What is a commercial chest cooler?
A commercial chest cooler is a refrigeration unit designed for chilled storage of beverages or fresh produce in professional settings. Most often, it has static cooling which means it has a low energy consumption and low noise level. The design is minimalistic but highly practical. It provides easy access to the contents inside, either with a solid hinged lid or with removable sliding lids.
The advantages of using chest coolers from TEFCOLD
At TEFCOLD, we offer several ranges of chest coolers and chest bottle coolers. Each range has its own unique features, but they also have some essential things in common.
- Low running costs

- Easy maintenance
Chest coolers are by nature one of the most simple cooling solutions, you can opt for. Keeping it simple in the design, also means keeping maintenance to a minimum.
Which industries can benefit from a new chest cooler?
In our experience, chest coolers are most often placed in hospitality environments. Here they serve two main purposes: keeping food cold or keeping beverages cold.
- Professional kitchens
A commercial chest cooler is a great asset for any kitchen. It provides a spacious cooling solution for bulk storage of fresh ingredients, ready to be turned into delicious meals. With easy access, it contributes to a smooth workflow.
- Bars, events, festivals
In hospitality environments, customer service is everything. While consumers have become accustomed to waiting a while for their food to be prepared, they expect instant delivery of cold beverages, especially if they have been queueing at the bar for a while. Quick and easy access to chilled beverages is therefore essential in keeping the service running smoothly and customers happy.
That is where commercial chest coolers come in. They allow bar staff to serve bottles of beer, cider, or soft drinks efficiently without having to leave the bar area or spend time on restocking during service. This helps keep queues to a minimum and speed up customer serve time.
How to choose the right chest cooler
There are several factors to consider, when choosing a chest cooler for your business. We have collected some of the most important for you here:
- Purpose
Different ranges of chest coolers offer different features. You should therefore choose a model made for your specific needs. If you run a bar, a chest bottle cooler with sliding lids is most likely the best option for you. If you run a kitchen, on the other hand, choose a model that is ideal for storing fresh produce instead – here there is no need for sliding lids. And if you use chest coolers for events, it can be beneficial to choose a model that can be stacked during transportation.
- Size
It is perhaps obvious but choose a chest cooler that fits your space and storage requirements. Make sure that the cooler is big enough to contain enough beverages for your busy service hours, so you only need to restock during more quiet periods.
- Energy efficiency
Select an energy-efficient chest cooler to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
- Branding opportunities
If required, explore options for customizing the cooler with branding to promote your company or product selection.
