178SS1F2HC Built to Last

Built to Last

Designed with a 430 stainless steel door and exterior sides, this unit can keep up in busy, heavy-use kitchens. Plus, the interior is 304 stainless steel, giving the unit superior corrosion resistance and cleanability. Thanks to a perforated back panel, this unit promotes more even airflow throughout the cabinet to keep your cold foods at a consistent temperature.

Easy Operation

Making the freezer easy to monitor and operate, an automatic defrost feature and a digital temperature control with digital display are integrated for intuitive use. This unit also boasts interior LED lighting that automatically turns on and off when you open and close the door, helping to improve visibility and streamline your work flow.

Energy-Efficient Refrigeration

Programmed to maintain temperatures from -8 to -1 degrees Fahrenheit, this freezer ensures that all food products are held in a proper, food safe environment to preserve their quality and integrity. To help achieve this, the robust, bottom-mounted 2/3 hp compressor uses R290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business.

Bottom-Mounted Compressor

In addition, the bottom-mounted design makes it easy for employees to load and unload products due to the raised bottom shelf.

Casters for Mobility

A set of casters provides the unit with convenient mobility, making cleaning and servicing a breeze! Just roll the unit away from the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Can I use this reach-in refrigerator to cool hot food?
No, reach-in refrigerators are intended for keeping cold food chilled, not chilling hot food. If you are looking for a unit to quickly chill hot food, check out our Avantco Refrigeration blast chillers.
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
To promote proper air flow through your Avantco unit, please ensure that the wire ledges on the shelves are positioned toward the back of the unit. These ledges help keep enough space between your product and the back wall so that cold air can adequately circulate through the cabinet. Incorrectly installing the shelf ledges can restrict airflow, causing the temperature in the bottom of your unit to rise.
If your unit has pre-installed casters, it may be secured directly to the pallet for safe transport. To remove it safely, tilt the unit slightly to one side and use a wrench or socket set to loosen the bolts attaching it to the pallet. In some cases, you may need to pry up a pallet plank with a hammer to access the bolts or to release casters nested within the pallet base. If you are unsure or need assistance, we recommend contacting a local moving or equipment installation service for help.
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
The units come with casters preassembled underneath the pallet.
It is important to install this unit in a location that is not in direct sunlight. This unit is intended for indoor use in temperature-controlled environments with ambient temperatures below 75 degrees and 60% relative humidity.
Due to the height of this item, it may not be able to fit through a standard 80" tall doorway when standing upright. Please consider the best means of entry before purchasing, or measure your entryway to ensure that you will be able to bring your order inside if the item cannot be carried on its side.

Defective freezer that after one year is causing lots of issues keeping temperatures low. 3 warranty claims and nothing has been fixed after months. Recommend not buying.

So far this freezer has been a beast. Great price for what you get. Hold temp very good so far. It was very sturdy except in the back behind the unit where the motor is. Seems sorta tinny but it doesn’t matter since it’s up against the wall.
