How to Choose an Under-Bench Fridge
The right under-bench fridge depends on cabinet size and door configuration. Measure the installation space first, then choose a layout that matches how your kitchen or bar operates each day.
Size and Width
Measure the bench opening before comparing models. Commercial under-bench cabinets are specified by their external dimensions, so cabinet width determines whether the unit will fit the available space.
The Artisan™ range spans approximately 600 mm single-door cabinets through to 2400 mm multi-door units, covering compact preparation stations through to larger commercial kitchens. Capacity is measured in litres, while gastronorm models are specified by pan compatibility. A larger litre capacity does not always mean the cabinet suits your trays or preparation workflow.
Leave ventilation clearance around the cabinet during installation so the refrigeration system can operate correctly. Many models across the range also feature stainless steel construction, fan-forced refrigeration and auto defrost for dependable commercial performance.
Door Type and Configuration
Solid-door cabinets retain temperature more effectively and suit back-of-house preparation and ingredient storage. If that’s your preferred format, explore the Gourmet Solid-Door Under-Counter Fridges.
Glass-door models keep products visible during bar service and front-of-house operation, reducing the need to open the cabinet to check stock. Drawer units accept gastronorm pans for quick ingredient access along preparation lines, while back bar fridges are purpose-built for beverage storage and service.
Commercial Under-Bench Fridge Range
Artisan™ supplies commercial under-bench fridge models in solid-door, glass-door, drawer, gastronorm and back bar configurations. Across the range you’ll find stainless steel construction, digital temperature controls, fan-forced refrigeration and auto defrost, while selected glass-door cabinets also include LED lighting.
