Polar CK491-A U-Series 3 Door Premium Bar Fridge 543Ltr

The Polar CK491-A is a flagship U-Series three-door premium bar fridge offering 543 litres of refrigerated storage within a robust stainless steel cabinet. Designed to the highest commercial specifications, it maintains a precise 2°C to 6°C temperature range using forced-air cooling and is built to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 38°C, making it equally at home in hot back-of-house kitchens and busy front-of-house bar environments.

Combining practical storage with an elegant display function, the CK491-A features three glass doors that keep your best-selling chilled drinks fully visible while a 1030mm bench-height top doubles as a functional work surface. A dedicated utensil and cutlery drawer, 50mm splashback, adjustable shelves, and heavy-duty castors complete a thoughtfully specified unit that suits cafes, bars, restaurants, and any high-volume food service operation.
