Product Description
Thirty boxes in a single 5 1/2" wide rack: the highest capacity in Crystal's entire drawer rack line. The Crystal Technology & Industries UFD-562 Upright Freezer Drawer Rack holds thirty 2" freezer boxes, five boxes deep by six boxes high, in six extra-long pull-out drawers. Each drawer brings a full row of five boxes forward, so even the back of a 27" deep shelf is within easy reach.
To fit six drawers into a standard freezer shelf, Crystal makes the UFD-562 compartments slightly shorter than the rest of the line (2 1/16" vs. 2 1/8"), which makes them ideal for standard 2" cardboard freezer boxes. The rack is built from pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double welds for rigidity under a full load at -80°C, with smoothed edges for safe, comfortable handling.
At 14 1/8" tall and 27" deep, the UFD-562 makes full use of large upright freezer shelves. For Panasonic/PHCbi freezers, Crystal offers a dedicated version, the UFD-562-S. Maximize your freezer capacity with the UFD-562 from LIGHT LABS.
