Temporary Cold Storage Rental
Add cold storage capacity without building it
You don’t need a new cold room or permanent build-out to add refrigerated space. A temporary rental unit gives you extra capacity onsite. And without any disruption to your team.
We rent refrigerated containers as portable cold storage units to clients across the US and Canada. These refrigerated container rentals are walk-in, heavily insulated units with integrated cooling systems.
Your team can load, access and manage stock close to production, service or dispatch areas.
For many projects, our signature ArcticStore model is the ideal temporary cold storage solution. It supports portable chilled or frozen storage whenever you need backup – things like maintenance periods or refurbishments.

When temporary cold storage rental makes sense
Temporary refrigeration rental works well when demand on your available space changes fast. Common reasons people rent our ArcticStores include:
Cooler or freezer breakdowns
Use backup cold storage when your existing refrigeration is down.
Seasonal inventory spikes
Add short-term cold storage for holidays, promotions, harvest season or busy production periods.
Events and catering
Keep food, drinks and prepared stock near your service teams.
Maintenance, refits and refurbishments
Move temperature-sensitive stock out of fixed cold rooms while work is underway.

Practical setup advice before delivery
Whenever you need temporary cold storage, you want it onsite fast. But it pays to pause for a second and consider the best setup.
- Choose level ground. A flat placement area helps with safe access and smooth everyday operations.
- Plan staff access. Leave space for doors, stock movement and product flow around the unit.
- Check the route in. Review truck access, turning space and the final placement route before delivery.
- Confirm power and site conditions. Share your site details with us so we can talk you through the rental setup.
- Protect airflow where possible. Avoid blocking airflow around the rental unit and minimize direct sun exposure if you can.
Our delivery and placement planning information will help you prepare before final delivery is confirmed.
