Check height clearance—standard units are 850-900mm tall to fit under bar counters.
Power Source and Usage
Most run on standard 13A plugs—pair with other bar equipment like glass washers.
Look for energy efficiency ratings—A+ saves significant running costs.
Check daily power consumption—modern units use 2-4kWh per day.
How Commercial Triple Door Back Bar Bottle Coolers Work
These clever refrigeration units operate via a powerful compressor system that circulates refrigerant to maintain consistent temperatures between 2-10°C. The triple door design maximises access, with each section independently accessible while maintaining temperature. LED lighting illuminates your bottles beautifully through the glass doors, while adjustable shelving lets you arrange your most popular drinks for easy grabbing. The forced-air cooling system ensures every corner maintains perfect temperature—even during busy Friday night rushes when doors are constantly opening. Most units have self-closing doors too, so staff won't accidentally leave them open during hectic service!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Triple Door Back Bar Bottle Coolers
For optimal performance, organise your bottles with bestsellers in the most accessible positions—most staff are right-handed, so place popular drinks accordingly. Clean condenser coils monthly to maintain efficiency and prevent overheating. Stock your cooler at least 4 hours before service for perfectly chilled drinks, and consider using a bottle management system where staff restock from the back to ensure proper stock rotation. Finally, leave space between bottles for proper air circulation—overpacking reduces cooling efficiency.
