Description
The Traulsen TE072HT is a 72-inch self-contained refrigerated chef base with four drawers beneath a stainless steel work top with a drip-guard marine edge. It combines cold drawer storage and equipment support in one low-profile base, helping keep frequently used pan ingredients close to the cooking line.
This exact TE072HT configuration has four self-closing, stay-open drawers sized for 12 x 20 x 6 inch pans, with capacity for eight pans when loaded front to back. Its left-side-mounted refrigeration system is front breathing for zero-clearance installation, while the front, side, and rear access panels support routine service access.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for commercial cook lines that need refrigerated pan storage below countertop cooking equipment or prep work. The TE072HT is a refrigerated base, not a freezer base. Confirm that the equipment placed on top stays within the 1,200 lb maximum top-load capacity and that the available layout accommodates the full drawer-open depth.
Features and Practical Benefits
Four refrigerated drawers at the line
Four drawers provide organized undercounter access to up to eight 12 x 20 x 6 inch pans; pans are not supplied.
Marine-edge stainless work surface
The stainless steel top has a drip-guard marine edge, providing a defined perimeter around the work surface.
Front-breathing refrigeration
The self-contained R-450A refrigeration system uses a front-breathing design, allowing zero-clearance installation.
Drawer access designed for busy prep
Drawers are self-closing and have a stay-open feature, with heavy-gauge stainless steel slides and removable construction.
Simple 115V connection
A NEMA 5-15P plug, 9-foot cord, and cord retainer are provided for the specified 115/60/1 electrical configuration.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Plan for a 72 inch overall length, 34 3/16 inch depth over the handle, and 26 3/16 inch overall height on the supplied 4-inch casters.
- Allow for a 54 1/8 inch depth when drawers are fully open; this is important for aisle and cook-line clearance.
- The front-breathing refrigeration design permits zero-clearance installation. Keep the front area usable for airflow and service access.
- Connect the unit to 115/60/1 power using its supplied NEMA 5-15P plug and 9-foot cord with cord retainer.
- The refrigeration system is left-side mounted as standard. A right-side system location is an option, not the standard configuration.
- Verify the combined load of countertop equipment and use does not exceed the 1,200 lb maximum top-load capacity.
Choosing This Configuration
TE072HT is the 72-inch, four-drawer refrigerated model in this configuration; it is not a freezer chef base.
This model has a stainless steel marine-edge top and standard 4-inch casters. Six-inch stainless steel legs and other caster arrangements are listed as options rather than standard equipment.
The drawers accommodate 12 x 20 x 6 inch pans, but pans are supplied by others.
The standard refrigeration system is on the left side; specify the optional right-side system only when the installation requires it.
