Product Description
Two dozen boxes, six drawers, and a 5 1/2" footprint. The Crystal Technology & Industries UFD-462 Upright Freezer Drawer Rack packs twenty-four 2" freezer boxes, four boxes deep by six boxes high, into one tall, narrow rack. It's built for labs that need to get the most out of every deep freezer shelf. Each full-depth pull-out drawer brings a row of four boxes forward, so the back box is never out of reach.
To fit six drawers into a standard freezer shelf, Crystal makes the UFD-462 compartments slightly shorter than the rest of the line (2 1/16" vs. 2 1/8"). That makes them ideal for standard 2" cardboard freezer boxes. The rack is made from pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double welds, so it stays rigid even fully loaded at -80°C, and its smoothed edges make handling safe and comfortable.
At 14 1/8" tall and 22 5/16" deep, the UFD-462 makes full use of tall, deep upright freezer shelves. For Panasonic/PHCbi freezers, Crystal offers a dedicated version, the UFD-462-S. Maximize your freezer capacity with the UFD-462 from LIGHT LABS.
