Condition Reports for Your Refrigerated Display Cabinets
MTCSS Retail are experts when it comes to refrigerated display cabinets within the food & drink retail industry. Working with two of the UK’s well-known food and drink retail chains, you can be confident that our team have the expertise to provide a solution that’s perfect for you.
As well as being experts at refurbishing your cold rooms, our team are also experts when it comes to refurbishing your refrigerated cabinets.
Ensuring your refrigerated display cabinets have regular scheduled maintenance is essential to helping your cabinets and products last longer, as well as to maintain a high-quality appearance for your customers.
One way that you can get a complete view of the elements of your refrigerated display cabinet that could benefit from cabinet refurbishment is through cabinet condition reports by MTCSS.
What Is A Refrigerated Cabinet Condition Report?
Similar to our cold room condition reports, a cabinet condition report is an audit that provides you with an overview of what elements of your refrigerated display cabinet need to be replaced, or refurbished, in order for it to optimally refrigerate your products.
Investing in a cabinet condition report can also help you to determine if there are any parts of your refrigerated cabinet that could be refurbished for aesthetic reasons.
The aesthetics of your refrigerated display cabinet are equally as important as the functioning of your cabinet – on average it takes a person 7 seconds to form a first impression, meaning that you might lose business if your refrigerated cabinets don’t look the part!
What Will My Refrigerated Cabinet Condition Report Consist Of?
The elements that we report on within your refrigerated cabinet condition report are:
- The general condition and age of refrigeration units
- The life expectancy remaining
- Cleanliness levels
As well as the above, we provide you with a traffic light review of specific elements within your refrigerated display cabinets.
What Is A Traffic Light Review?
A traffic-light review simply provides you with a colour (either red, amber or green) that corresponds to a part’s condition. For example, if your refrigerated cabinet doors are broken, this would likely be scored as “red”.
MTCSS provide a traffic light review of the following refrigerated display cabinet features:
- Cabinet shelving and ticket strips
- Cabinet bump rails
- Refrigerated display cabinet doors and door furniture
- Air grills & kick plates
- Canopies, end walls and back panels
- Cabinet night blinds
The traffic light review then forms a report to help you understand the refurbishment works required to improve the safety, efficiency, and aesthetics of your refrigerated display cabinet.
Reports (following the traffic light review) consist of a Site Audit Pro for your cabinets, as well as a recommendation report for equipment that requires upgrading/replacing.
Additionally, the MTCSS team can also survey to retrofit refrigerated cabinet doors to help improve your levels of energy efficiency.
The Benefits to Refrigerated Cabinet Condition Reports
Similar to cold room refurbishment, there are many benefits to your business investing in a refrigerated cabinet condition report. The most beneficial reasons to invest in a cabinet condition report are:
1 – To help you identify any health and safety risks that are being posed to your customers and staff (and to see whether it complies with the health and safety regulations of the food & drink retail industry!)
2 – Review how you can reduce your energy expenditure, energy costs and therefore your impact on the environment
3 – Ensure your refrigerated cabinets are running both optimally and efficiently for the products you are storing in there (meeting the correct temperature range)
4 – Ensure your cold storage solutions will pass any upcoming audits
5 – Help you understand the life expectancy and health of your refrigerated display cabinet, and see whether there is anything you can do to improve this (eg. by scheduling planned and ongoing maintenance works for your refrigerated cabinets)
