Rhino TK Open Display Fridge Range: TK-6S vs TK-6 vs TK-9 vs TK-12
Short answer: All four Rhino TK open display fridges run the same commercial platform — the choice is width and litres. The TK-6S 162L is the counter-height pick where sight-lines matter, the TK-6 170L gets you full height in the same slim 610mm footprint, the TK-9 260L is the volume pick for most cafés, and the TK-12 325L is the high-traffic unit at 1210mm wide. Updated July 2026 — specs verified against Rhino's published data.

What Every TK Shares
The TK series is one refrigeration platform in four widths, and the parts list is the reason it holds up in commercial use: a commercial-grade compressor, EC fans, an electronic controller, R290 refrigerant and cyclopentane insulation. All four run LED lighting, fully adjustable multideck shelves, castor wheels, a magnetic bottom grill for easy servicing, and low-E glass side panels that resist condensation.
Open display fridges cool an open cabinet all day — that's the deal you make for grab-and-go convenience — which is why running costs sit higher than an equivalent glass door unit of the same size. Every unit is indoor-rated, holds stock at 2°C in normal room conditions, and carries a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
TK-6S 162L — the counter-height one
At 1350mm tall, the TK-6S is the only TK that sits below standard shelving height and eye-line — which is why it ends up beside registers and service counters. Its rated 6.92kWh/day is the lowest in the range. It suits impulse drinks at the point of sale more than bulk stock. Best for: counter-side impulse sales, low sight-line fit-outs, smaller cafés.
TK-6 170L — the slim full-height one
Same 610mm footprint as the TK-6S, stretched to 1500mm for an extra shelf of display. If floor space is the constraint and you want maximum vertical display per square metre, this is the pick. Best for: narrow sites, delis and espresso bars where the fridge must slot into a tight run.
TK-9 260L — the one most venues should buy
The 890mm-wide TK-9 is the balance point of the range: 53% more capacity than the TK-6 for about $257 more per year in rated running cost. The shelf spans (810mm top and middle, 840mm floor deck) take full sandwich trays and drink rows without side gaps. Best for: most cafés, bottle shop grab-and-go bays, canteens.
TK-12 325L — the high-traffic one
At 1210mm wide with 1130–1160mm shelf spans, the TK-12 is the full merchandising wall. It's the only TK rated at 3 stars rather than 4, and its 14.22kWh/day is the range's highest — that's the physics of a wider open front. If turnover justifies the display area, it pays for itself in impulse sales; if it doesn't, buy the TK-9 and bank the difference. Best for: supermarkets, food courts, high-volume lunch trade.
Installation: the clearances that catch people out
All four models need the same breathing room: 20mm each side, 20mm on top, and 100mm at the rear. In practice that means a minimum cavity 40mm wider than the unit and 100mm deeper — check the cavity dimensions on each product page before committing to joinery. They roll on castors, so servicing access is a push, not a rebuild.
Where they sit in the bigger picture
The TK series is the doorless end of our commercial fridge and freezer range — the full open display collection has all four with filters and current pricing. If your stock doesn't need to be within arm's reach — back bar, cold room overflow, display where staff serve — a glass door commercial upright cools the same litres for materially less energy, and we stock those from 208L to 1664L.
