Overview

Thermaster WD256G 256L Chest Freezer with Flat Glass Sliding Lids

The Thermaster WD256G is a 256-litre commercial chest freezer fitted with dual flat, tempered LOW-E sliding glass lids, making it equally suited to back-of-house frozen storage and front-of-house product display in cafés, small restaurants, convenience stores and catering operations. Built with an aluminium-lined interior and an aluminium ABS cabinet frame over a Colorbond body, the unit is designed for the rigours of daily commercial use while keeping a compact footprint.

Powered by an efficient compressor running on R290 natural refrigerant, the WD256G achieves a 7-star GEMS energy rating and maintains a consistent temperature range of -18°C to -22°C in ambient conditions up to 32°C at 55% relative humidity. Digital controls, an LED interior light, and a built-in door lock round out a feature set that balances operational convenience with strong energy and food-safety performance.

Key Benefits

• Sliding glass lids minimise cold air loss every time stock is accessed, supporting energy efficiency and reducing temperature recovery time.
• LOW-E tempered glass panels provide clear visibility of frozen stock for both staff and customers, enabling dual use as a merchandising display unit.
• R290 natural refrigerant combined with a 7-star GEMS rating lowers ongoing energy costs compared with lower-rated alternatives.
• Three removable wire baskets allow frozen stock to be organised and rotated quickly, speeding up service during busy periods.
• Digital temperature control and a built-in door lock give operators precise oversight of food safety compliance.
• Castors allow the unit to be repositioned easily for cleaning, floor layout changes or venue set-up.
• Manual defrost and easy-access condensers simplify routine maintenance, reducing downtime.
• Low-noise operation suits front-of-house or open-plan environments where ambient noise levels matter.
• A 2-year parts and labour warranty plus an additional 2-year parts-only warranty (when registered within 14 days of invoice) provides extended coverage and peace of mind.
