Under Bench Fridge

Hospitality Connect stocks 208 under bench fridges, also sold as under counter and underbench models, for cafes, bars, restaurants and food trucks. The range includes solid and glass door cabinets in single and multi door widths, plus a small number of under bench freezers. Polar, Thermaster and Turbo Air are among the brands stocked.

Height is the constraint that matters most, because the cabinet has to sit beneath your existing bench without lifting the benchtop or blocking a walkway. Measure the clear height, the depth and the door swing before ordering. Door count sets the storage volume and how finely you can separate product, so a wider multi door cabinet holds considerably more than a single door unit. Solid doors hold temperature better under repeated opening, while glass doors let staff see stock during service. Trade pricing applies, delivered Australia-wide.

Why buy underbench fridges from Hospitality Connect

• Trade accounts welcome: Restaurants, hotels, café groups, caterers, and multi-site operators get volume pricing on ongoing supply and fit-outs.
• Hands-on product advice: Decades of trade experience on the team — we'll talk you through GN compatibility, voltage, gas vs electric, and whether you really need the bigger model.

• Backed by manufacturer warranty: All commercial equipment ships with full Australian manufacturer warranty and serviceable spare parts supply.

Underbench fridge care and longevity

• Clean condenser coils quarterly: Underbench units run hot near cooking equipment — quarterly coil cleans are essential.
• Check door seals monthly: Cracked seals leak cold air — look for moisture build-up around the door as a sign of seal failure.
• Calibrate thermostat annually: Use an independent probe to verify temperature matches the readout — drift over time is universal.
• Don't pack tightly: Air must circulate — packed-tight underbench units lose temperature during peak service.
• Watch for floor drainage: Defrost water needs to drain — blocked condensate trays flood the floor under the unit.
• Castor lubrication: Mobile units need castor lubrication so they roll out for cleaning — frozen castors mean dirty units.
