2.4m x 3.6m Cold Room

What is a 2.4m x 3.6m cold room?

A 2.4m x 3.6m cold room is a modular, walk-in chilled storage solution designed to provide substantial internal capacity in a fixed, assembled-on-site structure. With dimensions of 2.4 metres in width and 3.6 metres in length, this cold room delivers approximately 15.5m³ (555ft³) of usable internal space, making it suitable for operations that require more than a compact fridge room layout.

Unlike mobile refrigerated trailers, this temporary walk in cold room is constructed in position using insulated cold room panels, creating a sealed and temperature-controlled cold storage room tailored to your available footprint. The adjustable operating range of 0°C to +10°C allows the unit to function as a walk in chiller, supporting chilled food, beverage and temperature-sensitive stock storage.

Often referred to as a commercial walk in fridge or industrial walk in fridge, this configuration provides full internal access, allowing shelving layouts and stock organisation that smaller portable units cannot accommodate.

Cold room panels, refrigeration system and internal specification

The structure of the 2.4m x 3.6m cold room is formed using high-performance cold room panels designed to maintain stable internal temperatures. All panels are thoroughly cleaned prior to each hire. The floor features a stainless steel floor, supporting safe movement of staff and goods inside the cold room storage area.

Temperature control is managed by a commercial cold room chiller unit equipped with a digital control panel. This integrated cold room refrigeration system ensures accurate adjustment across the full 0°C to +10°C range.

When empty, the unit typically requires between 1–2 hours to reach operating temperature. Power options include:

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

A suitable power source must be available within 3 metres of the installation position. If correct power is not present, the cold room chiller unit cannot be commissioned. This requirement ensures consistent and compliant cold room refrigeration performance.

The 2.4m x 3.6m cold room is perfect for both short term and long term hire and can be installed indoors or outdoors. When positioned internally, adequate ventilation must be provided to allow warm air expelled from the refrigeration system to dissipate. The motor operates effectively up to a maximum external ambient temperature of 28°C.

Internal LED lighting and a lockable door with internal escape lever are included as standard. Optional features to accompany this 2.4m x 3.6m cold room rental such as PVC chill strips, python holes, ramp access and pallet door configurations are available upon request.

A larger modular walk-in chiller room for structured chilled storage

With its extended 3.6m length, this modular cold room provides greater storage flexibility than smaller walk in fridges. The increased internal depth allows for more structured shelving arrangements, improved stock separation and easier product access.

As a temporary cold room solution, it offers a practical alternative to permanent construction when additional capacity is required for a defined period. Businesses comparing cold room rental, cold room hire or walk in fridge rental options benefit from the balance of volume and on-site assembly flexibility this model provides.

Because the 2.4m x 3.6m cold room is assembled in place by experienced cold room installers, it can be positioned in areas where pre-built units may not fit through access points. This makes it a practical choice for organisations seeking refrigerated cold rooms without long-term structural commitment.
