A1 Custom Stainless & Kitchens supplies and installs commercial refrigeration equipment across Brisbane and South East Queensland. From custom-fabricated display cabinets for butcher shops and seafood retailers to underbench commercial fridges, commercial upright refrigerators, and prep units for restaurant and cafe kitchens, we handle refrigeration as part of a complete stainless steel kitchen fitout or as a standalone supply and installation.
Our Brisbane-based team has been completing commercial kitchen installations for over 12 years. We have fitted commercial refrigeration into restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs, aged care facilities, food trucks, and butcher shops throughout Queensland. Because we fabricate the benchtops, sinks, and canopies ourselves, refrigeration is integrated into your kitchen as a single cohesive build, not bolted in as an afterthought by a separate contractor.
Commercial Refrigeration Equipment We Supply and Install
Commercial Upright Refrigerators and Freezers Brisbane
Single and double-door commercial upright refrigerators and freezers for restaurants, clubs, hotels, and food service operations. The units we supply run fan-forced circulation, digital temperature control, and stainless steel interiors built for continuous commercial use. We size and position upright commercial fridges within your kitchen plan so cold storage makes operational sense for your team, not just for the spec sheet.
Queensland Food Standards require commercial kitchens to maintain cold holding at or below 5°C. Every commercial refrigerator we supply is configured to hold compliant temperatures under real service load, not just in a test environment. This matters when your kitchen is running at full capacity on a Friday night and your Queensland Health inspector arrives on a Monday morning.
Underbench and Undercounter Commercial Fridges Brisbane
Underbench commercial fridges are one of the most practical cold storage solutions in a working commercial kitchen. They sit flush beneath your stainless steel benchtops, keeping refrigeration at the point of preparation rather than across the room. We commonly install underbench units beneath prep stations, bar service areas, and pastry sections, where reach-in distance directly affects service speed and food safety compliance.
Because we fabricate the benchtops ourselves, underbench commercial fridges are built into your kitchen from the start. Bench height, overhangs, and clearances are accounted for in the fabrication drawings, not improvised on installation day. This is the practical difference between a refrigeration-only supplier and a full kitchen fabricator.
Commercial Display Fridges and Refrigerated Cabinets Brisbane
We design and fabricate custom commercial display fridges and refrigerated cabinets for butcher shops, seafood retailers, delis, and hospitality fitouts across Brisbane. These are not off-the-shelf units ordered from a catalogue. Every commercial display fridge we build is fabricated to your counter length, your preferred glass configuration, and your product depth requirements.
A butcher shop counter at 3.6m with a curved front and a separate bone section requires a different approach to a straight deli display at 2.4m. We have built both, and the full range in between. Display types we fabricate and supply include:
- Butcher shop display cabinets and counters
- Custom butcher display cases and refrigerated counters
- Refrigerated glass display cabinets
- Countertop refrigerated display cases
- Custom seafood display cabinets and tanks
- Deli and smallgoods display counters
- Grab-and-go upright display fridges
- Custom made commercial refrigerators to your specifications
Prep Fridges and Refrigerated Work Stations
Prep fridges keep ingredients cold at the point of use. A refrigerated work station combines a refrigerated base with a stainless steel top and ingredient wells, keeping everything within arm’s reach of your chefs during service. For high-volume kitchens running continuous service, correctly positioned prep refrigeration reduces movement, reduces cross-contamination risk, and keeps food at safe holding temperatures throughout the shift.
We supply prep fridges and integrate custom stainless steel top sections to match the rest of your benchtop build, so the prep station looks and functions as part of a complete kitchen rather than a separate appliance sitting in a gap.
Coolrooms and Walk-In Refrigeration
For bulk cold storage, we coordinate coolroom and walk-in freezer installation as part of a full commercial kitchen fitout. We work with certified refrigeration mechanics to design and install walk-in coolrooms that meet the airflow, drainage, and insulation requirements for Queensland commercial food operations. If your project requires a coolroom as part of a broader stainless steel kitchen build, we manage it as a single scope of work.
Commercial Refrigeration and HACCP Compliance in Queensland
Food businesses in Queensland operating under the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Code are required to demonstrate temperature control from receipt through to service. Commercial refrigeration is not just a convenience, it is a compliance requirement. Fail a Queensland Health inspection on temperature control and the consequences range from improvement notices through to temporary closure.
When we specify and install commercial refrigeration equipment, we account for:
- Cold holding temperatures at or below 5°C for potentially hazardous foods
- Separation of raw and ready-to-eat products where multiple units are involved in the same workspace
- Airflow and clearance requirements that affect unit performance under load
- Drainage and cleaning access for health inspection purposes
- Positioning that supports a logical, contamination-minimising workflow
We are not refrigeration mechanics. Gas work and electrical certification are handled by licensed trades we coordinate. What we provide is commercial refrigeration that is correctly specified, correctly positioned, and correctly integrated into a kitchen designed to pass a health inspection from the first day of operation.
Why Brisbane Commercial Kitchens Choose A1 Custom Stainless for Refrigeration
Most commercial refrigeration suppliers sell units and arrange delivery. We do more than that, because refrigeration is one part of a broader kitchen system we build and install in-house.
The most common problem operators face when refrigeration and fabrication are handled by separate businesses: a commercial fridge Brisbane-based operators order independently arrives and does not fit flush, the bench has to be modified on site, the run is broken, clearances are wrong. This happens because neither supplier knew what the other was building.
At A1 Custom Stainless, one team handles your stainless steel benchtops, sinks, exhaust canopies, and commercial refrigeration from the first site measure to the completed installation. Everything is fabricated in our own workshop in Burpengary East. There is one business, one project manager, and one standard of quality throughout.
We have completed commercial kitchen fitouts for restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs, hotels, aged care facilities, food trucks, and butcher shops across Brisbane and Queensland. Our QBCC-licensed tradespeople have over 12 years of experience in stainless steel fabrication and commercial kitchen installation.
