A container cold room is a complete cold store built inside a 20 ft or 40 ft steel container: PUR/PIR sandwich panels on the walls, ceiling and floor, an insulated door, and a refrigeration unit sized for the temperature class. It suits farms, food producers, sites without a suitable building, and mobile and temporary cold storage.

Reefer Container or Container Cold Room?
A shipping reefer container is built to carry goods by sea and road. A container cold room is a stationary cold store: the steel container holds PUR/PIR panels on the walls, ceiling and floor, a refrigeration unit and evaporator sized for the temperature class, a control panel beside the door, and a hygienic white interior with lighting. Each unit is assembled in our factory and run down to its set temperature before shipment, so on site you set it down, connect the power and run it.
Benefits of Container Cold Rooms
- Portable: the unit can be moved to a new site by truck or ship.
- Quick start: it arrives as one complete unit and runs once it is connected to power.
- No separate building needed: the steel shell protects the cold room in harsh conditions.
- Back-up power: with generator back-up it keeps running on sites with weak mains power.
- Lower start-up cost: for seasonal or temporary storage it avoids building a permanent cold store.
Temperature Classes
Choose the class by the product you store:
- Cool storage, +8 °C: fruit, vegetables, flowers
- Chilled storage, 0/+4 °C: fresh meat, fish, dairy
- Frozen storage, -18 °C: frozen food and ice cream
- Deep freeze, -25 °C: long-term frozen storage
- Ultra-low, -45 °C: shock freezing, special products
Several containers can stand side by side to store products at different temperatures. For rapid freezing of larger volumes, see our blast freezers.
Container Sizes
Units are built in 20 ft or 40 ft containers. The internal size depends on the insulation thickness for the temperature class and is given in the quotation. See 20 ft and 40 ft container cold room specifications.
Ordering and Shipping a Container Cold Room from Turkey
Send us the product, the temperature and the site location. We reply and send a quotation within 24 hours. Production takes 3–7 weeks, and the unit ships by truck or sea as a standard container, EXW or CIF, with payment by L/C or T/T. We handle the export documents. Abroad, our own team installs and commissions the unit, or our supervisor travels to the site.
For more than 15 years we have exported to more than 40 countries. We have exported to Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, The Gambia and Senegal; see our pages for Kenya, Tanzania and West Africa.
Conclusion
A container cold room is a factory-tested cold store that is delivered, and can be moved, as one unit. For sizes, temperature classes and construction details, see our container cold room product page.
