4 Shelves

Made from plastic-coated steel, the shelves in this freezer are easy to install and adjust to meet the demands of changing inventory needs. Each shelf has a 88 lb. load capacity.

Bottom-Mounted Refrigeration

A 4/5 hp refrigeration system is located on the bottom, which draws air from the coolest part of the room for better efficiency while also increasing the height of the bottom shelf to make loading and unloading easier.

Simple Controls

An intuitive control makes it easy to adjust the temperature as needed, and it also comes with a separate switch for the lighting. A digital display on the exterior allows you to see the temperature inside.

Display a Variety of Products

This merchandiser boasts interior LED lighting on the right side to always show your products at their best. The anti-fogging dual-pane tempered glass door helps ensure a crystal-clear view of the interior, while integrated magnetic gaskets enable self-closing to ensure the door closes firmly after use every time, saving energy and maintaining the quality of your food. The unit is ideal for bottled and canned beverages, and can also be used to show off salads, sandwiches, and other pre-packaged foods.

White Steel Exterior with 4" Casters

Designed with sharp looks and usability in mind, this unit is the perfect display for your products with its sleek finish. The 4" casters make this unit mobile and, since the housing is made from white coated steel, you can be sure that it will provide superior durability.

Automatic Defrost

This merchandiser features automatic defrosting, which helps to minimize manual maintenance for hassle-free use. When the unit needs to defrost for optimal performance, the defrost kicks in. It requires a 120V electrical connection for operation.

Energy-Efficient Refrigeration

Designed to maintain temperatures from -8 to -1 degree Fahrenheit, this freezer boasts a bottom-mounted 5/6 hp compressor that runs on 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.

Customizable Top Panel

Advertise your establishment's logo by placing it on the top of your merchandiser for customers to see. Simply add your logo to our selection of pre-designed panel graphics or create a completely custom design to raise brand awareness and let customers know what’s inside the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Are there any temperature specifications to keep in mind when installing this glass door unit?
This unit has a maximum ambient temperature rating of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. However, high humidity environments may cause excessive condensation and ice accumulation in the unit and on its doors.
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.
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.
No, there is no option to change the door opening direction. For Avantco Refrigeration products that do feature this option, the hinge reversal kit will be offered in the "Accessories & Options" dropdown on the product page.
The units come with casters preassembled underneath the pallet.
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.
