2.4m x 7.2m Cold Room

What is a 2.4m x 7.2m cold room?

A 2.4m x 7.2m cold room is a large-format, walk-in refrigeration structure designed for high-volume chilled storage in a fixed position. Offering approximately 31.5m³ (1110ft³) of internal capacity, this modular cold room provides substantial space for organised stock management without requiring permanent construction.

Installed using insulated cold room panels, the unit is assembled directly on site to create a sealed refrigerator room tailored to your operational footprint. Unlike mobile refrigerated trailers, this walk in cold room becomes a defined storage zone within your premises, supporting structured shelving and clear workflow patterns.

With an adjustable temperature range of 0°C to +10°C, this 2.4m x 7.2m cold room functions as a commercial walk in fridge or walk in chiller, maintaining stable chilled conditions for bulk food, beverage or temperature-sensitive products.

Internal layout and structural features

The extended 7.2 metre length creates a noticeably larger internal working environment compared with smaller walk in fridges. This makes the 2.4m x 7.2m cold room particularly suitable where zoning, categorisation and separation of stock are important.

The interior includes:

• Stainless steel flooring
• Internal LED lighting for full visibility
• Standard access door with lock and internal escape lever

All cold room panels for this 2.4m x 7.2m walk-in fridge rental unit are thoroughly cleaned before each installation, ensuring hygienic conditions from day one. The insulated structure supports efficient temperature retention, contributing to consistent cold room refrigeration performance throughout the hire period.

Optional extras such as PVC chill strips, python holes, ramp access, internal shelving and pallet door configurations can be incorporated where operational flow requires it.

Refrigeration system and power requirements

Temperature control within the 2.4m x 7.2m cold room is managed by a commercial cold room chiller unit fitted with a digital control panel. This allows precise temperature setting within the 0°C to +10°C operating range.

Once installed and powered, the unit typically requires 1–2 hours to reach the desired temperature when empty.

Power options include:

• 16A ‘C’ Form single phase
• Portable generator (minimum 6Kva to operate the unit)

A suitable power source must be available within 3 metres of the final installation position. If the correct supply is not present at the time of assembly, the cold room chiller unit cannot be commissioned.

This temporary 2.4m x 7.2m cold room can be installed indoors or outdoors and is ideal for both short term and long term refrigeration solutions across the UK. Where positioned internally, adequate ventilation must be provided to allow expelled warm air from the refrigeration system to dissipate. The motor is designed to operate efficiently in ambient temperatures up to 28°C.

Modular installation and operational flexibility

As a modular cold room, this unit is delivered in panel form and assembled on site by experienced cold room installers. This approach allows installation in areas where access restrictions would prevent delivery of pre-built units.

The 2.4m x 7.2m cold room provides an alternative to permanent industrial cold room construction when temporary expansion is required. Businesses evaluating cold room hire, cold room rental or walk in fridge rental options benefit from a high-capacity solution without long-term structural commitment.

For organisations requiring dependable cold room storage across cold rooms UK, this model combines significant internal volume with professional installation and ongoing support.
