Collection: Ice Cream Display Cabinets

Ice cream display cabinets are commercial freezers designed to showcase and serve product directly from the unit. UK-typical specs include space for standard 5L Napoli pans, ventilated refrigeration for even temperatures, LED lighting, anti-condensation or heated glass, and natural refrigerants such as R290. Professional models commonly run in the -14°C to -20°C band for scoop service, with gelato often held slightly warmer for ideal texture.

What Are Ice Cream Display Cabinets?

These units combine stable serving temperatures with clear visibility to increase sales and speed service. Look for digital controls, night blinds, rear curtains, lift-up/hydraulic glass for cleaning, and easy-access condensers. Ventilated systems deliver uniform hardness across flavours and faster recovery after restocking or door openings.

Types of Ice Cream Display Counters

Telescopic Glass Ice Cream Cabinets

Hydraulic or telescopic lift-front designs provide wide access for cleaning and restocking, making daily hygiene faster and inspections easier while minimising downtime in busy shops. Explore our full range of telescopic glass ice cream display cabinets featuring heated or anti-mist glass to keep displays crystal clear

Gelato Display Counters

Built for clear keep gelato display cabinets for glossy and scoopable with optimised airflow and glass geometry. Popular formats in the UK range from 10–24 pans with curved glass, ventilated cooling, and, in premium lines, night mode or dual-temperature sections. These counters prioritise product presentation without sacrificing stability

Ventilated Scoop Service Cabinets

Ventilated scoop service ice cream cabinets  use fan-assisted airflow to maintain even temperatures across all pans, reducing variability between flavours and improving service consistency. Premium models may use dual evaporators or adjustable airflow to fine-tune the air curtain and help preserve surface quality during long trading hours.

Choosing the Right Display for Your Business

Start with capacity and footprint: a 10–12 pan ventilated, curved-glass cabinet fits many independents serving a few hundred portions daily and supports a broad flavour range. Confirm door widths and site clearances; slim-depth versions are available for narrow premises. Prioritise ventilated refrigeration for consistency; static can suit smaller menus but is less uniform. Curved glass maximises sightlines; flat glass offers a modern profile. Choose units with digital controls, reliable defrost, night blinds, and heated front glass to avoid misting in humid or sunlit shopfronts. Energy-efficient compressors, LED lighting, and R290 refrigerant reduce running costs. Ensure UK warranty coverage and nationwide service support.

Popular Ice Cream Display Cabinets Available

Compact 6–8 pan displays work for kiosks and small cafés and are often plug-and-play on a 13A socket. The mainstream gelateria choice is a 10–12 pan ventilated curved-glass unit that balances visibility and capacity. Larger sites adopt 16–24 pan professional displays, typically double-row with heated glass, lift-up canopies, and advanced airflow. Choose plug-in for fast deployment; consider remote systems to move heat and noise out of front-of-house in larger or premium fit-outs.

Compare by pan count, dimensions, cooling type (ventilated vs static), glass style (curved vs flat), daily energy use, refrigerant, and warranty. Check lead times around seasonal demand, confirm access (stairs and tight doorways), and arrange installation or old-unit disposal if required. Don’t forget Napoli pans, flavour tags, scoop holders, night covers, and back-of-house storage for quick pan swaps.
