Chest Coolers
Chest coolers are top-opening chilled storage units for bottled drinks, dairy or packaged chilled stock, used in pubs, cafes and hotel bars where a compact, high-capacity chilled footprint is needed. The chest format retains cold efficiently — cool air stays low in the cabinet even during frequent access.
Key specifications
Capacity sits between 200-400 litres, held at +1 to +4°C on a standard 13A single-phase supply.
Chest Coolers — FAQs
What are chest coolers typically used for in a pub or bar?
Chest coolers are commonly used for bottled drinks storage, backup dairy stock or packaged chilled items where quick top-access and high capacity per footprint matter more than organised shelving.
Do chest coolers hold temperature better than upright fridges when opened frequently?
Yes — because cold air sinks, chest format units lose less cool air per opening than upright fridges, which is useful behind a busy bar with frequent access throughout service.
