Model
Yes, roof-mounted packaged refrigeration unit allows for the case to be ready to go quickly by simply plugging in the case.
Small-format stores, typically under 25,000 square feet, are ideal for the Guardian Merchandiser. Their compact layout supports shorter grocery lineups and end caps ideal for the Guardian.
The Hybrid display case currently operates using a condensing unit. However, with all the uncertainties with regulatory changes, the Guardian offers a future-proof solution with a Propane Plug-and-Play Refrigeration Unit (PRU) mounted on top of the case, enabling independent operation from a central refrigeration rack while meeting all new standards.
