Description
The Traulsen UST279-D is a 27-inch sandwich and salad preparation refrigerator with 9 one-sixth-size pan positions in the top rail and 2 refrigerated drawers below. A 8-inch-deep cutting board provides the assembly surface directly in front of the ingredient rail, combining ingredient access and preparation in one station.
The 2-drawer base accommodates 6 one-sixth-size pans per drawer, keeping additional ingredients in a pan-based arrangement below the work surface. A hinged flat cover protects the top rail when it is closed, and a reversible white nylon cutting board is supplied standard. The rear-mounted, self-contained refrigeration system uses R-290; electronic controls provide a digital cabinet-temperature display.
Applications and Workflow
Useful for sandwich assembly, salad production, deli service, and other foodservice stations that organize ingredients across a 9-position top rail. The enclosed refrigerated base provides backup storage at the same workstation; it is not a freezer or a hot-food holding cabinet.
Features and Practical Benefits
9 top pan positions
The UST279-D provides a model-specific ingredient arrangement using one-sixth-size top pans. Confirm the arrangement when replacing a lower- or higher-pan-count UST model.
8-inch cutting-board depth
The full-length white nylon board is reversible. Its depth is part of this configuration, so a model with a different rail layout may give a different balance between ingredient positions and working surface.
2-drawer backup storage
Each drawer is listed for 6 one-sixth-size pans. Drawer storage differs from the shelf arrangement supplied with a door-based UST cabinet.
Self-contained refrigeration and digital display
The rear-mounted system uses R-290 and requires no separate remote condensing unit. Electronic controls display cabinet temperature, while front airflow needs to remain clear for normal operation and service.
Back-finish configuration
This is the standard-back configuration; the manufacturer identifies stainless steel front, sides, cover, and access panels with a galvanized exterior back/bottom arrangement.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Allow for a 27-inch station width and verify the factory drawing for overall depth, height, and supports before building the line. The listed cutting-board depth is 8 inches.
- Provide 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase power and a receptacle for the attached NEMA 5-15P plug. The selected manufacturer sheet lists 7.2 full-load amps. Confirm the actual unit data plate before connection.
- Keep the front aisle clear for full drawer extension and removal of loaded pans.
- Check clearance above the hinged cover so it can open fully. Closed-cover dimensions do not establish the overhead space needed during loading.
- Keep front ventilation accessible and retain space for cleaning and refrigeration service. Confirm the pan package and delivered accessories on the order.
Choosing This Configuration
This 9-pan top rail is paired with a 8-inch-deep cutting board. When comparing another UST model of the same width, check both pan capacity and board depth rather than choosing on width alone.
Choose this drawer base when pan-organized backup storage is preferred. A door model has shelves and should not be assumed to include the same drawer or pan layout.
This is the standard-back configuration; the manufacturer identifies stainless steel front, sides, cover, and access panels with a galvanized exterior back/bottom arrangement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many top pans does the UST279-D accommodate?
The top rail has 9 positions for one-sixth-size pans. The base separately provides 2 drawers with 6 one-sixth-size pan positions per drawer.
How deep is the cutting board?
The manufacturer configuration table lists a 8-inch-deep reversible white nylon cutting board. Compare both rail capacity and board depth when considering another model.
Does this require a remote condensing unit?
No. It has rear-mounted, self-contained refrigeration using R-290. Keep the front airflow path accessible and follow the installation instructions.
Are drawer and door versions the same inside?
No. This model has 2 refrigerated drawers. Drawer versions organize pans in drawers, while door versions use shelves for the refrigerated base. Verify the exact model and included storage package.
