Expo Hire supplies commercial fridges for events. Choose bar, counter, or upright fridges to chill food and drinks, keeping stock safe and accessible...
Temporary bar operation, catering station management, or exhibition stand organisation demands chilled food and drinks. Commercial fridges hired from Expo Hire keep perishable items safe and ready for consumption. Guests expect cold drinks, and health regulations demand proper food storage temperatures. Our fridges provide the robust, reliable cooling needed at any event, from private parties to large festivals.
You can hire several types of fridges. Our double door bar fridges fit beneath most standard bar counters, measuring 900mm wide and 900mm high. These units chill bottled drinks and cans fast. A typical double door model holds approximately 150 standard 330ml cans or 75 bottles, making stock accessible to staff. For smaller spaces, or specific drink offerings, we also supply single door bar fridges. They provide efficient cooling in a narrower footprint, about 600mm wide.
For catering kitchens or food preparation areas, counter fridges offer a cold storage solution with an integrated work surface. These units keep ingredients chilled at the point of food preparation, reducing wasted movement. You can place chopping boards on top for convenient use.
Upright fridges provide substantial storage volume for kitchens and back-of-house areas. Solid door upright fridges store large quantities of ingredients or packaged food. You can hire glass door upright display fridges. These units provide attractive displays for drinks, snacks, or pre-packaged meals.
For fridge selection, consider the volume of items needing refrigeration, the available space, and how staff or guests access contents. Bar fridges excel at quick access for drinks service. Counter fridges combine storage and worktop space. Upright fridges offer high capacity for kitchens or visual merchandising. All Expo Hire fridges require a standard 13A power socket. Ensure you have adequate power supply at your event site. Proper ventilation is key for performance. Allow at least 100mm clearance around the back and sides of any unit.
Place your hired fridge on a level, stable surface to ensure performance throughout your event. Avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources like ovens or grills. Good air circulation around the fridge coils prevents overheating and maintains efficiency. Do not block the vents. Load items cold where possible, and avoid overfilling the unit, as this restricts air flow and reduces chilling effectiveness. Expo Hire cleans all fridges, making them ready for immediate use. Clean any spills soon to keep the unit hygienic during your hire period.
Expo Hire does not charge a security deposit. A free minor damage waiver covers minor damage and loss. Excessive or negligent damage is charged at 10 times the hire price. Full details in our terms and conditions.
