Polar GL180-A U-Series Single Door Bakery Fridge

The Polar GL180-A is a purpose-built upright bakery fridge from the U-Series commercial refrigeration range, designed for professional kitchens, bakeries, patisseries and on-site baking operations. With an 850-litre gross capacity and a net usable volume of 619 litres, it accommodates up to 20 standard 600x400mm patisserie trays (18 recommended), providing generous storage for dough, pastries, cookies and other baked goods throughout a busy service period.
