Most commercial storage chillers hold stock at 0°C to 5°C, in line with UK Food Standards Agency guidance for chilled food, which requires cold food to be kept at 8°C or below. Back-of-house storage chillers are typically set around 1°C to 4°C for fresh meat, dairy and prepared ingredients. Dual-temperature cabinets 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 units and any extras such as SMART monitoring. A single reach-in chiller for emergency cover is priced differently to a fleet of bench and upright units across a multi-site catering operation. 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 operates 24/7 from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham, with chillers deployable at short notice for breakdowns, temporary capacity and refurbishment cover. Hire is flexible: take a unit for a few days, a single project, or a multi-year term. We install on arrival and collect at the end of the hire.
A storage chiller is a back-of-house cabinet, usually solid-door, built to hold stock at temperature efficiently and out of sight. A display fridge is a glass-fronted cabinet built to keep chilled stock visible to customers on the shop or service floor. Most operations run both: storage chillers for the kitchen and stores, display fridges for the customer-facing area.
Yes. Lowe stocks bench and undercounter chillers that sit within the prep line, keeping chilled ingredients within arm’s reach of the pass. Two and three-door versions give shelved storage and a prep surface in one footprint. View the bench chiller range.

A commercial storage chiller is a back-of-house refrigerated cabinet built to hold chilled stock at 0°C to 5°C for daily kitchen use, prep and short-term storage. Common formats include upright reach-in chillers for shelved access, bench and undercounter chillers for the prep line, bottle coolers for drinks, and dual-temperature cabinets that switch between chilled and frozen duty.
Lowe’s storage chiller range covers every format used across UK professional kitchens, catering, retail and events. Every unit is available on short-term, project-based or long-term Rental+ hire, and forms part of Lowe’s full commercial refrigeration hire range.
Single and multi-door upright chillers for kitchens that need quick, shelved access to chilled stock through the day. A small floor footprint makes them suited to busy back-of-house lines and stores alike. View the upright storage chiller range, with static reach-in options for tighter spaces.
White-finish storage chillers suit lighter-duty and customer-adjacent spaces such as cafés, healthcare and education catering, where a clean front and a compact footprint matter. View the white storage chiller range.
Undercounter and bench chillers sit within the prep line for ingredients in constant use, combining chilled storage and a work surface in one unit. Two and three-door versions give more shelved capacity for high-throughput kitchens. View the bench chiller range, including three-door bench models.
Sliding-top bottle coolers and back-bar chillers for hospitality, convenience and event bars, keeping drinks at serving temperature within reach of the bar. View the bottle cooler range.
Dual-temperature cabinets switch between chilled and frozen duty, so a single unit can flex with stock and service through the week. For kitchens that need to rebalance chilled and frozen capacity, see the dual-temperature range on our storage freezers page.
When a kitchen or back-of-house chiller fails, fresh stock is at risk within hours. Lowe operates 24/7 from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham, with replacement chillers 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.
When a kitchen or store goes under refurbishment, chilled storage 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 refit refrigeration. Project-based hire covers single-site works up to nationwide rollouts.
For peak trading and prep-ahead production, Lowe supplies additional chilled 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. The rental model lets kitchens and stores add capacity for a season, then scale back down without the capital cost.
Lowe supplies back-of-house chiller capacity for major events and exhibitions. Recent deployments include 2,048 units delivered across 40 trucks for Anuga, and 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.
Hospitality groups and catering operators use Lowe’s long-term Rental+ agreements to run fully managed chilled storage across multiple sites. Karma Kitchens scaled its hospitality operation on Lowe rental for capacity and reliability, with equipment maintained throughout the term rather than owned and depreciated.
