Overview

FED-X XCB-72 Chef Base Refrigerated Drawer Bench 450L

The FED-X XCB-72 is a heavy-duty refrigerated chef base drawer bench purpose-built for busy commercial kitchens. With a 450L gross capacity and four GN pan-compatible drawers, it places chilled ingredients directly beneath the cooking line, cutting travel time and keeping service moving. The reinforced stainless steel top is designed to support heavy cooking equipment such as griddles, chargrills or countertop fryers, making it a true dual-function unit that combines cold storage and a solid workbench in a single compact footprint.

Tropicalised for Australian conditions and rated to a maximum ambient temperature of 32°C at 65% RH, the XCB-72 maintains a temperature range of -1°C to +5°C via a fan-forced evaporator system with a rapid recovery rate. The unit is built from stainless steel inside and out, insulated with 60mm HFC- and CFC-free foam, and rolls easily into position on heavy-duty castors with front-wheel brakes. It is specifically designed to integrate with Gaxmax cooking equipment, supporting a seamless, efficient kitchen layout.
