Why Choose FED-X: Build Quality, Warranty, After-Sales

When it comes to Commercial Fridges, Commercial Freezers, and prep refrigeration, not all equipment is created equal. The FED-X range offers over a hundred different models, giving Australian hospitality businesses the flexibility to find the perfect fit—whether you run a small café, a high-volume QSR, or a multi-section restaurant kitchen.

Build That Works in Real Kitchens

FED-X units are designed with the demands of Australian kitchens in mind. Heavy-gauge stainless steel exteriors and interiors resist corrosion and make cleaning easier. Recessed door handles prevent knocks in tight service areas, while adjustable shelving and GN pan compatibility optimise space for your menu’s unique needs. High-quality door gaskets maintain cold air seals, and lockable castors provide mobility for cleaning and re-layout without heavy lifting.

Confidence with a Long Warranty

Every FED-X fridge, freezer, and prep counter comes with an industry-leading 2+2 year warranty (two years parts and labour + two years parts). This extended coverage reflects the manufacturer’s confidence in their build quality and ensures you’re protected against unexpected faults. Registering your unit upon purchase is quick and straightforward, locking in your warranty benefits from day one.

Service & Parts Availability

Downtime costs money. That’s why FED-X backs its products with responsive after-sales service and reliable parts availability across Australia. Unlike lesser-known imports that can leave you waiting weeks for spares, FED-X maintains a robust supply chain and a national service network to keep your kitchen running. This means fewer disruptions, faster repairs, and peace of mind during your busiest trading periods.

With over a hundred different options—from upright Commercial Fridges and solid-door freezers to glass-door merchandisers and pizza prep benches—there’s a FED-X solution for every workflow. The only thing left is to choose yours before the fedx15 offer expires on 25 December 2025.

Product Families Overview

The FED-X Commercial Fridge and Commercial Freezer range covers every refrigeration scenario you’ll encounter in an Australian hospitality business. By understanding the main product families, you can quickly identify which type—or combination—will best support your menu, workflow, and space constraints.

Upright Fridges & Freezers

Best for bulk storage in both back-of-house and front-of-house. Available in solid door models for maximum insulation or glass door designs for product visibility. Ideal for kitchens with higher stock turnover and where vertical space utilisation is critical.

Undercounter / Workbench Units

Perfect for tight kitchens or busy service lines, undercounter units double as work surfaces and cold storage. FED-X workbench fridges and freezers come with stainless steel tops for food prep, adjustable shelving, and options for door or drawer configurations.

Prep Counters (Pizza / Salad)

Designed for rapid assembly of pizzas, salads, and sandwiches, these units feature refrigerated GN pan rails, food-safe holding temperatures, and night lids or sneeze guards. Keep ingredients fresh and within arm’s reach during service while maintaining compliance with FSANZ standards.

Display Merchandisers

For front-of-house merchandising, FED-X glass door display fridges and freezers offer high visibility, LED lighting, and adjustable shelving. Ideal for beverages, grab-and-go items, and impulse purchases, these units enhance presentation while maintaining food-safe conditions.

All specifications are sourced from the FED-X brand page and individual product sheets to ensure accuracy.

Quick Compare Tables: Which Fridge/Freezer Fits Your Venue

Matching the right Commercial Fridge or Commercial Freezer to your venue type is key to maximising efficiency, food safety, and return on investment. The tables below provide a clear snapshot of which FED-X solutions work best for different Australian hospitality settings, plus how door style and airflow affect performance.

Tip: When selecting a FED-X unit, consider where it will be placed, how often the doors will be opened, and whether front-of-house visibility is part of your sales strategy. For the full range of configurations, visit the FED-X brand page.

How to Choose: Capacity, Door Type, Airflow, Ambient Rating, Power

Choosing the right Commercial Fridge or Commercial Freezer isn’t just about dimensions or price. For Australian operators, it’s about balancing storage capacity, workflow efficiency, energy use, and compliance with local standards such as FSANZ food safety guidelines and AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules. This section breaks down the critical factors you must evaluate before buying a FED-X unit.

Capacity & Footprint

Start by calculating your daily and weekly storage needs. As a rule of thumb, allow at least 0.1–0.15 m³ of refrigerated space per 10–15 covers per service. For example, a 400-litre upright FED-X fridge suits a 60–80 cover café, while high-volume venues may require multiple uprights or a combination of upright and undercounter units. Always measure doorways, service corridors, and final placement space—factor in ventilation clearances as per manufacturer guidelines.

Door Style: Solid vs Glass

Solid doors provide superior insulation and are ideal for back-of-house storage, reducing energy consumption in hot Australian summers. Glass doors, while slightly less efficient, are perfect for merchandising in front-of-house areas, boosting impulse purchases. In high ambient environments, ensure glass door units are rated for climate class 4 or above to maintain FSANZ-compliant holding temperatures.

Airflow: Fan-Assisted vs Static

Fan-assisted cooling ensures even temperature distribution, making it ideal for busy service lines where doors are opened frequently. Static cooling is gentler and suited to delicate items but requires careful loading to avoid blocking cold air circulation. For mixed loads, consider a fan-assisted FED-X model with adjustable shelving to keep airflow unobstructed.

Ambient Rating & Placement

Ambient rating indicates the maximum surrounding temperature in which a fridge/freezer can maintain food-safe storage. In Australia’s hotter regions—or kitchens with limited air conditioning—select units rated for 38°C+ ambient. Avoid placing units near ovens, fryers, or direct sunlight to reduce compressor strain and extend lifespan.

Power & Plug Requirements

Check the unit’s total connected load and amperage. Most FED-X commercial fridges run on a 10A plug, but larger freezers or multi-door models may require 15A or dedicated circuits. Installation must comply with AS/NZS 3000, and it’s recommended to have a licensed electrician verify supply capacity before installation, especially for older premises.

Pro tip: For maximum ROI, match your FED-X unit’s features to your busiest service requirements, not just average use—this ensures consistent performance under peak load without over-investing in capacity you don’t need.

Prep Fridges (Pizza / Salad): Speed with Food Safety

In high-turnover kitchens, a well-designed prep fridge can shave minutes off ticket times while maintaining strict FSANZ food safety standards. The FED-X Commercial Fridge prep counter range is purpose-built for Australian cafés, pizzerias, sandwich shops, and salad bars, combining refrigerated storage, workbench space, and GN pan rails in one streamlined unit.

GN Pan Rails & Configuration

FED-X prep fridges accommodate standard Gastronorm pans (commonly 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6 sizes), giving you flexibility to tailor your layout to your menu. For example, a pizza prep counter might feature three 1/3 pans for cheeses and sauces plus multiple 1/6 pans for toppings, while a salad bar could prioritise shallow pans for leafy greens and dressings. Removable GN pans make restocking and cleaning more efficient, reducing downtime during service.

Cold-Chain Integrity

Ingredient temperature control is non-negotiable. FED-X prep counters maintain consistent holding temperatures across all pans, even with frequent lid openings, thanks to robust fan-assisted cooling systems. Night lids or sneeze guards are available to protect contents during off-service periods and comply with food safety display requirements. For raw proteins, ensure separate GN pans and utensils are used to prevent cross-contamination.

Workflow & Cleaning

By integrating your ingredient storage and assembly surface, a FED-X prep fridge reduces steps and keeps everything within easy reach. Stainless steel worktops double as durable prep surfaces, and lockable castors allow for easy relocation when cleaning behind or beneath units. Smooth interior walls and removable door gaskets make deep cleaning faster and more effective, while self-closing doors minimise cold air loss during peak prep activity.

Tip: Plan your GN pan configuration before purchasing. This ensures your FED-X prep fridge arrives ready to integrate seamlessly into your service line, avoiding costly re-layouts after installation.

Running Costs & Reliability

Investing in a Commercial Fridge or Commercial Freezer is only the beginning — how you position, maintain, and service your FED-X unit will determine its true cost of ownership. By optimising placement and upkeep, Australian operators can significantly reduce energy use, extend equipment lifespan, and avoid costly breakdowns during peak service.

Placement = Performance

Where you position your refrigeration impacts both energy efficiency and reliability. Keep units away from ovens, deep fryers, and direct sunlight to reduce compressor strain. Maintain manufacturer-recommended ventilation clearances — typically 50–100mm around sides and back — to allow heat dissipation. In hot Australian kitchens, consider supplemental ventilation or air conditioning to maintain ambient temperature within the unit’s rated range.

Daily & Weekly Maintenance

• Daily: Wipe down door gaskets with mild detergent to maintain seals, check that doors close fully, and remove debris from GN pans or shelves.
• Weekly: Clean condenser coils using a soft brush or vacuum to improve heat exchange and reduce energy draw; empty and sanitise drip trays; check for ice build-up in freezers and defrost if needed.

Following a set cleaning schedule not only improves hygiene but also helps the unit run more efficiently, lowering your electricity bills over time.

Serviceability

FED-X designs its commercial refrigeration for ease of service. Lockable castors make it simple to pull units away from walls for maintenance, and access panels allow technicians to reach critical components without dismantling the entire unit. This reduces downtime and labour costs. Plus, FED-X’s national service network and ready availability of spare parts mean repairs can be completed quickly — a key advantage over lesser-known brands with limited support.

Pro tip: Track your monthly electricity costs before and after maintenance — you’ll often see a noticeable drop when units are kept clean and well-ventilated.

7. What plug do I need?

Most FED-X fridges and freezers run on standard 10A plugs. Larger multi-door freezers or high-capacity units may require a 15A plug. Always check the spec sheet and ensure compliance with AS/NZS 3000.

8. What’s the typical lead time?

9. Can I add extra shelves or drawers later?

Yes. Many FED-X models accept optional shelf kits or drawer modules. Check compatibility with your model number before purchase.

10. What if my kitchen runs very hot?
