Commercial Chest Freezers for Reliable Frozen Storage
Keep frozen ingredients, packaged foods and bulk stock safely stored with a commercial chest freezer from CaterWize. Our Fridge Star granite-top chest freezers provide practical frozen storage for restaurants, takeaways, butcheries, convenience stores, supermarkets, hotels and other foodservice businesses.
Choose from capacities ranging from 195L to 545L, with compact options for smaller premises and larger models for businesses that require more storage. The 195L and 250L chest freezers are also available in white or grey, allowing you to choose the finish that best suits your space.
Choosing the Right Chest Freezer Size
The right freezer will depend on the amount of frozen stock you keep, your available floor space and how frequently products need to be accessed.
Before selecting a model, compare its:
- Storage capacity
- External dimensions
- Number of baskets
- Daily energy consumption
- Cooling system
- Temperature controls
- Available finishes
Compact 195L and 250L Chest Freezers
The 195L and 250L models are practical for smaller shops, takeaways, cafés and commercial kitchens where floor space is limited. They provide useful frozen storage without requiring the space of a larger freezer.
Both sizes are available in white or grey and include a storage basket to keep smaller or frequently used products within easy reach.
Larger 390L and 545L Chest Freezers
The 390L and 545L models provide more capacity for restaurants, butcheries, supermarkets, hotels and businesses that store larger quantities of frozen ingredients or packaged products.
These larger units are better suited to businesses that buy in bulk, carry a wider range of frozen stock or need additional storage to support busy trading periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size chest freezer should I choose?
A 195L or 250L chest freezer is suitable for smaller spaces and moderate frozen-storage requirements. A 390L or 545L model is better for businesses that store larger quantities or buy frozen stock in bulk.
Measure the installation area before purchasing and allow the ventilation clearance recommended for the chosen model.
Is a chest freezer the same as a deep freezer?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A chest freezer, sometimes called a deep freezer, opens from the top and provides practical storage for frozen products and bulk stock.
What is the difference between a chest freezer and an upright freezer?
A chest freezer opens from the top and generally provides open storage for larger or bulk products. An upright freezer opens from the front and uses shelves to separate stock. The best option depends on your available space, stock organisation and access requirements.
Do the chest freezers include storage baskets?
The models in this range include baskets to help organise smaller products and frequently accessed stock. The number and size of the baskets differ between models, so check the individual product specifications before purchasing.
Are grey chest freezers available?
Yes. The 195L and 250L granite-top chest freezers are available in white and grey. Colour availability can be selected on the relevant product page.
Are these chest freezers suitable for commercial use?
Yes. The range is suited to foodservice, hospitality and retail businesses requiring additional frozen-storage capacity. Choose a model based on the amount of stock you need to store, the available floor space and the product specifications.
