Convenient Capacity

For ultimate storage flexibility, this freezer even comes with 6 epoxy coated shelves with a versatile shelf slide design that can accept full size food pans! Avantco reach-ins are the only models in the industry that come standard with food pan slides. Designed for your utmost convenience, the unit is sure to accommodate your ever-evolving needs as your business grows, expands, and transforms over time.

Strong and Sturdy

Designed with a 430 stainless steel door and exterior sides, the unit features a sleek appearance that's matched with its ability to withstand busy, heavy-use kitchens. Plus, the interior is 304 stainless steel, giving the unit superior corrosion resistance and cleanability; it won't become damaged by inevitable spills and messes. As a result, it's easier for your employees to maintain during the hustle and bustle of their daily tasks. For maximum structural rigidity and temperature retention to keep your products fresh, the entire cabinet is foamed-in place using polyurethane insulation.

Easy Operation

Making the freezer easy to monitor and operate, an automatic defrost feature and a digital temperature control with digital display are integrated for intuitive use.

Self-Closing Doors

Each solid door includes a self-closing mechanism, which enables easy access at all times. Plus, the doors lock, allowing you to secure ingredients during off-hours.

Even Airflow

Thanks to a perforated back panel, this unit promotes more even airflow throughout the cabinet to keep your cold foods at a consistent temperature.

Energy-Efficient Refrigeration

Programmed to maintain temperatures between -8 and -1 degrees Fahrenheit, this freezer ensures that all food products are held in a proper, food safe environment to preserve their quality and integrity. To help acheive this, the robust, bottom-mounted 1 2/7 hp compressor uses R290 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.

Bottom-Mounted Compressor

In addition, the bottom-mounted design makes it easy for employees to load and unload products due to the raised bottom shelf.

Casters for Mobility

Outfitted with a set of casters, the unit easily rolls aside for regular cleaning or maintenance tasks.

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 recently ordered a pair of these freezers. The shipping was prompt, and the freezers were well protected in transport. The manufacturing quality was spotty. One of the freezers was too narrow to fit the shelves properly even after tweeking all the shelf brackets and supports. The other freezer was correct. The difference in width between the freezers was only an 1/8 of an inch per side, but that was enough to make it extremely hard (and in several places, impossible) to slide the shelves in and out. I wound up having to peel off some of the rubber shelf coating to get the shelves to slide properly. In addition, the lock mechanisms needed modification to work. Neither of these problems was a deal-breaker, but I was disappointed in the quality of the manufacturing.

Very disappointed in delivery. I made the delivery time for 4pm and they called around 11am saying they were almost there. They unloaded the freezer in the wrong location and wanted to charge me $ to load it up and move it 40yards. The dispatcher would not return my call only the driver would talk and said he was doing what he was told to do. The freezer also showed up with a few dents.

We have had no functionality issues with this freezer. It is sturdy and has worked flawlessly. Our only problem is that we have had 2 employees injure themselves with serious lacerations removing food from the bottom of the freezer. There is a rail that holds the shelves and the metal at the bottom is EXTREMELY sharp. One required stitches after raking the back of his hand on the metal bar.
