 years. Each unit offers fan-assisted cooling, LED lighting, heated glass doors, and operates in 35°C conditions.
Stainless steel upright freezers are typically used for back-of-house storage, where durability and hygiene are priorities. Front-of-house display models feature glass doors and come in white, black or custom corporate colours to suit the look of your business.
Each of our small upright freezers available in Australia includes adjustable wire shelving and tray slides for storing meats, seafood, desserts or prepared meals.
Most models feature five adjustable shelves plus a base, providing six practical levels per door. Shelves can be repositioned to fit packaging and maintain airflow.
For kitchens where both chilled and frozen storage are needed, see our upright fridge and freezer combo units.
All upright freezers are fitted with electronic digital temperature displays for precise control and quick, easy monitoring. Temperatures remain stable between –18°C and –22°C, the standard commercial range for safe frozen storage. This accuracy protects food quality, reduces waste and supports compliance with Australian food safety standards.
Artisan’s stainless steel upright freezers are trusted across a wide range of commercial settings, including:
Models are available for both back-of-house storage, typically in stainless steel finishes, and front-of-house display, with glass-door units offered in several colours. For more presentation options, see our commercial display freezer.
Energy use depends on model size and efficiency. On average, a commercial upright freezer consumes 500–900 kWh per year, depending on temperature settings and door use.
What helps most is good design. Artisan freezers use energy-efficient compressors, CFC-free insulation and LED lighting to reduce running costs while maintaining consistent performance.
If unopened, most freezers maintain safe storage temperatures for 24–48 hours. Actual time varies depending on how full the cabinet is, room temperature and how often the doors are opened. Artisan’s insulated design helps preserve cold air longer during unexpected power outages.
Place your freezer on a level, well-ventilated surface with 75–100 mm clearance around the sides and rear for airflow. Avoid heat sources such as ovens or direct sunlight. In commercial kitchens, position units away from walkways and service points to maintain efficiency and workflow.
It depends. Some cafés only need small upright freezers available in Australia that hold around 600 litres, while larger kitchens go for multi-door cabinets of over 2000 litres. Choosing the right size comes down to your available floor space, storage volume and operational needs.
