Commercial Freezers Basics

Pick the type of commercial freezer that best fits your company's needs

By Casey Holley
Buying a commercial freezer for your business is a major decision that should be thoroughly researched. In order to choose the commercial freezer that best fits your needs, you need to consider the size and type of product you will keep in the freezer.

There are numerous types, styles and sizes of commercial freezers available. Keep these commercial freezers basics in mind when narrowing down your choices:

1. Purchase a commercial walk in freezer to accommodate large cases or multiple cases of product.

2. Buy reach in freezers if space is a consideration and you have only small to medium sized items to store in them.

3. Show off your product with commercial display freezers.

4. Consider specialty commercial freezers for certain products.

 

Think about purchasing commercial walk in freezers

A commercial walk in freezer is ideal for many restaurants and stores that need to house large cases or multiple cases of product. Some of these commercial restaurant freezers are inside of the building and others attach to the building. While the majority of commercial walk in freezers are custom made, there are pre-assembled models for sale if you need the freezer as quickly as possible.
Try: Gala Source has 7x7 or 10x10 commercial walk in freezers for sale. You can find remote cooled, wall cooled and floor cooled models at this store. Barr sells pre assembled commercial walk in coolers. Blueprints of all the freezers are available online. This company offers fast shipping options.

Decide if reach in commercial freezers fit your needs

If space is a consideration or you only have small items to store in the freezer, a reach in commercial freezer may be a good choice. The size of these freezers varies greatly. You can find some models that will fit under the counter and other models that take up an entire wall.
Try: You can find commercial coolers and freezers at ivgStores. This company offers free shipping and discounted prices on many freezers. Central Restaurant Products sells chest type and traditional reach in type commercial freezers. This company offers lease to own options.

Consider glass door commercial freezers

Glass door, or merchandiser restaurant freezers, are ideal for businesses that sell premade frozen items. These commercial display freezers are available in floor models or counter top models.
Try: Big Tray sells glass door commercial display freezers featuring single, double and triple doors. MyChefStore.com sells swing door and counter top commercial freezers at discounted prices.

Invest in specialty commercial freezers

Specialty commercial freezers, such as food specific freezers and work top display freezers, are necessary in some specialty stores. Food specific commercial freezers, such as ice cream freezers, keep the product at predetermined temperatures considered ideal for that product.
Try: Consolidated Foodservice sells numerous commercial freezers, including ice cream freezers. The price and freight cost are displayed prior to adding the item to your shopping cart online. Live chat is available should you need help during regular business hours. Food Service Warehouse offers a varied selection of commercial freezers, including work top freezers. This company offers free freight on certain items, detailed information on all items and lease to own options.

 

  • Before you buy a new commercial freezer, measure the doors, access points and placement location to ensure the unit can be installed without having to remove obstacles.
