Blue Air BLPT72-D4LM-HC 72" Refrigerated Sandwich & Salad Prep Table, 4 Drawers + Right Door
Blue Air BLPT72-D4LM-HC — 72" Prep Table Combining Four Drawers with a Right-Hand Door
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BLPT72-D4LM-HC solves a storage problem that an all-drawer cabinet cannot: it splits its three-section, 72-3/8" base into four drawers on the left and center plus one self-closing swing door on the right. Behind that door sits an adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelf, so bulk tubs and case stock get real vertical clearance while portioned product stays sorted in drawers. The whole 20.2 cu. ft. cabinet is held between 33 °F and 39 °F by a rear-mounted, self-contained R-290 system working under an 18-pan drop-in rail.
Key Features of the BLPT72-D4LM-HC
Specify the D4LM layout when one six-foot cabinet has to do two different storage jobs at the same time.
Hybrid Base: Four Drawers, One Door
The left and center sections carry four drawers that take 6" deep food pans, while the right-hand section stays open as a full-height compartment. Line cooks get drawer discipline where they build, and the receiving crew gets somewhere to put a case without breaking it down first.
Adjustable Epoxy-Coated Wire Shelf
One epoxy-coated wire shelf sits inside the door section on adjustable supports, so you can set the height around whatever container the menu actually uses. Move it up for a stack of half-pans, drop it down and a tall tub clears underneath.
Self-Closing Door, Lifetime-Guaranteed Handle
The right-hand door swings closed on its own if a cook steps away mid-reach, and its all-metal Ni-Cr plated handle carries a lifetime guarantee. The gasket snaps out for replacement, which turns a torn seal into a shift-change fix instead of a service ticket.
Forced-Air Drop-In Rail
Fans push cold air through the enclosed drop-in area carrying eighteen 1/6 size, 4" deep pans, and a rear-wall air guard evens out circulation across the full 72-3/8" span. An insulated cover with a stainless steel divider keeps spillage from reaching the compartments below.
Hot Gas Frame Heating, No Electric Element
Instead of spending watts on an anti-sweat heater, this cabinet routes hot discharge gas through the frame to cut condensation around the door and drawer openings. That is part of why the whole unit still draws only 5.3 amps on a 1/4 HP compressor.
Self-Diagnostic Digital Control & Alarm
A digital display reads cabinet temperature at a glance while the controller manages automatic evaporator fan motor delay. A visual and audible alarm sounds when the door or a drawer is left short of fully closed, which matters most on the door section where a slow swing can hang open.
Watch the door swing when you lay out the line: the swing door is on the right end of the cabinet, so keep that side clear rather than butting it against a wall or a fryer battery. The published 30-3/64" depth excludes 3" for the door handle and rear spacers, and the 37-19/32" height excludes 5" for the casters. Budget for 379 lbs on the pallet and 348 lbs once it is standing.
Ideal Applications
This layout suits kitchens that carry both portioned mise en place and bulk backup at the same station.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the D4LM in BLPT72-D4LM-HC actually mean?
It describes the base configuration: four drawers occupying the left and middle sections, with the remaining right-hand section fitted as a door compartment. Blue Air's all-drawer 72" model, the BLPT72-D6-HC, replaces that door with two more drawers instead.
Which side is the door on, and can it be reversed?
The self-closing swing door is factory-fitted on the right-hand end of the cabinet, which is how the unit ships and how it is listed. Plan your aisle so that end has room for the door to open fully; if your line needs the opposite hand, look at a different base configuration rather than assuming a field swap.
How much can I fit behind the door section?
The door compartment runs the full height of that section and includes one epoxy-coated wire shelf you can reposition on adjustable supports. That gives you two usable levels for tubs, covered containers or case stock, which drawers sized for 6" pans cannot accommodate.
Do the 18 top pans come with the BLPT72-D4LM-HC?
Yes — a standard set of eighteen 1/6 size, 4" deep pans is provided with the unit, along with the insulated pan cover and its stainless steel divider. The deeper 6" pans that fit the drawers are offered separately.
What circuit and plug does this prep table need?
It runs on a standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase supply and draws 5.3 amps, so no special service is required. The 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord terminates in a molded NEMA 5-15 plug, letting you place the cabinet anywhere a normal kitchen receptacle reaches.
Is the condensing unit serviceable without moving the cabinet?
The self-contained system is rear-mounted on an easy-sliding condensing unit assembly, so a technician can draw it out for coil cleaning or component work from the back. Leave that face reachable during layout instead of pushing the cabinet tight to a wall.
