Display Fridge Hire FAQs

Lowe’s display fridge range covers serve-over counters, multideck chillers, glass door uprights (single, double, and triple-door), island display fridges, and specialist units including patisserie counters, wine fridges, and bar coolers. Dual-temperature fridge/freezer cabinets are also available. All units can be hired short-term, for a fixed project period, or on a long-term Rental+ agreement.

Request a quote online or call Lowe directly. Their team helps you choose the right unit based on your space, product type, and hire duration. Lowe handles delivery, installation, and commissioning. Maintenance is included during the rental period — if something breaks, their engineers fix it. When the hire ends, they collect the equipment. Options range from short-term event hire to multi-year Rental+ contracts.

Lowe operates from depots in Lisburn (Northern Ireland), Marchington (Staffordshire), and Cheltenham, covering the whole of the UK. For emergency breakdowns, they can deploy replacement equipment at short notice. Planned project deliveries are scheduled as part of the quote process. Lowe also has offices across Europe, the USA, UAE, and Asia for international requirements.

A multideck is a self-service unit — customers browse and pick items themselves. It suits supermarkets, convenience stores, and high-footfall environments. A serve-over counter sits behind a staffed service point, with products visible through glass but served by staff. It suits delis, butchers, bakeries, and food halls. If your space needs both, Lowe can supply a mix.

Yes. Lowe supplies display refrigeration for sporting events, music festivals, food festivals, and exhibitions. They handle equipment selection, delivery, installation, on-site maintenance, and collection. Their fleet includes over 100,000 pieces of refrigeration and catering equipment, so they can support large-scale events requiring multiple units.

For a cafe, a patisserie counter or glass door drinks fridge is usually the best fit. For a convenience store or small supermarket, multidecks are the standard — high capacity, self-service, and familiar to shoppers. For bars and hospitality venues, bottle coolers, wine fridges, and undercounter units are most common. For retail promotions, island display fridges work well in high-traffic floor positions. Lowe’s team can advise when you request a quote.

Yes. If your display fridge fails and you need a replacement quickly, Lowe can deploy equipment from their UK depots at short notice. Support runs 24/7, and the rental includes installation. Once your own equipment is repaired or replaced, Lowe collects the hire unit. This covers anything from a single glass door fridge to a full run of multidecks.

What is a commercial display fridge?

A commercial display fridge is a refrigerated cabinet built to keep chilled stock at temperature while making it visible to customers. Also known as a commercial fridge with a glass front, common formats include multideck chillers for self-service, serve-over counters for staffed display, glass-door uprights and bottle fridges for drinks, and curved-glass counters for patisserie and bakery use.

Our display fridge range

Lowe’s display range covers every format used across UK retail, hospitality, events and exhibitions. Every unit is available on short-term, project-based or long-term Rental+ rental.

Multideck display fridges

Multidecks are the standard for self-service refrigeration in supermarkets and convenience stores. Lowe stocks open-front and glass-door models in widths from 1.0m to 2.5m, plus low-front, tall and stainless-steel options for retail floors and back-of-house. Open-front cabinets are the main energy drain; switching to doored multidecks saved One Beyond over £320,000 a year across 100+ stores. View the C-series multideck range.

Glass-door upright display fridges

Single, double and triple glass-door uprights for drinks, dairy, ready meals and grab-and-go. Dual-temperature cabinets are available where one unit needs to switch between chilled and frozen duty. Smart-screen Interactive Edge models add IoT options for branded retail. View the G-series glass-door range.

Serve-over display counters

Glass-fronted serve-over counters for delis, butchers, bakeries, fishmongers and food halls. Lowe stocks straight, curved, low-height, corner and panoramic versions from 1.25m to 3.0m wide, including under-counter storage variants. View the serve-over counter range.

Drinks and bottle display fridges

Slimline beverage chillers, single and double glass-door drinks fridges, full-height bottle coolers and back-bar wine displays for hospitality, convenience and event bars. View the beverage chiller range.

Cake and patisserie display fridges

Curved-glass patisserie counters in 1.0m, 1.2m and 1.5m widths for cafés, bakeries and dessert specialists. Built for high product visibility with humidity control suited to cakes, tarts and chocolate work. View the patisserie display range.

Countertop and undercounter display fridges

Compact countertop chillers for coffee shop pastry, sandwich and bottled-drinks displays. Undercounter wine and beverage fridges for bar fit-outs and small retail counters. View countertop and undercounter options.

Meat and specialist display fridges

Single and double-door meat dry-ager cabinets for butchers and premium hospitality. Island display fridges for centre-aisle retail promotions. View the meat dry-ager range.

When businesses hire display refrigeration

Emergency breakdown cover

When a display fridge fails in a live retail or food-service environment, every hour costs revenue and stock. Lowe operates 24/7 from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham, with replacement units deployable at short notice across the UK. Hire the replacement for as long as you need; we handle installation on arrival and collection once your own equipment is back in service.

Store refurbishments and refits

When a store goes under refurbishment, refrigeration still has to keep running, either on-site through the works or relocated elsewhere. Lowe was named Asda’s Supplier of the Year in 2017 for this work, supplying temporary fridges and cold stores that keep stores trading through refit programmes. Project-based rental covers single-store works up to nationwide refit rollouts.

Seasonal peaks and promotional displays

For peak trading periods, Lowe supplies additional display capacity at scale. We deployed more than 1,500 modular cold rooms and refrigeration cabinets to over 100 Marks & Spencer stores for the Christmas peak alone. Summer drinks promotions, Christmas additions, limited-edition POS: the rental model lets you scale up and back down without the capex hit.

Exhibitions, trade shows and events

Lowe is the official refrigeration partner for major food and beverage exhibitions. Recent deployments include 2,048 units delivered across 40 trucks for Anuga. We also supplied 1,294 pieces of equipment that kept 1.2 million spectators fed across 28 sites at the Doha 2022 tournament. Browse the full list on the Lowe Rental case studies page.

Long-term branded fleet rental

Food and beverage brands use Lowe’s branded refrigeration service to deploy fully wrapped, brand-consistent display fridges across hundreds of retail and hospitality sites under multi-year Rental+ agreements. Little Moons scaled from 300 French retailers in 2018 to more than 600 branded units across 600 UK locations after their TikTok-driven UK launch.

  • Nationwide UK delivery and installation from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham
