The Arctic Air ARCB48 Refrigerated Chef Base

The Arctic Air ARCB48 50" Refrigerated Chef Base provides dependable cold storage in a heavy-duty design built to support countertop cooking equipment. Ideal for high-volume commercial kitchens, this unit combines rugged stainless steel construction, precise temperature control, and excellent weight-bearing performance.

The ARCB48 features a heavy-duty stainless steel top with a ceramic fabric insulation layer over high-density foam, preventing heat transfer to the refrigerated base. Its marine edge design includes a 1” (2” overall) extension on all sides, creating a stable, flush surface for cooking equipment. Two full-extension telescoping drawers slide smoothly on a Fulterer cartridge system, each accommodating 6” deep full-size or fractional pans for flexible storage.

The side-mounted, self-contained capillary tube refrigeration system uses eco-friendly R290 Hydrocarbon refrigerant and is front-breathing for easy placement against walls. The electronic thermostat with an external digital LED display maintains temperatures between 33°F and 41°F. Additional features include removable magnetic drawer gaskets, reinforced mounting points, and front-accessible components for quick maintenance. Equipped with 5” heavy-duty casters (two locking), the ARCB48 is NSF Standard 7 certified and backed by Arctic Air’s comprehensive warranty coverage.
