Small Meat Hanging Cabinet vs Large: Size Guide

Senlis Technical Team | Qingdao Senlis Import and Export Co., Ltd., commercial refrigeration manufacturer since 2003 | Published 12 November 2026

What “small” and “large” mean in this catalog

Listings for a small meat hanging cabinet are mostly small meat aging units, which carry humidity control for maturing meat. The Senlis cabinets in this guide are storage cabinets: their published specification lists no humidity control. Compared with the dry-aging units that dominate those listings, a plain size comparison of hanging-storage cabinets is hard to find, which is why this one is built around load, footprint and height.

“Small” and “large” are relative here. The standard range has no model under 1200 mm wide, so the smaller unit, the GH1200, still takes 0.90 m² of floor and stands 2020 mm tall. If you were hoping for a countertop or undercounter hanging unit, the standard range does not include one. Custom sizes are listed, so a smaller build is a question for the factory. In this guide, small means the GH1200 and large means the GG1200.

GH1200 vs GG1200: head-to-head

The GG1200 doubles the rated load for a third more floor space. Whether it also holds twice as many sides is unknown: internal dimensions, rod count and per-rod load are not published for either model.

Match the model to your situation

Work out your peak load in five steps

• Weigh your largest regular delivery of hanging meat.
• Add the weight of stock still hanging when that delivery arrives.
• Compare the total with 250 kg and 500 kg. Treat each rating as the limit for all meat in the cabinet at once, and confirm that reading with the factory.
• If the total is close to a rating, move up a model or ask about a custom size. A rating is a ceiling, not a target.
• Measure the delivery route and final position against 2020 mm or 2200 mm, whichever model you chose.

Edge cases that change the answer

Floor loading. The GG1200’s rating works out to about 417 kg per m² of footprint from the meat alone. The cabinet’s own weight is not published, so the real figure is higher. Ask your installer to check the floor before you commit to the larger unit.

Casters on the larger model. Casters make cleaning easier; adjustable feet make leveling easier. A fully loaded 500 kg cabinet is a different proposition on wheels, so ask whether the caster option suits the GG1200.

Splitting stock between zones. The two zones are independently adjustable, but the catalog does not say how the total rating divides between them. If you plan to hang frozen product in one zone and chilled product in the other, ask before assuming that the full 250 kg or 500 kg is available in each.

Buying for today only. The two models differ in footprint and height, so a cabinet chosen for current stock cannot simply be swapped for the other model later without redoing the floor plan.

When neither model fits

Senlis lists custom sizes and custom voltages for the line, and OEM/ODM customization is available on all models. Two cabinets are another route, and they let you service one without emptying all your stock. Whether any custom build can exceed the 500 kg rating is a factory question; the catalog does not say.

Price and how to request a quote

Whether you want a large meat hanging cabinet or the smaller one, Senlis publishes no prices, minimum order quantity or payment terms. Pricing is quoted per project — request a quote for your model, quantity, and destination market. Lead time is not published either, so ask for it in the quotation.
The catalog lists CE, RoHS and ISO 9001 for these cabinets without certificate numbers, so request certificate copies that name your model. For context, IEC 60335-2-89 is the IEC safety standard for commercial refrigerating appliances; the catalog does not state conformity to it, so ask for the test report if your market requires it. Senlis states that every unit is tested for cooling stability, energy efficiency and noise level before shipment.

Before you send the inquiry

Put your step 3 total, your route height, your voltage and your floor option (casters or adjustable feet) in the first message. If you are weighing two GG1200 units against a custom size, say so; that comparison depends on your layout and is not in the catalog.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the SLS-GH1200 and SLS-GG1200?

A: Size and rated load. The GH1200 is 1200×750×2020 mm with a 250 kg load; the GG1200 is 1200×1000×2200 mm with a 500 kg load. Temperature range, zones, cooling and options are the same.

Q: Is there a smaller hanging cabinet than the GH1200?

A: Not in the standard range. Custom sizes are listed, so ask the factory.

Q: Which model suits peak stock between 250 and 500 kg?

A: The GG1200, the only standard model rated above 250 kg. Check the 2200 mm height and your floor capacity first.

Q: Can I load the GH1200 beyond 250 kg?

A: The catalog gives 250 kg as its load. Treat that as the limit and confirm with the factory how it is measured.

Q: Do these cabinets age meat?

A: No humidity control is listed in the published specification, so treat both as storage cabinets.

Q: How much do they cost?

A: Senlis does not publish prices. Pricing is quoted per project, based on your model, quantity and destination market.

Q: How do I request a quote?

A: Use the Get Instant Quote form on senlisi.com or message +86 178 0629 5551 on WhatsApp or WeChat. Inquiries are answered within 24 hours.
