Under Counter Refrigerators

Commercial Under Counter Refrigerators & Fridges in Toronto & Canada

A busy line needs cold storage that stays out of the way, and our Under Counter Refrigerators collection covers the under counter fridges built to tuck beneath a counter or prep table without eating into floor space. Most units double as a refrigerated work table with a full stainless top, and a side-mounted compressor option — available from every brand we carry — keeps the full interior height free for pans instead of a compressor housing underneath. Most of our lineup comes from Nordic Air, our proprietary line and a budget-friendly choice for restaurants, cafes, and delis, alongside Atosa fridges in the same size range, including a glass door option for visible storage. For a premium build, we also carry Traulsen and True Refrigeration under counter units, both known for tighter temperature control and a longer service life. Sizes run from a compact 24-inch single-door fridge up to a 100-inch triple-door side-mounted unit. Need prep space too? Our Prep Refrigeration collection covers sandwich prep, pizza prep, and chef bases. Whether you're outfitting a kitchen in Toronto, Mississauga, or right here in Vaughan, we ship under counter fridges across the GTA — Markham and Hamilton included — and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between a rear-mounted and a side-mounted under counter refrigerator?

A rear-mounted (or bottom-mounted) under counter refrigerator keeps its compressor in a housing at the back or underneath the cabinet, which is the standard setup and works fine for most kitchens. A side-mounted unit moves the compressor out to one side instead, freeing up the full interior height for taller pans or bins and giving technicians easier access for service without pulling the whole unit out. Phoenix Food Equipment carries side-mounted models from Nordic Air, Atosa, Traulsen, and True Refrigeration alongside our standard rear-mounted lineup, so you can pick whichever fits your kitchen layout and storage needs.

Can I get a glass door under counter refrigerator?

Yes. Our Atosa AUR Series glass door under counter refrigerators swap the standard solid door for a clear glass front, so staff can see what's inside without opening the door — useful for a busy line where every second counts, or a spot where the fridge doubles as a small display. They come in the same 27, 36, and 48-inch single and double door sizes as our solid-door models, so swapping to glass doesn't mean giving up capacity.

What's the difference between an under counter refrigerator and a refrigerated work table?

A refrigerated work table adds a full flat stainless top that doubles as extra prep surface, on top of the under-counter cold storage — most of our Nordic Air, Atosa, and Traulsen Centerline lineup is built this way. A plain under counter refrigerator, like our Traulsen UHT Series, skips the extended work surface and is sized to tuck fully beneath an existing counter instead, without adding a usable top. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both styles, so you can decide whether you need the extra counter space or just the cold storage.
