For convenience, six epoxy-coated shelves, which hold up to 88 lb. each, feature shelf clips for customization when desired. In addition, the bottom-mounted design makes it easy for employees to load and unload products due to the raised bottom shelf.

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.
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.
If your unit has pre-installed casters, it may be secured directly to the pallet for safe transport. To remove it safely, tilt the unit slightly to one side and use a wrench or socket set to loosen the bolts attaching it to the pallet. In some cases, you may need to pry up a pallet plank with a hammer to access the bolts or to release casters nested within the pallet base. If you are unsure or need assistance, we recommend contacting a local moving or equipment installation service for help.
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.
The units come with casters preassembled underneath the pallet.
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.
Due to the height of this item, it may not be able to fit through a standard 80" tall doorway when standing upright. Please consider the best means of entry before purchasing, or measure your entryway to ensure that you will be able to bring your order inside if the item cannot be carried on its side.

i bought this refrigerator on 02/18/2022 and after a year having problems with it. it gets a lot of water on the bottom and i contacted webstaurant customer service and she told me the warranty passed and you need to contact other service company to service it and you bought something on lower price. i paid for it and i could get other brands like everest with 5 years warranty.

Five Stars for ease of the ordering process, competitive pricing, on-time professional delivery, and of coarse, this high quality beautiful refrigerator. Its got a simple design that's surprisingly rugged. It comes packaged in multiple layers of plastic wrap, styrofoam, industrial cardboard, and a wooded crate at the bottom for added protection of the castors. I believe that it would have to fall off the truck to get damaged because of how much protective packaging they encased it in. There is a lot of trash to throw away after unpacking it. Here's what you need to know... 1. Delivered via LTL semi-truck. You need to specify if you need the tailgate for delivery. 2. It comes on a wood pallet, so you'll need to tip it slightly to remove the pallet from underneath. 3. Unscrew the wooden crate from the bottom of the fridge to remove the crate. 4. Casters come attached and ready to roll. 5. Read More

We purchased 2 of these units and started having issues 6 months later with it not keeping temp. We called the warranty company and it’s a phone tag game they play. We filed the claim after getting someone to finally communicate with us after 2 days then we were giving the excuse that someone would contact us back and it’s been 2 weeks. We’re running a daily business and once we made the call and file a claim on the product that they sold us a 3 year warranty why don’t they have the serial number? They took our money why didn’t the information that was sold to us get transferred to them? Another misleading opportunity for them to get you off the phone to prolong the situation. We still have no phone call back and our frig still isn’t keeping temp because the warranty company has not honored their agreement. Purchase additional warranty at your own risk.

Fridge is great. Tracking did not work. Requested notice of delivery. This did not happen. It was delivered to my TN location in the middle of lunch. Tracking still showed it was in KY. Had to un box it and deal with installation at lunchtime. Not ideal, with no notice at all too.

If this had lasted a couple years before problems I may have given in 2 stars.... maybe. But, I have had this less than 2 months, and the evaporator fan broke already. Lost all my perishables.

Piece of junk. Didn’t work out of the box. Won’t cool. They want me to file a claim instead of helping me. This company doesn’t take care of their customers. Once they get your money they and you down the road. I’m beyond disappointed.
