Our wall mounted fridges were supplied by the suppliers of Nobivac vaccines. Be aware that they need the filters at the top and bottom cleaning regularly or the temperature will become too high and the light turns red.

Its only safe to have a small fridge wall mounted - max 60 litres capacity due to the weight issue. However these small fridges can also sit on a worktop for ease of access.

Be aware that 'domestic' type fridges cannot guarantee all parts of the interior remains in the +2c to +8c range suitable for temperature sensitive vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Whilst many practices monitor their domestic fridge's temperatures using a data logger these recordings can often be misleading as they are usually only measuring the middle of the fridge, whereas the bottom can fall close to zero running the risk of freezing - and the top section barely achieving +10c both which are outside the recommended range. Proper 'vet fridges' incorporate internal fans to circulate the interior air temperatures to create a more even temperature distribution.

These fridges are fab, would love to get them in our surgery but I think I'd have some convincing on my hands!

They do need a strong wall to be put up on though.... One practice I heard about found out that plaster board just doesn't cut it.... Erm, craaaassshhh! Ooh dear. But they are great otherwise IMO

I have been looking at vaccine fridges for ages but never seen a wall mounted one. There are ones that you could put on a strong shelf - and it would need to be strong or maybe you could stand one on a base unit to give it extra height.
