Commercial Under Bench Fridges

Space is always at a premium in any establishment, no matter whether you have 20 seats or 200, and one of the key benefits of under-bench fridges is how conveniently they can be tucked away under your workspace. Whether you install them under the bar to store beer, wine, and soft drinks, or keep them in the kitchen to get easy access to ingredients while you’re prepping meals, they free up the bench and the floor in your bar, restaurant or cafe.

Another key benefit is that they’re incredibly easy to access and reduce the amount of walking needed from staff when serving. When the drinks and food are easy to see, serve and put away, service gets faster. Under bench models are energy-efficient refrigeration options, thanks to their size and modern refrigerants. Most come with adjustable shelving, so you can move the shelves around to suit the stock.

Some smaller models may be suitable for pop-up eateries and food trucks, though we recommend checking the information on the product pages to see what power source they need. We can also assist in making the decision easy for you - just contact the team at REO, and we can give you a personal recommendation.

We have a wide range of models, sizes and door configurations available in our under-bench fridge collection. You can find everything from glass door display fridges to four-door under-bench fridges with pull-out drawers. To help narrow your options down, you can filter by how many doors you want, ranging from single door models up to four doors, along with size, price and refrigerant type. Drawers take the place of a door rather than adding to the cabinet, three drawers per door position, so a nine drawer unit is the same length as a three door.

We have all the top brands in the commercial refrigeration industry, and a partnership that means we can arrange custom refrigeration for your business.

As with any form of refrigeration, you’ll need to clean and tidy your fridge on a regular basis, both for health and safety but also to extend its lifespan. Stainless steel construction is incredibly easy to clean, and some under bench fridges will also come with auto-defrost features and curved corners, making them low maintenance to clean. Detailed care guidelines come from the manufacturer with the fridge, so you can look after it long term.

While all of the brands we stock offer high-quality refrigerators, the best-selling brands and those that stand out include FED-X, AG Equipment and Thermaster. With a wide variety of models, formats, price points and designs, each offers something different and unique to match the diverse needs of the hospitality industry.

Yes, absolutely. They have a digital display that gives you an accurate reading of the temperature of the fridge, with buttons or a dial that allows you to easily adjust the temperature if you need to increase or decrease it for different wine, beer, or produce.

Due to the size of under bench fridges, they’re typically very quiet and being buffered by your bar or food prep area will often reduce any noise they make even further. If you’re looking for a quiet fridge that also offers high-quality temperature consistency, we recommend opting for a Commercial Under Bench Fridge with fan-assisted cooling.

Not only does this reduce the amount of energy used to hold your fridge at a consistent temperature, but also means the fan isn’t running consistently, making for an extra quiet appliance for those ambient service areas.

You will see commercial under counter fridge and commercial under bench bar fridge used for the same kind of equipment. The name changes with the supplier and the region, not the job it does.
