Why this upright freezer earns its place
The Polar G-Series PG055 is a double stable-door upright gastro freezer for high-output kitchens moving serious volumes of frozen stock between freezer, cold room and combi oven. Each door splits into independent top and bottom sections — four lockable openings in total — so different staff can access separate zones without warming the whole cabinet.
Inside, 780 litres of net usable capacity spreads across eight shelves plus two floor protectors, with room for up to 20 double-size (2/1) 100mm deep gastronorm trays. Forced air cooling holds the standard commercial deep-freeze band of -22 to -18°C and recovers after door openings, with automatic defrost clearing frost build-up without staff intervention. Energy Class D at 3409.1 kWh a year (EEI 58.3%) reflects the real energy cost of holding sub-zero temperatures across a large-capacity double cabinet — worth weighing against actual frozen stock turnover.
Build is stainless steel throughout, with lockable self-closing doors, removable door seals, a digital thermostat and display, and R290 refrigerant at Climate Class 5. Two years' parts and labour warranty is included as standard. Gross weight is 169kg, drawing 680W on a 220-240V supply, and heavy-duty castors make repositioning for cleaning or installation straightforward.
