Hallco HC1BK Undercounter Bottle Cooler 128 Ltr Black

The Hallco HC1BK is a single-door undercounter bottle cooler designed for commercial bars, restaurants, cafés, and hotels that need reliable chilled beverage storage within a compact footprint. It holds up to 96 bottles within a 128-litre interior, fitting neatly beneath a standard counter to keep drinks accessible throughout service without consuming valuable floor or back-bar space.

In a busy service environment, consistent temperature is what matters most. The HC1BK uses a fan-assisted cooling system to maintain an even chill across the cabinet, which helps avoid the warm spots that can affect drinks stored in passively cooled units. The toughened glass door allows staff to locate bottles quickly without opening the unit unnecessarily, supporting temperature stability during peak periods. The self-closing door mechanism helps maintain performance during high-traffic service.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the HC1BK offers several practical advantages:

• Digital temperature control gives operators straightforward adjustment without specialist knowledge
• Two adjustable shelves accommodate different bottle heights and product mixes
• Integrated door lock provides basic security in open or shared service areas
• LED internal lighting improves visibility and reduces energy draw compared to fluorescent alternatives
• Low-noise fan operation makes it suitable for front-of-house and customer-facing environments

The unit is designed to fit under a standard-height counter, but it is worth confirming your available depth and width before ordering, particularly in older bar builds where under-counter spaces can vary. The R600a refrigerant is in line with current environmental requirements. It is rated for ambient environments up to 32°C, which suits most UK commercial settings, though operators in particularly warm or poorly ventilated areas should consider airflow around the unit.

The HC1BK is well suited to smaller bars, café counters, hotel room service preparation areas, and similar settings where a moderate bottle volume needs to be kept chilled with minimal fuss. It is a single-zone unit operating within a standard chilled range, so it is not intended for dual-temperature wine storage or high-volume back-bar operations where a larger or multi-door unit would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service volume, or whether an alternative unit would be a better fit for your setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
