Kings of the Chill: Under Counter & Worktop Refrigeration
In most restaurants and food service businesses, space is a premium. You can never get enough of it, and you always need more. Free up your floor space and pull double-duty with commercial undercounter and chef-base refrigeration. Freezers, refrigerators, beverage centers, and cold merchandisers are crucial to keeping your food looking and tasting its best. Find something to enhance your workflow and customer experience with our under counter and worktop refrigeration and freezer units at Eleven36. Here�s what you need to know.
An undercounter refrigerator or freezer makes great use of space. Explore units designed to refrigerate or freeze. You can also get more done with a chef-base that includes a worktop with refrigeration underneath! A refrigerator is one of your major appliances (even a compact unit), so be sure to do your homework before you buy.
Dressed to Chill: Commercial Undercounter Refrigerators
An undercounter refrigerator offers the ideal combination of function and versatility. Nestled under your existing counter space, your refrigerator cools food in a convenient spot, keeping everything you need at arm's length.
Undercounter Refrigerator Sizes
We carry undercounter refrigerators in an array of sizes-ideal for any kitchen layout. Small spaces may call for a compact model, while larger kitchens may also require more extensive storage. Our refrigeration units help you optimize and maximize your kitchen workspace, keeping surfaces free and clear. The ample storage space and organization help to ensure you have every ingredient fresh and at the ready. Deciding the dimensions of an undercounter refrigerator all depends on your layout. Fortunately, you have a lot of options to choose from.
Undercounter Refrigerator Door vs. Drawer Options
Different kitchens need different types of refrigeration. Some prefer door models, and some prefer undercounter refrigerator drawers. We carry both configurations, so you'll find the right option for your commercial kitchen. Door models feature a swing door, or doors that open to allow access to adjustable shelves, where you can store and access all sorts of items. Glass door refrigerators and solid door options are available. In refrigeration, door models are the more conventional option-grab and go, push the door shut, and you're ready to get cooking.
Drawer models are an organizer's dream. Drawers offer quick, easy access and are great for storage in a hurry. They also help maintain precise temperatures, keeping temperature loss to a minimum.
Refrigerator Shelving
Adjust shelving to accommodate all your storage needs, from your largest multi-gallon containers to your smallest stick of butter. Don�t lose or misplace ingredients. Adjust the shelves whenever you need to make changes. Many of the shelves and trays are removable, making them extra convenient to clean and organize.
Top-of-the-Line Brands
At Eleven36, we carry the highest quality brands like Hoshizaki, Traulsen, and True Manufacturing. We carefully vet each brand to ensure we offer top-of-the-line, exceptional quality, durability, and innovation in refrigeration technology. Keep all your ingredients at the perfect temperature.
Freeze the Day: Undercounter Freezers
Like our high-quality selection of undercounter refrigerators, we also offer plenty of undercounter freezer options too. Renowned brands like Traulsen and Hoshizaki ensure that your food stays icy cold and accessible without disrupting the flow of traffic in your kitchen. Here�s how undercounter freezers help you maximize your workspace.
Explore Freezer Sizes
We have different sizes for different kitchens. If you�re running a smaller operation, you may need a compact freezer that fits in a tight space. On the other hand, a large kitchen may require more extensive storage (while freeing up work and floor space). No matter what you require, we can help you find the right fit to store frozen items conveniently under your worktops. Keep your workspaces workable, and look for freezers that won't inhibit operations in your kitchen, especially during busy times.
The Question of Drawer vs. Door
As with undercounter refrigerators, commercial freezers present the door vs. drawer question. Which configuration is best for your kitchen? That�s your call, but we offer both designs to ensure you have exactly what you need. Door models open wide with spacious interiors to accommodate all types of upright items. Make extra room with adjustable shelving to hold large containers and those oversized frozen items. Drawer models are easy to access quickly. Often, frozen items are well-suited to drawer-type storage. Quickly and easily organize everything you need, then close up the freezer drawer to keep it nice and cold.
Freezer Shelving Configurations
Get your optimal shelving configuration in your freezer. Adjustable shelves let you make and remake the interior storage space to ensure every single item fits when and where you need it. Many freezer models also include pull-out shelves and trays for convenient cleaning.
Trust the Best Freezer Brands
As with our commercial refrigeration options, we carry the top brands of undercounter freezers. Select models from industry leaders like True Manufacturing, Traulsen, and Hoshizaki to keep up with the freezer demands of your commercial kitchen. With robust construction and the latest technology, freezers offer complete control and peace of mind-your foods will stay at the right temperature, no matter how chaotic things get during prep and cooking.

All Cold Into One: Chef Bases and Workstation Refrigeration
Looking for an option that can do it all? A chef base or workstation refrigeration unit gives you space for work and storage. What is a chef base? It�s a versatile unit that marries refrigerated storage with a sturdy worktop for a perfectly convenient solution.
The Advantages of a Chef Base Workstation
Workstation refrigeration units are low-profile, providing refrigerated storage beneath a heavy-duty worktop. It's an all-in-one option for kitchens that may not have floor space or under counter space available. Rather than remodel the kitchen, a chef base offers a setup with both. There are several benefits to storing ingredients right under your prep area. Grab what you need without running back and forth to the fridge. It's especially helpful for delicate food preparation, garnishes, and pastry, where those final touches need to be constantly chilled. Many worktops have durable stainless steel surfaces that are easy to keep clean and hygienic. The refrigeration units offer reliable, consistent temperature control, and the layout of the unit is easy to maintain and organize.
Find High-Quality Brands at Eleven36
We carry leading industry brands, including Continental, True Manufacturing, and Hoshizaki. Get a durable chef base that you�ll rely on for years. You can trust that both the work surface and refrigerator technology are top-notch-reliable quality and performance in one convenient, kitchen-friendly, streamlined unit.
If Looks Could Chill: Worktop Refrigerators
Sometimes, you need storage atop the worktop (not below). Commercial worktop refrigerators and merchandisers help to keep your prep and workspaces attractive and organized. Whether you need a unit that customers can access or something that looks good in their line of sight, we�ve got you covered with the best worktop refrigeration options. Worktop refrigeration and merchandisers are a convenient, eye-catching, and space-maximizing option. Offer products within reach without losing floor space.
Do More with Different Sizes
Choose from an array of sizes and configurations to meet your needs. Small, compact units are ideal for point-of-sale areas and customer-facing displays. Sell fresh produce and signature kitchen specials to customers on the go. Larger models can provide more extensive storage in the kitchen, behind the bar, and beyond. Store and display ingredients, beverages, and prepared dishes. Keep your beautiful creations in optimal condition, whether it�s an intricate pastry or a thoughtfully composed salad. Allow customers to grab and go with a refreshing beverage at eye level.
Get the Best of the Industry
At Eleven36, we carry the leading brands of worktop refrigerators and merchandisers. All the products we carry come with a reputation for excellence, durability, and advanced technology. Explore worktop refrigerators and merchandisers from Hoshizaki, Maxx Cold, True Manufacturing, and other trusted industry names. With innovative designs and unparalleled convenience, these worktop models are perfect for kitchens and retail spaces that need reliable cold storage to showcase products.
Why Choose Worktop Refrigerators?
Worktop refrigerators are ideal for small operations that don�t have floor space to spare. Ingredients are conveniently stored right on the worktop, so chefs can see exactly what they need. Merchandisers are accessible to customers, with appealing displays for impulse and point-of-sale purchases. Worktop refrigerators help you stay organized with adjustable shelves for optimal customer viewing. With a glance, customers can choose what they want from an attractive, clean, and well-ordered display.
Life is a Freeze: Worktop Freezers
What about frozen goods? Worktop freezers can be an excellent solution for a �chill� display and merchandising. Like worktop refrigerators, worktop freezers help you keep cold items at optimal temperatures and easily accessible.
Sizes and Options
Choose from an array of worktop freezers in many different sizes. Some small businesses, cafes, and lunch counters may only require a small amount of storage for a few key frozen products. Larger businesses and retailers may need more space for cool treats, especially during the summer months. A worktop freezer keeps everything cool-prepared dishes, ice cream, garnishes, and more. Get the frozen item you need right away and icy cold.
Freezer Drawers vs. Freezer Doors
For freezer storage, some prefer drawers, and some prefer cabinet-like door models. Fortunately, we offer both. Door units have swing-style doors that open up to access adjustable shelving. It�s the go-to solution for flexible freezing. Keep things clean and tidy with pull-out shelves. Drawer models are convenient and let you access what you need quickly. Drawers provide an organized option for stackable items. They�re convenient for high-traffic spots.
Our Worktop Freezer Brands
At Eleven36, we're proud to offer brands that you can trust. Hoshizaki freezers are an excellent choice thanks to their high performance, durability, and tough construction. Maxx Cold is another excellent option, especially suited for small-to-medium-sized kitchens. True Manufacturing is a top name in the industry, with innovative worktop freezer designs. You'll enjoy the maximized kitchen space and easy-to-use frozen storage no matter what brand you choose. Get what you need, cold and ready.

Whether you�re choosing an undercounter, worktop, or worktop unit, you can trust that when you buy from Eleven36, you�re getting a high-quality product.

The key to saving money in the long run is to invest wisely in your equipment today. When you buy top-quality equipment, you'll have fewer needs for repairs and expensive maintenance. You lose product, customers, and revenue when your refrigeration or freezer unit goes out. Take that headache off your plate by purchasing a reputable brand. Refrigeration is only as good as the seal, and often, with heavy use, seals and door insulation are the first things to go. When you buy a familiar, industry-leading brand, you'll avoid some of the most common points of refrigerator failure.

Go for the Cold: Choosing the Perfect Refrigeration Product
So, it�s come down to decision time. What do you need for your kitchen? Which refrigeration product will best fit the needs of your team and your customers? Do you opt for a single unit or several different units? There�s truly no one-size-fits-all answer to the type of commercial refrigeration unit your restaurant needs. As you explore your options, the following questions may help guide you.
- Do you need a refrigerator or a freezer (or both)? What do you need to support your kitchen and store your ingredients at the optimal temperature?
- Do you need an all-in-one solution or something to fit a compact space? For some situations, a comprehensive solution is the right answer, particularly in back-of-the-house. Smaller businesses and retail-focused businesses may want a compact, space-friendly solution.
- How much space is available? Assess the space for the refrigeration unit. Realistically, how large can the unit be without hampering workflow?
- Do you want doors or drawers? This may be a question of personal preference, but it�s an important consideration: do you prefer traditional cabinet-like storage, or would drawers be more convenient?
- What are your capacity requirements? One of the biggest considerations is what kind of capacity you need. If a fridge or freezer is too small to meet your needs, you�ll need another space-consuming unit, or you�ll be forever battling for enough room to store ingredients.
- What brand should you consider? Reputable brands make a huge difference in kitchen equipment. While there are some areas where you opt for a lesser-known brand, it's wise to invest in top-of-the-line refrigeration. Choose brands known for quality in the culinary industry, such as Hoshizaki, True Manufacturing, and Traulsen.
