2.4m x 4.8m Cold Room

What is a 2.4m x 4.8m cold room?

A temporary 2.4m x 4.8m cold room is a large-capacity modular cold room designed to deliver substantial walk-in chilled storage in a fixed, assembled-on-site format. With a footprint of 2.4 metres in width and 4.8 metres in length, this cold storage room provides approximately 21m³ (740ft³) of internal volume, making it one of the higher-capacity walk in cold rooms within our range.

Unlike mobile refrigerated trailers, this unit is constructed in position using insulated cold room panels, forming a sealed and temperature-controlled refrigerator room tailored to your site. The extended 4.8m length allows for more structured internal shelving layouts and greater stock separation than smaller walk in fridges.

Operating within an adjustable temperature range of 0°C to +10°C, the 2.4m x 4.8m cold room functions as a commercial walk in fridge or walk in chiller, providing stable chilled conditions for food, beverages and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Cold room construction and refrigeration performance

The 2.4m x 4.8m cold room is assembled using high-performance insulated cold room panels, creating a hygienic and thermally efficient enclosure. All panels are thoroughly cleaned prior to each hire. The interior includes a stainless steel floor, supporting safe staff access and movement of stock within the cold room storage area.

Cooling is delivered by a commercial cold room chiller unit equipped with a digital temperature control panel. This integrated cold room refrigeration system allows precise monitoring and adjustment across the full 0°C to +10°C operating range.

When empty, the cold room typically requires 1–2 hours to achieve the desired temperature. Power supply 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 location. If the required supply is not present, the cold room chiller unit cannot be commissioned. This ensures safe and stable operation of the cold room refrigeration system.

The 2.4m x 4.8m cold room can be positioned indoors or outdoors. If installed inside a building, adequate ventilation must be provided to allow expelled warm air from the walk-in fridge chiller unit to dissipate effectively. The refrigeration motor operates efficiently up to a maximum ambient temperature of 28°C.

Internal LED lighting and a lockable door with internal escape lever are included as standard. PVC chill strips and python holes are available upon request, while ramp access, internal shelving and pallet door configurations can be supplied as optional extras at additional cost.

A high-capacity modular cold room for organised storage

With 21m³ of internal volume, the 2.4m x 4.8m cold room offers significantly more space than compact portable cold room solutions. The increased floor area makes it suitable for structured shelving, palletised stock (with optional pallet door access) and improved workflow inside the walk in chiller room.

As a modular cold room, it is assembled on site by experienced cold room installers, allowing installation in areas where pre-built units would not fit. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for businesses requiring temporary cold room expansion without permanent construction.

Organisations comparing cold room rental, cold room hire or walk in fridge rental options benefit from the balance of volume and installation flexibility this model provides. For those searching for cold rooms UK solutions or a reliable cold room supplier, the 2.4m x 4.8m cold room offers industrial cold room capacity with short-term commitment.
