You’ve probably heard of storage bins before, they are becoming an increasingly popular method of industrial storage. They come in many different sizes and can be used for a wide range of applications. A slightly different type is the cold storage container.

Cold storage containers are refrigerated with variable temperature controls, typically capable of reaching temperatures ranging from -15 degrees to 75 degrees (Fahrenheit). They are quite versatile and can be placed outside or inside at dock height or on the ground. They provide refrigeration that is environmentally friendly (ozone safe).

Larger containers usually have a strong and resistant floor, this floor is capable of supporting the weight of forklifts, which makes them ideal for industrial uses.

Due to their refrigerant properties, cold storage units are best suited for applications and industries, including fast food chains, pharmaceutical manufacturers, supermarkets, caterers, and food processors.

Containers are not only available as standalone units but cold rooms may also be available as trailers, trailers are extremely portable and can be placed almost anywhere. They come with a tow bar attached, and because of their mobility, they can be towed by almost any vehicle with a tow bar. (You don’t need a powerful van or truck to transport these units.)

These containers are available for purchase, however due to the reasons for using them and the fact that they are often short term, many companies offer them for rent and that seems to be the most popular option.
