The PS300G includes a glass lid with reinforced hinges for enhanced visibility, ideal for open-service or quick-access prep areas. The PS300, with its stainless steel lid, is better suited for heavy-duty kitchen operations where durability and insulation are the priority.

Are the prep counters suitable for high ambient temperatures?

Yes. Artikcold prep counters are designed to perform efficiently in ambient conditions up to 25°C and 65% relative humidity — ideal for commercial kitchen environments across the UK.

Can I move the counter easily for cleaning or repositioning?

Absolutely. Each unit is fitted with durable castors that allow smooth mobility. They also include locking mechanisms to secure the counter in place during operation.
