Polar is a UK refrigeration brand built around a practical idea: specify refrigeration by duty tier — not by “litres on paper”.

Polar is widely used in commercial kitchens that need practical, hard-working refrigeration for daily service. The G-Series range is built for frequent access and dependable operation in professional environments, therefore it suits restaurants, takeaways, prep kitchens, and busy foodservice sites needing reliable frozen storage in a compact footprint.
At KW Commercial Kitchen, we supply the Polar G-Series Chest Freezer, a commercial kitchen freezer delivering 378L capacity, a -18°C to -25°C operating range, and a stainless steel lid that doubles as a work surface in a 1435mm-wide footprint. Most importantly, it helps kitchens add frozen storage without sacrificing valuable prep space.
The Polar G-Series chest freezer combines large frozen holding volume, easy stock organisation, and space-efficient bench-top functionality for reliable daily service. Because the lid is stainless steel, the unit does more than hold stock. It also gives staff an extra surface for light prep, staging, or packing during service.
This professional kitchen freezer is well suited to restaurants, takeaways, cafés, dark kitchens, and catering operations that need dependable bulk frozen storage. The static cooling system runs quietly at around 40dB, while the 90mm insulation helps improve efficiency and temperature stability. Therefore, it is a smart option for sites where quiet operation and controlled holding temperatures both matter.
The cabinet is designed for everyday commercial use, with a white steel exterior, aluminium interior, and manual defrost operation. The always-on LED temperature display and intuitive digital controller make monitoring simple, while the two removable baskets improve access to high-use stock. During busy periods, that means less digging, faster retrieval, and better internal organisation.
Supplied on castors, the unit is easier to position and easier to move for cleaning. This is especially useful in commercial kitchen environments where hygiene routines matter and floor access is often limited. Most importantly, the stainless lid turns unused top space into a practical work zone, helping operators get more value from the same footprint.
This commercial grade chest freezer is intended for professional foodservice use in Australia. For electrical installation, confirm site power compatibility and applicable local requirements before commissioning. It should be operated within its designated temperature range to reduce food waste from decomposition or dehydration, with -18°C identified as the optimum storage temperature for frozen food. Suitable applications include restaurant prep areas, takeaway kitchens, café back-of-house storage, catering operations, and general commercial kitchen frozen stock holding.

Running cost note
Because the input wattage was not provided in the supplied specs, an accurate daily or annual electricity cost should be calculated from the data plate or supplier specification sheet. That said, the 90mm insulation and quiet static cooling design are intended to support efficient frozen holding in busy professional kitchens.

No. This model uses manual defrost. Therefore, operators should include regular defrosting in their maintenance routine to keep performance stable and maintain easy access to stock.
