What is a commercial storage freezer?

A commercial storage freezer is a back-of-house cabinet built to hold frozen stock at −18°C or below for bulk storage, batch production and long-term preservation. Common formats include solid-lid chest freezers for high-volume storage, upright reach-in freezers for daily kitchen access, undercounter freezers for prep lines, and blast chillers and freezers for safe, rapid cooling. 

Our storage freezer range

Lowe’s storage freezer range covers every format used across UK professional kitchens, catering, retail and events. Every unit is available on short-termproject-based or long-term Rental+ hire. 

Chest freezers

Solid-lid chest freezers for high-volume, long-term frozen storage. The chest format holds temperature well during access and gives the most usable capacity per footprint, which suits bulk ingredients and back-up stock. View the chest freezer range. 

Stainless-steel catering freezers

Stainless-steel, solid-lid chest and reach-in freezers built for the demands of a professional kitchen, with wipe-clean surfaces suited to food-safety routines. Available in a range of widths for tight prep areas and larger stores alike. View the stainless-steel freezer range. 

Upright reach-in storage freezers

Single, double and triple solid-door upright freezers for kitchens that need quick, shelved access to frozen stock through the day. A small floor footprint makes them suited to busy back-of-house lines. View the upright storage freezer range. 

Blast chillers and blast freezers

Blast chillers and blast freezers pull cooked food through the critical temperature zone quickly, protecting texture and supporting HACCP, cook-chill and cook-freeze workflows. Dual-temperature blast units switch between chilling and freezing duty. View the blast freezer range, with blast chiller options for cook-chill kitchens. 

Dual-temperature fridge-freezers

Dual-temperature cabinets switch between chilled and frozen duty, so a single unit can flex with stock and service. These suit kitchens and stores that need to rebalance chilled and frozen capacity through the week. View the dual-temperature range. 

Undercounter and bench freezers

Undercounter and bench freezers sit within the prep line for ingredients in constant use, keeping frozen stock within arm’s reach of the pass. View the bench freezer range. 

When businesses hire storage freezers

Emergency breakdown cover

When a kitchen or back-of-house freezer fails, frozen stock is at risk within hours. Lowe operates 24/7 from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham, with replacement freezers 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. 

What’s included in every storage freezer rental

Lowe’s rental model is fully inclusive. Every storage freezer hire comes with: 

  • Nationwide UK delivery and installation from depots in Lisburn, Marchington and Cheltenham 
  • 24/7 technical support and reactive callout cover 
  • Planned preventative maintenance throughout the rental 
  • Asset replacement and upgrade flexibility as your operation changes 
  • Energy-efficient and natural-refrigerant options. See why operators are rethinking refrigeration ownership. 
  • Optional SMART monitoring for continuous temperature logging and food-safety records 

How storage freezer hire works

  1. You brief us on your sites, configurations, timeline and any compliance requirements. 
  2. We quote a fully inclusive rental covering equipment, delivery, installation and service. 
  3. We deliver, install and commission across the UK from our depots. 
  4. We maintain the units throughout the term, with 24/7 reactive cover, then collect at end of hire.
