What Are the Types of Portable Cold Storage?

Whether you’re facing emergency equipment failure or you’ve got some events or seasonal surges coming up, portable cold storage solutions are essential for your business. Using a portable cold storage rental company allows you to adapt to rapidly evolving situations and meet the requirements of your industry with efficiency, reliability and flexibility. 

Key Types of Portable Cold Storage Units

Cool It offers different types of cold storage and makes it easy to scale up or down depending on your needs. Our services, combined with our customer-centric approach, advanced technology and commitment to sustainability, will give you peace of mind.

Walk-In Coolers and Freezers

Walk-in coolers and freezers are versatile, portable cold storage options designed to be spacious enough for people to walk into. The size of these coolers makes them optimal for storing bulk quantities of temperature-sensitive products like beverages, flowers, food, or pharmaceuticals. Most often used in bakeries, restaurants, commercial kitchens, schools and hospitals, Cool It offers walk-in units in two configurations — the Cool It-10’ and the “Big” Cool It-20’.

Key features of our walk-in coolers include dual compressors to provide both freezing and cooling options, 24/7 temperature monitoring, built-in ramps for accessibility and emission-free operation for sustainable solutions. 

Refrigerated Trailers and Containers

Refrigerated trailers and containers, also known as “reefers,” are portable, insulated storage units with built-in refrigeration systems. These systems are designed for mobility and can be delivered and positioned wherever you need them most, making them essential for emergency, temporary or seasonal use. Reefers are available in multiple sizes, providing scalable solutions for event catering, festivals, and large-scale food service. 

With precise temperature controls for perishable goods in transit or storage, refrigerated trailers often have dual temperature offerings, allowing you to use refrigeration and freezing temperature zones in the same unit. Some units with specific sub-freezing temperature capabilities can also be used as freezer trailers for ice, frozen foods, and other products. 

Modular and Containerized Units

Modular and containerized cold storage units are ideal for businesses seeking more customized solutions for size, scalability and convenience. Modular units are built from prefabricated panels or sections that can be assembled on-site, making them perfect for scalable, customizable configurations. Containerized units are ready-to-use insulated shipping containers converted into cold storage units. These refrigerated containers are stackable and movable by truck or forklift, making it easy to move units between vehicles and locations.

Choosing the Right Portable Cold Storage for Your Business

If you are considering commercial refrigeration options for your business, there are several factors that you’ll need to keep in mind, including:

  • Temperature range: Will you need to keep your products cold or ice-cold? Cool It offers units with dual compressors so you can adjust the temperature as required for your inventory.
  • Size: Wherever you install your portable cold storage, you’ll need to ensure it will fit. Measure the space’s width, height, and depth to determine which option will best suit your space.
  • Mobility: Will you need to be able to move your products across town? Most of our rental options are portable, and we can scale solutions to meet your requirements.
