TRS UK: commercial refrigeration and shopfitting for food retail

TRS UK, also referred to in customer reviews as Transit Retail Services, supplies commercial refrigeration equipment in the United Kingdom, combining brand-new units with refurbished cabinets. Its catalogue is aimed at supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, cash and carry operators, butchers, pet food suppliers and other food retail businesses. Alongside equipment sales, the company presents itself as a shopfitting provider capable of complete store installations.

New and refurbished refrigeration ranges

The product catalogue is organised around four main needs: coldrooms, freezers, chillers and checkouts. Within freezers, the site lists chest freezers, upright freezers, display freezers, multideck freezers, glass door merchandisers, ice cream freezers and overhead freezers. The chiller side includes multideck chillers and glass door merchandisers, while the checkout category covers supermarket checkout counters. Coldrooms and walk-in freezers are also offered.

Refurbished stock forms a distinct part of the offer, with dedicated sections for refurbished refrigeration and chillers, refurbished chest freezers, display freezers and supermarket checkouts. The company states that refurbished units may show minor cosmetic damage and that warranties on these products are purely functional, covering operation rather than the appearance of trims, frames, glass, dividers or cages.

Brands stocked

TRS UK lists both new and refurbished equipment from AHT, Costan, Capital, Tefcold, Bonds, Koolmax, Scancool and Liebherr, among others. Specific models featured on the site include the AHT Paris, AHT Miami, AHT Athens and AHT Kinley XL overhead display freezer, as well as the Costan Epta 2500 overhead display freezer and Liebherr 210 and 250 chest freezers.

Shopfitting and technical services

Beyond supplying cabinets, the company offers professional shop fitting and complete store installations. It also states that its F-gas qualified technicians carry out removal, installation, maintenance and repair of the refrigeration equipment it sells, positioning the business as a single provider for equipment and after-sales technical work.

Purchase conditions shown in the catalogue

Listings indicate that prices are plus VAT and that delivery and installation are available for an additional charge. Cabinets are described as single-phase with standard plugs and integral compressors, free-standing and requiring no special fittings. The site warns that cabinets plugged in within 24 hours of delivery are void of warranty, that installation into the store is at the customer's discretion and not the responsibility of drivers, and that buyers are responsible for returns. Trade discounts are advertised for customers purchasing full trailer loads, and viewings or collections before purchase are welcomed.

Experience and customer feedback

The company claims more than 40 years of experience in the industry and describes itself as one of the UK's leading suppliers of commercial refrigeration, a positioning it states on its own site. It also reports over 2,000 reviews and displays a Trustpilot score of 4.6 based on 33 reviews when this profile was written, alongside a separate figure of 4.6 from 23 reviews. Individual reviews shown on the page are mixed: some customers describe straightforward, quick purchases of multiple freezers, while others report poor after-sales service, delivery delays and equipment that did not work.
