Reliable refrigerated storage is essential in every commercial kitchen. Ingredients must be kept at safe, consistent temperatures, stock needs to be organised effectively and the equipment must continue performing during busy services and in demanding kitchen conditions.
The SKOPE ReFlex solid-door upright refrigeration range provides a choice of one- and two-door commercial upright fridges, with matching freezer versions available for frozen storage.
Available from Hubbard Systems, the range combines durable stainless steel construction, generous internal capacity, high-ambient performance and service-friendly refrigeration technology.
Commercial upright refrigeration for demanding foodservice environments
Upright refrigeration is a practical choice for kitchens that need to maximise storage capacity without using an excessive amount of floor space.
A tall cabinet can hold a considerable quantity of ingredients, prepared food and bulk stock while keeping everything organised across adjustable shelves. This makes upright refrigeration suitable for restaurants, hotels, pubs, healthcare facilities, education sites, contract caterers and other professional foodservice operations.
The SKOPE ReFlex upright range includes compact single-door cabinets and larger two-door models, allowing operators, dealers and kitchen designers to match the available capacity to the requirements of each site.
SKOPE ReFlex One-Door Upright Fridge
The SKOPE ReFlex RF7.UPR.1.SD is a compact commercial upright fridge designed for kitchens requiring dependable chilled storage within a relatively narrow footprint.
Measuring 680mm wide, the cabinet provides 363 litres of net refrigerated storage. Its operating temperature range of +1°C to +4°C makes it suitable for storing ingredients, prepared foods, dairy products and other chilled stock used in professional foodservice environments.
The cabinet is fitted with five adjustable shelves, allowing the internal layout to be adapted to different containers, ingredients and storage requirements. A self-closing, lockable solid door helps protect the contents, while door-activated LED lighting improves visibility when accessing stock.
The door is also reversible and supplied right-hand hinged, providing additional flexibility when positioning the fridge within an existing kitchen layout.
The one-door upright fridge is particularly suitable for:
• Independent restaurants, cafés and pubs
• Smaller hotel kitchens
• Individual food preparation areas
• Satellite and service kitchens
• Healthcare and education catering
• Sites requiring additional chilled capacity
Its compact footprint makes it a practical alternative where there is insufficient room for a wider two-door refrigerator.
SKOPE ReFlex Two-Door Upright Fridge
For operations requiring more substantial refrigerated storage, the SKOPE ReFlex RF7.UPR.2.SD provides 712 litres of net capacity across a 1220mm-wide cabinet.
The two-door layout gives kitchen teams easy access to a larger quantity of stock while supporting better product organisation. Ten adjustable shelves allow ingredients and prepared foods to be separated across different sections of the cabinet.
Two self-closing, lockable solid doors help maintain secure storage, while the wide door openings and internal LED lighting make stock easier to identify and retrieve during busy periods.
This model is well suited to:
• Busy restaurants and hotels
• Large pub and hospitality kitchens
• Healthcare and education catering
• Contract catering operations
• Production kitchens
• High-volume foodservice sites
• Multi-user preparation areas
The two-door upright fridge maintains a standard operating temperature of +1°C to +4°C and can operate in ambient temperatures of up to 40°C, making it appropriate for demanding professional kitchens.
Matching commercial upright freezers
The SKOPE ReFlex range also includes matching one- and two-door commercial upright freezers.
These cabinets use the same general dimensions and storage capacities as their chilled equivalents, allowing dealers and kitchen designers to specify a coordinated refrigeration package across both chilled and frozen storage.
The one-door RF7.UPF.1.SD provides 363 litres of net capacity within a 680mm-wide cabinet. The two-door RF7.UPF.2.SD offers 712 litres within a 1220mm-wide cabinet.
Both freezers maintain a standard operating temperature between -21°C and -18°C. Their settings can also be adjusted through SKOPE Connect within the permitted operating range for each cabinet.
Using matching fridge and freezer cabinets can help create a more consistent kitchen specification while allowing chilled and frozen ingredients to be organised separately.
304 stainless steel construction inside and out
Commercial refrigeration must withstand frequent opening, regular cleaning and the daily demands of a professional kitchen.
The SKOPE ReFlex upright fridges and freezers are constructed with 304 AISI stainless steel interiors and exteriors. This creates a strong, hygienic and professional finish suited to demanding foodservice environments.
A coved internal floor reduces difficult corners and helps make routine cleaning more straightforward. Self-closing, lockable solid doors also provide secure storage while helping to reduce the risk of doors being left open during service.
Designed to perform in temperatures up to 40°C
Commercial kitchens can become extremely hot, particularly around cooking lines, ovens, grills and other heat-producing equipment.
The SKOPE ReFlex upright fridge and freezer models are rated to operate in ambient temperatures of up to 40°C.
This high-ambient capability provides added reassurance in busy professional kitchens, where refrigeration must continue maintaining safe storage temperatures during demanding service periods and warmer weather.
Removable refrigeration cartridges for easier servicing
Maintaining uptime is an important consideration when specifying commercial refrigeration. A cabinet that is difficult to access or service can cause unnecessary disruption to the operator.
The SKOPE ReFlex upright cabinets incorporate a top-mounted removable refrigeration cartridge. This modular design gives service engineers easier access to the refrigeration system and allows maintenance to be completed without removing the entire cabinet from its installed position.
Potential benefits include faster access for servicing, less disruption around the kitchen and reduced equipment downtime.
The refrigeration cartridge system is particularly valuable for dealers, service providers and multi-site operators looking for equipment that can be maintained efficiently throughout its working life.
SKOPE Connect as standard
SKOPE Connect gives operators access to useful refrigeration information through a Bluetooth connection and the SKOPE Connect app.
Kitchen managers can view cabinet temperatures, adjust permitted settings and access operational information from a compatible device.
This additional visibility can support more consistent refrigeration management, particularly across operations using multiple cabinets or several foodservice locations.
Including SKOPE Connect as standard also gives dealers a connected refrigeration solution that can support temperature management, operational oversight and food safety procedures.
Flexible internal storage
Adjustable shelving allows each cabinet to be configured around the products being stored.
The one-door upright models include five adjustable shelves, while the two-door models provide ten. This helps operators separate ingredients, organise stock categories and make effective use of the available cabinet height.
Door-activated LED lighting provides clear visibility inside the cabinet, while self-closing doors help reduce unnecessary temperature loss during busy service periods.
Straightforward commercial kitchen installation
The SKOPE ReFlex upright cabinets are supplied on removable castors, helping with positioning, installation and access for cleaning.
The models require 300mm of ventilation clearance above the cabinet, but no clearance is required at the sides, rear or underneath. This can make them easier to incorporate into commercial kitchen layouts where surrounding space is restricted.
The range uses a standard single-phase electrical supply, requires no plumbing connection and is supplied with a fitted plug and lead.
R290 natural refrigerant
The SKOPE ReFlex upright fridges and freezers use R290 natural refrigerant.
R290 is widely used in modern commercial refrigeration and has a considerably lower global warming potential than many traditional refrigerants.
For businesses reviewing their environmental objectives and long-term equipment specifications, refrigerant choice is becoming an increasingly important consideration.
Three-year parts and labour warranty
Commercial refrigeration is critical to the operation of a professional kitchen. Unexpected equipment problems can place stock at risk, interrupt service and create additional costs.
The SKOPE ReFlex range is supported by a comprehensive three-year parts and labour warranty, providing added confidence for dealers, kitchen designers and end users.
Combined with the removable refrigeration cartridge and the support available from Hubbard Systems, this gives operators reassurance throughout the early years of ownership.
Which SKOPE ReFlex upright cabinet is right for your kitchen?
The right choice will depend on the available floor space, required storage capacity and volume of stock moving through the kitchen.
The one-door upright fridge or freezer is suited to smaller kitchens, individual preparation areas and operations requiring additional storage within a compact 680mm-wide footprint.
The two-door upright fridge or freezer provides almost twice the net capacity and is better suited to larger or higher-volume foodservice environments.
Some projects may require a matching fridge and freezer, while others may combine an upright cabinet with SKOPE ReFlex undercounter refrigeration to place additional chilled or frozen storage closer to preparation areas.
Dealers and kitchen designers should consider workflow, door access, ventilation clearance and the types of products being stored before selecting a model.
