Kool-It KSM-40 48 In. Sliding Glass Door Merchandiser, Self-Contained, Two Door, LOWE Glass, R290 Refrigerant

The Kool-It KSM-40 is a 48-inch two-door sliding glass merchandiser designed specifically for the bottler industry and convenience store environments where a wider footprint accommodates more product facings. With 33.5 cubic feet of net capacity (37.8 gross), it sits between the KSM-36 and KSM-42 in the lineup and features a distinct design with front LOWE-coated double glass doors that improve thermal performance and reduce energy consumption. The dynamic cooling system paired with an Embraco EMX3125U compressor keeps the cabinet between 32 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and the Elitech ECS-180(A) controller gives you precise digital temperature management.

LOWE-Coated Sliding Glass Doors with Dynamic Cooling

Two sliding glass doors with front LOWE-coated double-pane glass improve thermal efficiency by reflecting infrared heat while allowing visible light through. This coating reduces the workload on the compressor and helps keep energy consumption down to 3.96 kWh per day. The doors lock with an included key, and ABS plastic handles provide a comfortable grip for frequent access. Like the other KSM models, the sliding design keeps the front profile flush so you can position units against walls or side by side without clearance concerns.

The dynamic cooling system uses an Embraco EMX3125U compressor delivering 602 watts of cooling power, paired with an aluminum fin evaporator and wired condenser. Auto-defrost runs automatically so you do not have to schedule manual defrost cycles. The Elitech ECS-180(A) controller offers precise digital temperature management with a round light switch for the LED strip lighting. An exhaust pipe heating water tray evaporator handles condensate without requiring a floor drain.

LED Lighting and Durable Painted Steel Construction

LED light strips illuminate the interior evenly, keeping product labels and colors true without adding heat that forces the compressor to work harder. The exterior uses painted steel at 0.45mm thickness in black, while the interior is painted steel at 0.35mm in white for a bright, easy-to-clean surface. The grill and canopy are both 0.8mm painted steel, giving the unit a solid, uniform appearance. Eight adjustable heavy-duty polyethylene-coated wire shelves let you configure tier heights to match your product mix.

Four nylon 2.5-inch casters, two of them locking, make it easy to reposition the unit for cleaning or seasonal layout changes. The CFC-free high-density polyurethane foam insulation maintains cabinet temperature efficiently across the rated ambient range of 64 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which is notably wider than the 75-degree maximum on the other KSM models. That broader ambient rating makes the KSM-40 a practical choice for service stations and locations where air conditioning may not always hold temperatures below 75 degrees.

The KSM-40 measures 47.5 inches wide by 30.7 inches deep by 71.7 inches high. Packing dimensions are 48.8 by 33.4 by 74.1 inches. It draws 380 watts rated power on 110v/60Hz and uses R290 refrigerant with auto-defrost. The compressor delivers 602 watts of cooling power. Net weight is 327 lbs and shipping weight is 373 lbs. A container loading quantity of 23 units fits in a 40-foot HQ container.
