Atosa AWC0808TF-EL/ER 8' x 8' Walk-In Cooler with Exterior Ramp - 1.5 HP Top-Mount Refrigeration
Atosa AWC0808TF-EL/ER 8' x 8' Walk-In Cooler with Exterior Ramp — 1.5 HP Top-Mount Refrigeration
The Atosa AWC0808TF-EL/ER is an 8' x 8' indoor walk-in cooler built for busy restaurants, delis, grocery stores, bars, and catering kitchens that need serious refrigerated storage. It holds 35°F to 38°F and arrives as a complete package: 4" foamed-in-place panels rated R-29, a reinforced floor, a 36" door with heated frames and diamond tread kick plates, an exterior ramp, and a top-mount drop-in refrigeration system with a 1.5 HP condensing unit and evaporator included.
Cam-lock panels make installation straightforward, and the drop-in refrigeration system sits on top of the box, so there's no separate condensing unit to mount or line set to run.

Built for High-Volume Refrigerated Storage
- Full-service restaurants — produce, proteins, dairy, and prepped ingredients by the case
- Delis and sandwich shops — meats, cheeses, and salads ready for service
- Grocery and convenience stores — backstock for beverages, dairy, and produce
- Bars and breweries — kegs and bottled beverages kept cold and ready
- Catering kitchens — event prep held at safe temperatures until service
Construction
The box uses 4" thick foamed-in-place panels with cam locks and an R-29 insulation rating for a tight, efficient seal. The interior and exterior are white, and the reinforced floor is standard. The box stands 7'7" high, and the overall height with the condenser installed is 117" (9'9"). Atosa recommends an 11' ceiling for airflow around the condenser.
Door and Hardware
- 36" door with heated frames to prevent condensation around the door
- Diamond tread kick plates to protect the door from carts and boots
- 3 spring-loaded heavy-duty Kason hinges
- Heavy-duty Kason door closer so the door closes on its own
- Heavy-duty Kason handle with lock and an inside safety release
- Exterior ramp (34-1/2" x 27-1/2") for carts and hand trucks
Refrigeration
The top-mount drop-in refrigeration system includes a 1.5 HP condensing unit and evaporator, runs on R404A refrigerant, and is designed for low noise. It holds 35°F to 38°F, which keeps refrigerated food safely below the 41°F FDA Food Code limit. A digital LED display shows the box temperature at a glance, and a 48" ceiling-mount LED light lights the interior.
Shelving
Atosa's plan for this size lines the walls with a mix of 24" x 36" (MWSSE243674) and 24" x 48" (MWSSE244874) shelving units, leaving a clear aisle from the 36" door.

Installation
The AWC0808TF-EL/ER is for indoor installation only. Plan for a dedicated 208–240V single-phase circuit on a 30 amp breaker, an overall height of 117" with the condenser installed, and an 11' ceiling so the condenser has room to breathe. Keep the condenser clean for the best efficiency. Installation should be handled by a qualified refrigeration and electrical contractor.
