About this product

Polar FT281-A 2 Door Saladette Counter

The Polar FT281-A is a two door saladette counter from the Polar U-Series commercial refrigeration range, purpose-built for high-volume prep environments such as cafes, restaurants, sandwich bars and pizzerias. Constructed from easy-clean stainless steel throughout, it combines a gastronorm-compatible top rail with a refrigerated double door base to keep your most-used ingredients perfectly chilled, organised and within arm's reach during busy service.

Powered by a fan-assisted cooling system with automatic defrost, the FT281-A maintains consistent temperatures even under demanding conditions, helping to reduce food waste and preserve ingredient quality. Practical features including 50mm insulation, digital temperature controls, a removable PE chopping board, adjustable interior shelving and castor-mounted mobility make this counter a genuinely versatile and efficient addition to any commercial kitchen. Note: GN containers are sold separately.

Key Benefits

  • Fan-assisted forced air cooling maintains even temperatures throughout the cabinet during peak service periods, protecting ingredient quality and reducing food waste.
  • Automatic defrost function maximises cooling efficiency and minimises the need for manual maintenance intervention.
  • 50mm insulation throughout the cabinet walls reduces heat transfer, lowering energy consumption and ongoing running costs.
  • Digital temperature controls with a clear display allow accurate, easy monitoring and adjustment at a glance.
  • Gastronorm-compatible top section keeps toppings and prepped ingredients immediately accessible, speeding up assembly for salads, pizzas and sandwiches.
  • Removable PE chopping board means prep and service can happen at the same station without relocating ingredients or equipment.
  • Castors allow the unit to be repositioned easily for thorough cleaning underneath and around the counter, supporting kitchen hygiene standards.
  • One adjustable shelf per door provides flexible internal storage that can be configured to suit containers of varying heights.
  • All-stainless steel construction is durable, hygienic and quick to wipe down, keeping cleaning time to a minimum during and after service.
