VARIO L Display Case — a low-configuration compact refrigerated retail display case from the VARIO series, designed for displaying chilled food products, beverages, dairy products and delicacies in retail stores, near checkouts, in front of open display cases and other limited-height retail space areas. L stands for low configuration — the VARIO L is lower than the standard VARIO 3 Display Case or VARIO H Showcase, making it suitable for situations where visual openness must be maintained and the space perspective must not be obstructed, or where there are low ceilings or low partitions. The low configuration is particularly convenient for impulse purchase displays placed near checkouts, where a taller display case would obstruct the interaction zone between the cashier and the customer. BHS offers the VARIO L Display Case along with a wide range of shop display cases.
BHS specialists help choose between the VARIO L and other VARIO models. Also see the VARIO H Showcase and the VARIO 3 Display Case.
The VARIO L Display Case is the most compact and lowest model in the VARIO series, offering a flexible solution for limited-height displays in retail. The low configuration is an advantage in all retail situations where a taller display case would create spatial or visual problems, but a compact refrigerated zone solution is still needed. The VARIO L avoids one of the most common limitations in checkout zone equipment — a standard-height display case obstructs communication and visibility.
Advantages of the VARIO L low configuration
The low height of the VARIO L offers several specific advantages compared to taller VARIO models. Visual openness in the space — the VARIO L does not obstruct the perspective of the space; an open retail space feel; suitable for shops where the space seems small. At checkouts and near entrances — the height of the VARIO L allows staff to see over the display case; the cashier monitors the checkout area; impulse purchases at checkouts with a low display case. Low-ceiling spaces — spaces with low or sloping ceilings where a standard-height display case does not fit. Combined width placement — the VARIO L can be placed on the counter or as part of the counter; additional display space in a checkout strip. Also see the VARIO H Showcase.
Technical parameters
The technical parameters of the VARIO L Display Case ensure efficient refrigeration in a compact size. Storage temperature — +2°C to +8°C; precise electronic regulation. Height — lower than the VARIO 3; exact dimensions to be confirmed with BHS. Refrigeration system — built-in compressor in a compact format; efficient ventilation cooling. LED lighting — energy-efficient LED for even illumination. Number of shelves — fewer than in taller models; optimal for the low format. Glass panels — glass at the front; good visibility angle from above. Also see the VARIO 3 Display Case.
Comparison of VARIO series models by height
The VARIO series offers various height options to suit retail space and display needs. VARIO L — the lowest model; compact; for checkouts and limited zones. VARIO 3 — standard height; the most popular; for medium-sized shops. VARIO 3 VE — standard height with improved ventilation. VARIO H — the tallest model; for large shops with high ceilings. Recommendation — if ceiling height is limited or a compact display is needed in a specific zone, the VARIO L is the natural choice; if the space height allows, the VARIO 3 or VARIO H provide greater product capacity.

HoReCa and retail application scenarios
Retail checkout zones — the VARIO L as an impulse purchase refrigerated display case at checkouts; chilled beverages, yogurt or small delicacies; the low height does not obstruct cashier communication with the customer. Low-ceiling retail spaces — the VARIO L is the only suitable VARIO series alternative in spaces with ceilings lower than 2.2 m. Counter enhancement — the VARIO L as an additional compact refrigerated display element next to or behind the main checkout.
