Description
The True TUC-48F-HC undercounter freezer is designed to deliver dependable frozen storage while maximizing efficiency in space-constrained commercial kitchens. Engineered with a self-contained capillary tube refrigeration system, this unit utilizes environmentally friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant to consistently maintain temperatures at -10°F, making it ideal for frozen foods, ice cream, and prep-line ingredients.
Why True
- Made in the USA. True builds its refrigeration at its own manufacturing facilities in Missouri.
- Family-owned since 1945. Four generations building commercial refrigeration.
- 7-year warranty. True covers parts, labor and the compressor for 7 years on its R290 hydrocarbon foodservice units. True’s warranty terms apply.
- Often specified by name. Many chains and franchises call for True on their equipment lists.

To ensure uniform cooling, high-efficiency condenser and evaporator fan motors circulate air evenly throughout the cabinet while minimizing heat production and energy consumption. The epoxy-coated evaporator provides added protection against corrosion, extending the life of the refrigeration system. For simplified servicing, the rear-mounted condensing unit slides out, allowing fast access for cleaning and maintenance.
This freezer also features a self-cleaning condenser system that improves long-term performance. Each time the compressor cycles on, the condenser fan motor briefly reverses airflow to help remove dust and debris from the condensing coil. This process supports consistent cooling, reduces strain on the system, and helps lower overall energy usage when paired with routine preventive maintenance.
Constructed for heavy commercial use, the exterior includes stainless steel on the front, top, and ends, paired with a GalFan-coated steel back for added durability. The interior is lined with clear-coated aluminum, while the stainless steel floor with coved corners prevents spills from collecting and simplifies cleaning. Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation enhances structural strength and helps retain cold air inside the cabinet.
Storage flexibility is provided by four PVC-coated wire shelves, which can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of frozen products. The stainless steel doors are equipped with 12-inch recessed handles and a 90-degree stay-open feature, allowing efficient loading during busy service hours. Magnetic door gaskets create a tight seal to prevent temperature loss, and casters make it easy to move the unit for cleaning beneath.

Common Questions
Is shipping free, and is liftgate delivery included?
Yes. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC, with nothing added at checkout. Larger items ship by freight truck with liftgate delivery included, and the carrier calls ahead to schedule. Smaller items ship by parcel. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
Do I need a plumber or electrician?
Usually not. Most refrigeration plugs into an outlet, so check the voltage and plug type in the specifications above. After delivery, let it stand upright for several hours (ideally 24) before plugging it in so the refrigerant can settle.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. It is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, shown on this page. Keep your delivery paperwork, and inspect the unit for freight damage before signing for it.
Can I pick it up instead of having it shipped?
Equipment like this ships directly from the manufacturer's warehouse, so pickup usually is not available. If you are in the NJ/NY area, call 877-558-2253 and we will check for you.
