What to check when buying a used refrigerated display counter

A used refrigerated display counter should suit the products you sell and the way staff serve customers. Check its intended application and operating temperature range in the manufacturer’s documentation.

Ask for a demonstration showing that the counter reaches and maintains its specified operating conditions. Inspect the glass, doors, seals, lighting and accessible drainage areas for visible damage or neglect.

Make sure staff can load, clean and serve from the counter comfortably in its planned position. Check ventilation clearances and permitted ambient conditions, particularly near windows or cooking appliances.
