Reach-In Refrigerators

Commercial Reach-In Refrigerators in the GTA & Canada

Behind-the-line cold storage keeps a kitchen moving, and our Reach-In Refrigerators collection covers the solid-door units built for exactly that job. Pick a single, double, or triple door refrigerator sized to your space — from an 18-inch slim single-door unit up to an 82-inch triple-door model that holds a full day's inventory. Most of our lineup is Nordic Air, our proprietary line and a reliable, budget-friendly choice for restaurants, cafes, and delis, alongside Atosa reach-in refrigerators for a step up in features. For a premium build, we also carry Traulsen and True Refrigeration commercial fridges, both known for tighter temperature control and a longer service life, plus EFI for a value-priced option in between. Need frozen storage too? Our Reach-In Freezers collection covers the same door configurations built for below-zero storage. Every unit here is NSF-certified stainless steel, built to handle a busy line. Whether you're outfitting a kitchen in Toronto, Mississauga, or Hamilton, right here in Vaughan, or anywhere else across the GTA and Canada, we ship reach-in refrigerators fast, with sizes to fit a small cafe or a high-volume restaurant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What is a reach-in refrigerator?

A reach-in refrigerator is a free-standing, solid-door unit built for a commercial kitchen — the compressor and cold storage are self-contained, so staff can open a door and reach directly in instead of stepping into a separate cold room. That's the main difference from a walk-in refrigerator, which is its own insulated room built into the kitchen. Phoenix Food Equipment carries reach-in refrigerators from Nordic Air, Atosa, Traulsen, True Refrigeration, and EFI, in single, double, and triple door configurations to match any kitchen size.

What's the difference between a top mount and bottom mount reach-in refrigerator?

A top mount reach-in refrigerator has its compressor built into the top of the cabinet, keeping the mechanical parts up and away from spills, mopping, and hose-downs. A bottom mount unit has the compressor underneath instead, which lowers the unit's center of gravity and gives a technician more room to service it without needing extra clearance above the cabinet. Both cool just as effectively — the choice usually comes down to kitchen layout and how much room you have overhead. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both top mount and bottom mount reach-in refrigerators across our Nordic Air, Atosa, and Traulsen lines.

How do I choose between a single, double, or triple door reach-in refrigerator?

Door count comes down to how much cold storage your kitchen needs and how much wall space you have to work with. A single door reach-in refrigerator (18 to 30 inches wide in our lineup) suits a smaller kitchen or a secondary storage spot, a double door unit (40 to 54 inches) covers most mid-size restaurants, and a triple door refrigerator (76 to 82 inches) gives a high-volume kitchen enough capacity to avoid restocking mid-shift. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks single, double, and triple door reach-in refrigerators from Atosa, Nordic Air, True Refrigeration, and Traulsen across that full size range.
