Description
The Traulsen RCV132WUT-HHS is a one-section, self-contained reach-in cabinet that switches between refrigerator and freezer operation at a face-mounted key switch. This gives a kitchen one cabinet that can be assigned to chilled or frozen inventory as menu needs change, rather than dedicating its 23.43 cu. ft. interior permanently to one temperature range.
This exact HHS configuration has two half-height solid doors, allowing staff to access either portion of the cabinet while limiting the opening area. Its stainless steel exterior and interior, three adjustable coated-wire shelves, LED lighting, door locks, and self-closing doors support organized back-of-house storage. The cabinet operates in either refrigerator or freezer mode; it is not a simultaneous refrigerator/freezer combination.
Applications and Workflow
Use this convertible reach-in in restaurants, cafeterias, institutional kitchens, and prep areas that need to reassign a single storage cabinet between refrigerated and frozen product storage. Select it when two half-height doors suit the workflow. Plan inventory around one selected operating mode at a time: refrigerator mode is 34–38°F and freezer mode is -10–0°F, with temperatures described by Traulsen as non-adjustable.
Features and Practical Benefits
Switchable cold-storage role
A face-mounted key switch changes operation from freezer to refrigerator mode, helping operators adapt the cabinet to changing storage needs.
Half-door access
This HHS model is configured with half-height solid doors. Each door is self-closing and can stay open at 120°, supporting loading while reducing unnecessary full-cabinet exposure during access.
Organized one-section interior
The 23.43 cu. ft. cabinet includes three adjustable coated-wire shelves on shelf pins, providing a starting point for separated product organization.
Self-contained refrigeration
The top-mounted, balanced self-contained refrigeration system uses R-290 refrigerant, so this model does not require a remote refrigeration connection.
Built for daily commercial use
Stainless steel forms the exterior, interior, door liner, and louver assembly, while magnetic snap-in EZ-Clean gaskets simplify routine door-gasket cleaning.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Allow a footprint of 29 7/8 in. wide by 35 1/8 in. overall deep; overall height on the included 6 in. legs is 83 7/16 in.
- When a door is opened 90°, the cabinet depth reaches 56 11/16 in. Plan aisle and adjacent-equipment clearance accordingly.
- Provide a 115/60/1 electrical connection for the attached 9 ft. cord with NEMA 5-15P plug.
- The refrigeration system is top mounted. Traulsen prefers 12 in. of top clearance for performance and service access.
- The cabinet is supplied with four adjustable 6 in. stainless steel legs. Verify the delivery path and installed overhead clearance before purchase.
Choosing This Configuration
RCV132WUT-HHS is the half-height solid-door configuration. It differs from the RCV132WUT-FHS configuration, which has a full-height solid door.
This is a one-section, 23.43 cu. ft. cabinet. It is not the wider two-section convertible configuration.
Three coated-wire shelves per section are standard. Tray slides, extra shelves, casters, and other interior/support arrangements are options and should not be assumed to be included.
