Product Description
Make the most of a narrow freezer space with the Crystal Technology & Industries UFD-242 Upright Freezer Drawer Rack. This slim rack stacks four pull-out drawers in a column just 5 1/2" wide, holding eight standard 2" freezer boxes, two boxes deep by four boxes high. Each drawer slides out so you can reach both boxes in that row, including the back one, with no need to pull the whole rack or move other boxes out of the way.
Stainless steel construction keeps the UFD-242 strong and corrosion-free through years of -80°C storage. Each compartment fits standard 2" cardboard, fiberboard, and polycarbonate freezer boxes. At 9 7/16" tall, it stands well on a single freezer shelf and fits beside wider racks to fill gaps that would otherwise go unused.
Pair the UFD-242 with other Crystal drawer racks to build a custom layout for every shelf in your freezer. LIGHT LABS carries the complete Crystal freezer rack line for 2" boxes.
