The Hydra-Kool KGL-OU-36-S Open Over-Under Combination Merchandiser
The Hydra-Kool KGL-OU-36-S is a 36-inch over-under combination merchandiser that stacks two display zones into a compact footprint. The open lower section holds refrigerated grab-and-go items while the upper section behind rear sliding doors can run refrigerated or switch to ambient mode for dry goods. With 7.73 cubic feet of total capacity across both zones, the KGL-OU-36-S fits neatly into convenience stores, coffee shops, or smaller deli sections where floor space is tight but you need to display both cold and room-temperature products.
Dual-Zone Display: Refrigerated Below, Flexible Above
The lower section is an open-front, front-loading refrigerated display that holds product between 36 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit using forced air refrigeration. It includes one adjustable shelf and a deck, so you can set up two tiers of grab-and-go items like bottled drinks, sandwiches, or salads. The upper section has one shelf and a deck behind rear sliding glass doors, and it can run refrigerated or switch to ambient mode for dry goods. That dual-zone flexibility lets you merchandise baked items, snack bags, or packaged desserts up top while keeping cold items below, all in a single footprint.
Temperature and defrost are regulated by a digital controller, and the self-contained condensing unit slides out for service access. A removable condensate evaporating pan simplifies routine cleaning. The cases use R404a refrigerant and are engineered to operate in environments up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 55 percent relative humidity.
LED Lighting and Wood Laminate Finish
LED strips in the canopy and under all shelves light both the upper and lower display zones, keeping product colors accurate and labels readable without adding significant heat to the cabinet. The exterior features a silver PVC-coated steel front panel with wood laminate covered end panels, giving the case a warmer, more upscale appearance than typical all-metal merchandisers. You can choose between a dark grey or white finish to match your store design.
Height-adjustable shelves can be tilted to angle products toward customers for better visibility. The interior is PVC-coated steel in gray for easy wipe-down cleaning. Standard leveling feet keep the unit stable, with optional adjustable stainless steel legs (5-1/8 to 7-5/8 inches) or casters (adding 4-3/8 inches to height) available for repositioning flexibility.
The KGL-OU-36-S measures 35.86 inches wide by 37-33/64 inches deep by 59-1/4 inches high. The self-contained compressor draws 1/2 HP at 8.9 amps with 16.42 total amps on a 5-20P plug. Net weight is 485 lbs and shipping weight is 617 lbs. The unit ships in a crate measuring 42 by 43 by 71 inches.
