Westlake WKR-82B 82 In. Solid Door Reach-In Refrigerator, 72 Cu. Ft., 3 Doors, Stainless Steel

SKUWKR-82B BrandWestlake

The Westlake WKR-82B Reach-In Refrigerator

The Westlake WKR-82B is a three-section, bottom mounted reach-in refrigerator with three solid doors, a 81.5 in. wide cabinet in stainless steel inside and out. Its ventilated refrigeration system holds the cabinet at 33 °F to 40 °F, so dairy, prepped produce, and thawing proteins sit in the safe zone from the morning delivery through the dinner rush. The system is rated for kitchens up to 100 °F ambient, which covers a hot line in August. Three sections and 9 shelves make it the main refrigerator for a busy kitchen with no walk-in. It needs 81.5 in. of wall, so it is not a fit for a tight galley line. It arrives on preinstalled casters with brakes, plugs into a 115 V outlet through an 80 in. cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug, draws 3 A, and needs about 56.3 in. front to back with a door swung open.

Precision Ventilated Refrigeration with Electronic Control

A 1/3 HP compressor drives a precision ventilated system that moves cold air through the whole cabinet instead of letting it pool at the bottom. A still-air cabinet runs warm on the top shelf and cold on the floor; a ventilated one keeps the cream on top and the case of romaine below at the same reading. The cabinet holds 33 °F to 40 °F.

The electronic control lets you change the temperature set point and the defrost frequency from the controller. Out of the box the unit defrosts automatically every 4 hours, so the coil stays clear and your staff never has to shut the unit down to melt ice off it.

Epoxy Coated Wire Shelves Rated at 155 lb Each

You get 9 epoxy coated steel wire shelves, 3 per section, and each one carries 155 lb. That is enough for full cases of product, stacked hotel pans, or a row of filled food storage containers without the shelf bowing. The epoxy coating is the difference between a shelf that wipes clean and bare steel wire that rusts after a few months of condensation and spilled brine.

Interior space measures 77.6 in. wide, 24.2 in. deep, and 59.7 in. high. Open wire also lets the moving air pass between levels, so a loaded shelf does not block the product under it.

Stainless Steel Interior and Exterior

The cabinet is stainless steel on the outside and on the inside. On the outside that means a surface that shrugs off cart bumps and degreaser. On the inside it means a liner you can wipe down after a leaking case of chicken without worrying about stains or cracked plastic. At 444 lb net, the cabinet has real mass and stays put once the caster brakes are set.

Self-Closing Solid Doors with Locks and LED Lighting

Each solid door closes itself behind you, so a cook carrying two pans does not have to kick it shut and it never hangs open through a rush. Push it to 90 degrees and it stays open, which is what you want when you are loading a delivery or pulling shelves to clean.

Full vertical LED lighting switches on when a door opens and off when it closes, lighting each shelf from the side so labels read clearly at the back. Locks and keys are included, so high-value product stays secured after close.

Bottom Mounted R290 System with Coated Copper Evaporator

The refrigeration system sits at the bottom of the cabinet, which keeps the compressor at floor level where a technician can reach it without a ladder. A removable installation board gives access to the condenser coil for cleaning and service; a coil that gets brushed off on schedule runs cooler and pulls less power than one packed with grease and flour dust.

The evaporator is an anti-corrosion coated copper coil. The coating shields the evaporator from the acids that tomatoes, citrus, and vinegar-based product give off, which corrode bare copper over time. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon with an ozone depletion potential of 0 and a global warming potential of 3.

Casters, Cord, and Placement

Heavy duty casters with brakes come preinstalled, so two people can roll the unit into position, lock it, and roll it back out when it is time to mop behind it. The cabinet measures 81.5 in. wide, 30.7 in. deep, and 81.9 in. high, with 56.3 in. of depth needed when a door is open. It runs on 115 V, single phase, at 3 A, and the 80 in. cord ends in a NEMA 5-15P plug.

    About Reach-In Refrigerators

    Commercial reach-in refrigerators are essential in any professional kitchen. They keep ingredients cold, organized, and easy to grab during service. If you run a restaurant, hotel, catering business, or food truck, this is one of the first pieces of equipment you need. Look for units built for daily use, with strong compressors, solid door gaskets, and interiors that make the most of your storage space.

    Reach-in refrigerators come in one, two, or three door models. Single door units fit small kitchens or work as station coolers. Two door models cover most mid-size restaurants. Three door units are best for high-volume kitchens that need to store a lot of product and keep it easy to access during service.

    Glass door models let staff see what's inside without opening the door. This keeps temperatures steady and speeds up service. Pass-thru and roll-in models are good if your workflow needs something specific. Choose a unit based on how much you need to store, your available space, and the features that fit your daily routine.

     

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Single Door Reach-In Refrigerator: A compact option for smaller kitchens or dedicated prep stations. Typically holds 20 to 27 cubic feet of product and fits in tight spaces without sacrificing reliable cold holding performance.
    • 2 Door Reach-In Commercial Refrigerator: The most common configuration in full-service restaurant kitchens. Offers a balance of storage capacity and footprint, with most units ranging from 46 to 54 cubic feet.
    • 3 Door Reach-In Commercial Refrigerator: Built for high-volume operations that need maximum cold storage on the line. Ideal for large restaurant kitchens, hotels, and catering facilities with heavy ingredient turnover.
    • Glass Door Reach-In Refrigerator: Features one or more glass doors that allow staff to see stored product at a glance. Reduces unnecessary door openings, helping maintain consistent internal temperatures during service.
    • Pass-Thru Refrigerator: Accessible from both the front and back, making it a strong fit for kitchens where product moves between two stations or between a prep area and a service line.
    • Roll-In Refrigerator: Designed to accept sheet pan racks rolled directly into the cabinet. Used in high-output bakery, catering, and institutional kitchen settings where large batches need to be chilled quickly.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Interior Capacity: Make sure the cubic footage matches what you actually need to store. Most restaurants do well with a two door unit in the 46 to 54 cubic foot range. High-volume kitchens may need a three door model or more than one cabinet.
    • Compressor Location: Top-mount compressors stay cooler and run more efficiently in hot kitchens. Bottom-mount units are easier to service but can run warmer if your kitchen gets hot.
    • Temperature Range: Most reach-ins hold between 33°F and 41°F. Make sure the unit keeps steady temps, even when you load it with warm product after prep.
    • Door Configuration: Solid doors insulate better and keep temps steady. Glass doors let you see inside and speed up workflow. Pick what fits your service style and how often staff need to get in and out.
    • Interior Shelving: Go for shelves that adjust and come out easily. Make sure they fit your pans and containers. Epoxy-coated wire shelves are standard and simple to clean.
    • Energy Efficiency: ECM fan motors and digital controls use less power over time. Look at the total cost to run the unit, not just the price tag.
    • NSF Certification: Many commercial reach-in refrigerators carry NSF certification, confirming they meet sanitation standards required by most local health codes. Check your local requirements before purchasing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What temperature should a commercial reach-in refrigerator hold?

    A commercial reach-in should keep temps between 33°F and 41°F. Most health codes require food at or below 41°F to prevent bacteria. If your unit is well maintained, with good door seals and a working compressor, it should hold steady temps all day, even when busy.

    How long do commercial reach-in refrigerators last?

    A good commercial reach-in lasts 10 to 15 years if you take care of it. Keep door gaskets clean, clean the condenser coils, and don't overload the unit. Stick with brands known for build quality and easy-to-get parts, they last longer.

    What is the difference between a reach-in refrigerator and a walk-in cooler?

    A reach-in is an upright cabinet you open to grab what you need. A walk-in is a room-sized cooler you walk into. Use reach-ins for quick access on the line, and walk-ins for bulk storage and longer-term holding.
