Description
The 2.6m Serve Over Counter is a plug-in refrigerated service display cabinet built for butchers, delicatessens, farm shops and fresh food retailers. At 2590mm wide, the 2.6m model is the largest serve-over counter in the VMAX flat glass range — a full-scale service counter specified for high-volume butchers, supermarket fresh meat and deli counters, food halls and large delicatessens. The 2590mm stainless steel deck provides comprehensive display capacity for a complete product range, with the full-length intermediate glass shelf adding a second merchandising tier above it. Flat glass front, ventilated cooling and plug-in operation — professional specification at the scale required by serious fresh food retail operations.
Maximum Capacity in a Single Cabinet
A 2590mm serve-over is a significant commitment of both floor space and capital, and it makes sense for a specific kind of operation: one where the fresh service counter is a primary driver of trade rather than a supplementary offer. At this width, the counter can carry a complete product range with proper category separation — different meat cuts, cooked meats, cheeses, prepared foods and daily specials all displayed simultaneously with clear visual distinction between them. Three or more staff can work the counter without interference. The ventilated cooling system becomes particularly important at this length: even air distribution across 2590mm is what prevents the temperature variation that would otherwise develop between the compressor end and the far end of a cabinet this size. As a plug-in unit, it requires no external refrigeration plant — a considerable installation advantage over a remote cabinet of comparable capacity.
