Constructed from stainless steel operators need to just step on the pedal, which operates a lever to open the door to the coldroom. The foot operated system means there will be reduced touch points to help meet the heightened hygiene standards due to Covid-19.

The second benefit is that it makes it easier for kitchen staff to bring products into the coldroom without having to juggle what they are carrying while opening the door with their hands.  

Malcolm Harling, sales and marketing director of Williams, said: “The new foot-operated opener is going to make life easier for staff, and help them maintain stringent hygiene standards. The fact that it can be retro-fitted to existing Williams coldrooms is an important benefit, too.” 

The foot-operated door opener costs from £350, depending on the coldroom design. To learn more about Williams product range visit www.williams-refrigeration.co.uk.
