Why this prep counter earns its place
The Polar U-Series GD883 is a double-door prep counter fridge for busy chilled prep lines that need generous base storage and fast access to ingredients. Its 527 litre gross volume gives more working capacity than compact saladettes, while the gastronorm top section is supplied with 16 x 1/6 size, 100 mm deep polycarbonate GN pans for portioned service stock.
The cabinet is specified for +2 to +8 °C operation with ventilated cooling and R290 refrigerant with GWP 3. The manufacturer describes powerful forced-air cooling for frequent access, plus an insulated stainless steel lid, simple digital controls, a removable chopping board and lockable castors, all aimed at keeping the prep station usable through heavy service.
Stainless steel construction, 2 shelves and hinged doors make the base straightforward to organise and clean. The explicit size rows list 1555 mm width, 760 mm depth and 1097 mm height, with a 159 kg gross weight, so it needs proper access planning as well as space on the counter run.
