Description
The Traulsen RCV232WUT-FHS is a 58-inch, two-section convertible reach-in cabinet for operations that need to shift a single storage cabinet between refrigerated and frozen product storage. A face-mounted key switch changes the entire cabinet from refrigerator to freezer mode, helping kitchens adapt storage space as menus and inventory needs change.
This exact R-Series configuration has two full-height solid stainless steel doors with left/right hinging, a stainless steel interior and exterior, and a top-mounted self-contained refrigeration system. Each section is furnished with three adjustable coated wire shelves, for six shelves total.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for commercial kitchens, prep areas, bakeries, institutional foodservice, and back-of-house storage where the same cabinet may need to serve refrigerated or frozen inventory at different times. This is a whole-cabinet convertible unit, not a dual-temperature refrigerator/freezer; it operates in either refrigerator mode or freezer mode, and its operating temperatures are preset rather than adjustable.
Features and Practical Benefits
Switchable refrigerated or frozen storage
Use the face-mounted key switch to convert the cabinet from freezer operation to refrigerator operation as storage requirements change.
Full-height two-door access
Two full solid doors provide separate access to the two sections. The standard 232W door arrangement is left/right hinged, and the doors self-close while staying open at 120° when needed for loading.
Organized shelf storage
Three adjustable coated wire shelves are supplied per section on shelf pins, providing six standard shelves across the cabinet.
Stainless steel foodservice construction
The cabinet front, sides, louver assembly, doors, interior, and door liners are stainless steel for a durable, cleanable reach-in workspace.
Self-contained top-mounted system
The balanced R-290 refrigeration system is top mounted behind the louver assembly, avoiding the need to connect this model to a remote condenser.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Plan a 58 in. wide by 35 in. deep footprint; the cabinet is 83 1/4 in. high on its included 6 in. adjustable stainless steel legs.
- Allow for the doors to project to a 57 11/16 in. overall depth when opened 90°. Each full-height door has a 21 1/8 in. clear width.
- Provide 115/60/1 electrical service for the attached 9 ft. cord with NEMA 5-15P plug.
- Leave 12 in. top clearance where possible for preferred performance and service access.
- This is a self-contained model. Confirm the installation location can accommodate the top-mounted louver area and required service access; do not plan for a remote condenser connection.
Choosing This Configuration
RCV232WUT-FHS is the full-height-solid-door version: it has two full-height solid doors. It is distinct from the RCV232WUT-HHS half-height-door configuration.
The cabinet converts as one cabinet between refrigerator and freezer modes. It does not provide simultaneous refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Standard shelf arrangement is coated wire shelving. Tray slides, stainless steel shelves, casters, and other interior or support arrangements are listed as options and should be specified separately if required.
