Cold rooms
What’s the difference between a prefabricated cold room and a custom cold room?
Prefabricated cold rooms are delivered and installed quickly. This affordable option is more accessible for small businesses or individuals with a limited budget. You can choose between small, medium, or large sizes.
A custom cold room is specifically designed to meet your needs based on your environment or industry constraints (food, pharmaceutical, logistics, etc.): dimensions, interior layout, equipment, etc.
How do I determine the size and temperature of my cold room?
The size of your cold room depends on the quantity of products to store, stock rotation, accessibility, and organization. You can calculate your volume needs (in cubic meters) based on the number of pallets or boxes to be stored.
The temperature depends on the type of products you plan to store. Temperatures vary by product type.
Our team can help you more accurately calculate your needs to determine the ideal cold room dimensions.
Should I rent or buy a cold room?
Your decision depends on your priorities, growth forecasts, and operational and financial constraints.
- Rent a cold room if you have temporary needs, a limited budget, or want flexibility.
- Buy a cold room if your need is long-term, you want to amortize the investment, and you can handle maintenance and repairs.
Refrigerated trailers
What’s the difference between a refrigerated trailer and a refrigerated truck?
A refrigerated trailer is attached to a towing vehicle, while a refrigerated truck is a full vehicle with a cab and refrigerated compartment.
Refrigerated trailers are ideal for businesses needing to transport large quantities over long distances. They offer more flexibility if you have multiple towing vehicles and want to optimize your trailer fleet.
Can I buy a refrigerated trailer instead of renting?
Yes, we offer refrigerated trailers for sale.
How do I power a refrigerated trailer if I’m on a site without electricity?
We offer refrigerated trailers compatible with generator power.
