Match the fridge to the counter
SKOPE's 84 display fridges do four jobs: tall glass door uprights for drinks, low fridges behind a bar, open decks for grab and go, and compact coolers. Pick the job first, then the size.
ActiveCore and EziCore uprights
The 36 ActiveCore glass door uprights run from the BME300N, a 277 L single door only 590 mm wide, up to 1,399 L three-door cabinets, and every one is listed at 1 °C to 4 °C. Top mount models stand 2,200 mm to 2,210 mm tall, so check the ceiling. Seventeen are lit sign versions with an illuminated header for branding. The four EziCore uprights are a simpler choice in one and two door sizes, 558 L to 1,030 L, holding 0 °C to 5 °C.
BackBar, Ascend and glass chillers for bars
Behind a bar, height and depth matter most. The BackBar family has 27 two, three and four door fridges in three body styles: BackBar at 1,025 mm tall, and CounterLine and SlimLine at 830 mm, with SlimLine the shallowest at 590 mm to 600 mm deep. Each style comes with glass swing, glass sliding or solid swing doors, and capacities run from 290 L to 860 L. Two glass chillers, 152 L and 290 L, keep glassware cold. The Ascend bar coolers add one, two and three door options at 825 mm tall and 103 L to 251 L, and the HB85 is the smallest of all at 83 L.
OpenDeck and SpeedLane for grab and go
The seven OpenDeck models, 273 L to 1,071 L, have no doors at all. The four SpeedLane models are all 900 mm wide and hold 267 L to 299 L behind two or four smaller doors that swing or slide.
What the doors cost to run
The OD300N OpenDeck holds 273 L and is listed at 6.68 kWh a day, while the BME300N glass door upright holds 277 L and is listed at 1.49 kWh. On the BackBar range, sliding glass doors use about twice as much as swing doors on the same body: the four-door BB.4.GSL is listed at 8.17 kWh a day against 4.48 kWh for the BB.4.GSW. Compare the figures before you commit.
Before you order
- The way in. Measure doorways, corridors and any stairs as well as the final spot. A three-door ActiveCore is 1,640 mm to 1,705 mm wide and at least 2,005 mm tall.
- Heat and airflow. Keep it away from coffee machines, ovens and afternoon sun through a west facing shopfront, and leave the clearances SKOPE asks for.
- Food safety. FSANZ requires chilled food at 5 °C or below, and 65 of the 84 models are listed at 1 °C to 4 °C, leaving a margin for busy periods.
Supply, installation and looking after it
Sam quotes the fridge together with delivery and installation anywhere in Perth. On the day he brings it in, sets it level so the doors close and seal properly, checks the clearances and the power, then runs it down and confirms it is holding temperature before he leaves. If an old fridge has to go, ask Sam when you get the quote. If you only need the unit, SKOPE display fridges can also be sent by courier.
A dirty condenser is the usual reason a drinks fridge struggles in a Perth summer. Sam services and repairs SKOPE display fridges for $75 + GST to attend and $180 + GST an hour plus parts, and agrees the repair price with you before he starts.
