Display Freezer Hire FAQs

Most commercial display freezers hold frozen stock at −18°C to −22°C, in line with UK Food Standards Agency guidance for frozen food. Soft-scoop ice cream cabinets run warmer, around −12°C to −14°C, to keep product at scooping consistency. Dual-temperature open-top units can switch between chilled and frozen duty. Every Lowe unit arrives pre-set for its intended use and can be adjusted on site.

Rental cost depends on the unit type, hire duration, number of sites and any extras such as branding or SMART monitoring. A single chest freezer for a summer event is priced differently to a branded ice cream fleet across hundreds of stores. Every Lowe quote is fully inclusive: equipment, delivery, installation, maintenance and 24/7 support are built in, with no separate service contract or callout fees. Request a quote for pricing against your sites.

Yes. Lowe stocks soft-scoop ice cream display freezers in 6, 9 and 12-pan configurations, plus glass-top display chest freezers for tubs and impulse merchandising. These suit cafés, dessert specialists, convenience stores and seasonal pitches. View the ice cream scooping freezer range. 

Yes. Lowe’s branded refrigeration service supplies fully wrapped, brand-consistent display freezers to food and beverage brands across the UK and Europe, included in long-term Rental+ agreements. Little Moons deployed 600+ branded units across 600 UK locations following their TikTok launch. 

Lowe prioritises energy-efficient frozen equipment across the range. Glass-lid chests, doored uprights, LED lighting, automatic defrost and natural refrigerants are all standard options. Switching to high-efficiency refrigeration delivered One Beyond a 70%+ reduction in energy use, saving over £320,000 a year across 100+ stores. Every Rental+ contract can include energy benchmarking and SMART monitoring to track performance over the term. 

When a freezer fails, frozen stock is at immediate risk. Lowe operates 24/7 from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham, with replacement units deployable at short notice across the UK. We install on arrival and collect once your own equipment is back in service. 

What is a commercial display freezer?

A commercial display freezer is a frozen-temperature cabinet built to keep stock at −18°C or below while making it visible and easy to select. Common formats include glass-top chest freezers for ice cream and impulse lines, upright glass-door freezers for frozen food retail, open-top island freezers for centre-aisle merchandising, and soft-scoop scooping cabinets for served ice cream.

Our display freezer range

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

Upright glass-door display freezers

Single, double and triple glass-door uprights for frozen food, ready meals and grab-and-go ranges. Full-height frozen-food cabinets give maximum capacity on a small footprint, with glass doors that hold temperature and cut energy use against open formats. View the glass-door upright freezer range, including full-height frozen-food cabinets.

Glass-top chest display freezers

Sliding glass-top chest freezers for ice cream, frozen impulse lines and bagged stock. The glass lid keeps product visible at the point of sale while holding temperature, which suits convenience stores, forecourts and seasonal pitches. View the glass-top chest freezer range. 

Island and jumbo island freezers

Open-top island and jumbo island freezers for centre-aisle frozen promotions in supermarkets and convenience retail. Static and automatic-defrost models are available in widths suited to high-traffic floor positions. View the jumbo island freezer range, with compact island options for smaller floors. 

Ice cream scooping display freezers

Soft-scoop ice cream display freezers in 6, 9 and 12-pan configurations for cafés, dessert counters and seasonal operators. Built to hold product at scooping consistency with strong front-of-counter visibility. View the ice cream scooping range, including Framec Mirabella scooping cabinets. 

Dual-temperature open-top freezers and chillers

Dual-temperature open-top cabinets switch between chilled and frozen duty, so a single unit can flex with stock or season. These suit retailers who need one display to cover frozen promotions and chilled lines at different times. View the dual-temperature open-top range, available in wider formats for larger floors. 

Countertop freezers

Compact countertop freezers for impulse frozen lines, dessert add-ons and small retail counters where floor space is limited. View the countertop freezer range. 

When businesses hire display freezers

Emergency breakdown cover

When a display freezer fails in a live retail or food-service environment, frozen stock is at risk within hours. 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, frozen retail 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 freezers and cold stores that keep stores trading through refit programmes. Project-based rental covers single-store works up to nationwide refit rollouts
