Why this upright fridge earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA050 single door upright fridge delivers dependable, no-frills chilled storage for commercial kitchens that need reliable capacity rather than display features. At 650-litre class with 408 litres usable, it's sized for kitchens running real volume through a single-door format.
Three adjustable shelves give 408 litres of usable capacity, and the stamped grade 304 stainless steel interior is 2/1 gastronorm compatible, so shelves can be swapped for GN trays that slot straight into the shelf supports with no extra guides needed. Forced air cooling holds -2 to +8°C consistently throughout the cabinet, and the unit is rated Climate Class 5, keeping performance stable in ambient conditions up to 40°C.
Stainless steel construction runs inside and out, refrigerant is R600a, and the fridge draws 250W through 100mm of insulation that helps keep running costs down. The self-closing door adds both safety and efficiency, automatic electronic defrost keeps things frost-free without manual intervention, and a user-friendly digital controller with LED display gives an accurate readout. The door is reversible and lockable, and the whole unit sits on lockable castors. It's backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty and weighs 134kg gross.
