How to choose a three-door upright cabinet for a supermarket?

A three-door upright cabinet for a supermarket is a device used for refrigerated storage of beverages, cola, etc. The temperature range of 2 – 8°C brings a great taste. When choosing, some skills need to be mastered, mainly focusing on aspects such as details, price, and market trends.

Many large supermarkets have specially customized three-door upright cabinets, which need to meet three aspects. First, the price should not be too high, and specific judgments can be made based on the results of market research. Second, pay attention to the market eliminate rate. Many devices remain in an old technological form without innovation and upgrading, and such refrigeration cabinets do not conform to the mainstream trend. Third, the detailed craftsmanship is not in place, and the craftsmanship level does not meet the standards. Specific analysis and selection can be made according to the following points:

1.Refrigeration performance

First, look at the compressor power and refrigeration method (direct cooling / air cooling). Air cooling is frost-free and has uniform refrigeration, which is suitable for displaying fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products; direct cooling has a low cost and is suitable for frozen products, but it needs to be defrosted regularly.

2.Capacity and layout

Select the volume according to the supermarket category plan (usually 500 – 1000L), and see if the internal shelves can be adjusted to flexibly adapt to different packaging specifications (such as bottled beverages, boxed foods).

3.Energy consumption and energy saving

Identify the energy efficiency level (level 1 is the best). Energy-saving designs (such as double-layer insulating glass doors, door heating to prevent condensation) can reduce long-term operating costs.

4.Display effect

The transparency of the glass door and the lighting (LED cold light source is better, which does not affect refrigeration and is high-brightness) will affect the attractiveness of products. Whether the door has a lock (to prevent theft at night) also needs to be considered.

5.Durability and after-sales

Choose corrosion-resistant steel for the outer shell, and the vulnerable parts such as hinges and slides need to be strong; give priority to brands with local after-sales service outlets to avoid delays in maintenance affecting operations.

In addition, it is also necessary to combine the size of the supermarket space to ensure that the placement of the upright cabinet does not affect the traffic flow, and at the same time take into account the power load (high-power models require an independent circuit).

Summary of common questions

How to judge whether the equipment is old and outdated?

You can judge from specific functions. For example, functions such as automatic defrosting and sterilization are new technologies. Check whether the brand and model of the compressor are the latest products, and whether the production date and batch are the latest. All these can help judge whether it is old.

Which brand of three-door beverage upright cabinet is good?

There is no best brand. In fact, it needs to be based on local service conditions. For example, it is better if there are chain stores locally. Otherwise, you can choose imported ones. Imports are all subject to strict quality certifications, and the craftsmanship level is guaranteed. The price is much lower than that of large-brand upright cabinets.

What should I do if the imported upright cabinet breaks down?

This needs to be divided into several situations. If it is within the warranty period, you can directly contact the supplier to handle it. If it is not within the warranty period, you can contact a local professional maintenance agency to come and repair it. For simple damages such as light strips and cabinet door glass, you can buy new ones and replace them yourself.

How to customize an imported commercial upright cabinet?

You need to choose a suitable supplier. After confirming the specific customization details, price, etc., sign a contract and pay a certain commission. Inspect the goods within the specified delivery period. After the inspection is up to standard, pay the final balance. The price ranges from 100,000 to 1 million US dollars. The customization time is generally about 3 months. If the quantity is large, the time may be longer. You can contact the supplier for specific confirmation.

In 2025, the import and export tariffs of different countries have an impact, and the prices are different. The actual after-tax price needs to be understood according to local regulations. Pay attention to the details when choosing imported and exported upright cabinets.
