1/3 hp Compressor

The bottom mounted design of the 1/3 hp compressor not only draws in cooler air for energy efficiency, but also raises the bottom shelf, so you don’t have to bend as much during loading and unloading. It circulates R-290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business. Also, this unit has an automatic defrost cycle, so your staff doesn’t need to spend valuable time clearing out ice.

Corrosion-Resistant Shelves

These adjustable shelves are coated with plastic to help keep out moisture and resist corrosion and rusting. Each unit comes with 3 shelves and 12 shelf clips, allowing you to place your shelves exactly where you need them to accommodate your small or large food products.

Digital Temperature Control

The unit's digital temperature control allows you to easily adjust the temperature of your refrigerator's cabinet within its 33 to 40 degree Fahrenheit range, while the clear LCD readout also helps keep track of the unit’s temperature. Plus, the unit will automatically defrost to keep food fresh and properly chilled.

Door Lock

In order to keep your foods more secure overnight and after business hours, this unit features a door lock.

Self-Closing Door

This door is self-closing with a stay-open feature, giving your staff the ability to more quickly and easily load your refrigerator when you get a delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Can I use this reach-in refrigerator to cool hot food?
No, reach-in refrigerators are intended for keeping cold food chilled, not chilling hot food. If you are looking for a unit to quickly chill hot food, check out our Avantco Refrigeration blast chillers.
Due to the narrow footprint of this model, adding casters would make it unstable and increase the risk of your unit tipping over. This item is only available with the included adjustable feet.
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
To promote proper air flow through your Avantco unit, please ensure that the wire ledges on the shelves are positioned toward the back of the unit. These ledges help keep enough space between your product and the back wall so that cold air can adequately circulate through the cabinet. Incorrectly installing the shelf ledges can restrict airflow, causing the temperature in the bottom of your unit to rise.
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
It is important to install this unit in a location that is not in direct sunlight. This unit is intended for indoor use in temperature-controlled environments with ambient temperatures below 75 degrees and 60% relative humidity.

Nice looking fridge. Runs fine but I would not buy again. Not an easy close door- they shut quite hard. The seals on both doors are loose and one will not pop back in on two areas.

Had about 6 months. Can't hold temp unless you maybe have 3 items in it! Would not recommend purchasing unless you plan to purchase another shortly after.

I bought this in Nov 23 and it sat for a bit waiting for construction. We ate up all the warranty time before it was even being used. In less than a year of service it went out and I lost so much food then had to buy a brand new machine and ended up getting a TRUE which was so much more expensivez

I ordered this item over 10 days ago, and it still hasn’t shipped or even finished processing. This seems to be a recurring issue, as several other reviews have mentioned the same problem. It’s frustrating to experience such long delays with no communication or update. Hoping the seller can improve turnaround times, as this really affects the overall buying experience.

Thank you for your review, Jacob! Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

It is perfect for our smaller location but still gives us a lot of space inside that we didn't have before.

Perfect size for what I needed. Nothing better than new coolers. Came in on a very nice, large pallet. No issues with shipping.

Great unit. Worked well for quite some time and then had a problem. Webstaurant stood up and replaced the unit with a brand new one, no cost out of my pocket 2 years down the line. Unbelievable. Thank you so much.
