The Bushman HD series of 12V compressor fridges is a new, upgraded line of 12V portable, upright and drawer fridges. Everything we have learned in the last 40 years, is built into the new models. All of our Heavy Duty Series fridges carry the Bushman HD brand.

All Bushman HD Series fridges have received upgrades based on customer feedback over many years. As the outdoor adventure and camping world has evolved in Australia over the last 20 years, from simple tent camping to more comprehensive touring vehicles and 4WD setups, we have evolved our fridges to better meet our customers’ needs.

The biggest upgrade at the heart of all Bushman Heavy Duty series fridges is an upgraded compressor. Smaller fridges all use the new Secop Danfoss Heavy Duty Series compressor, while our largest fridges utilise a Secop Danfoss BDK High Capacity compressor for better long term performance and reliability, even in the hardest conditions.

Bushman is the first and only company in Australia to utilise this specialised compressor, which is designed and built by industry leader Danfoss to even better handle extreme vibrations over an extended period of time, so you can travel further and in rougher conditions with peace of mind.

Now with a 7-Year compressor warranty!

Further upgrades to all HD series fridges include more robust construction and the exclusive use of threaded bolts and nut inserts to replace many existing sheet metal screw points, for a fridge that can really go the distance and stand up to its “Heavy Duty” name.

Improved styling and finish adds a cleaner, more modern touch.

For a boost in efficiency and more even cooling, all our medium and large size upright fridges (85L +) come with an internal fan to assist cold air flow inside the fridge. This provides the best OEM interior fan solution for our customers in the most extreme heat and for difficult installations.

All DC-X Series fridges now have even more mounting options as standard.

Mounting Kit (Included)

The Bushman mounting kit fascia is still included with every fridge.

M5 Captive Nuts

M5 captive nuts with dacromet coated bolts are factory fitted on the top and bottom edge of both sides and the rear of the fridge cabinet. Ready for use with any custom brackets or mounting points for your cavity.

Internal Mounting Sleeves

New for 2026, internal mounting sleeves. You can now safely drill from inside the fridge, out into your cabinetwork.

We exclusively use wire on tube heat exchangers (condenser) on every Bushman fridge.

These heat exchangers are better suited to Australian conditions than other radiator style units, as dust and fluff does not build up on the tubular components over time. Resulting in better long term cooling.

From 2026, all our heat exchangers are double powder coated for even better rust proofing.
