3.6m x 6.0m Cold Room

3.6m x 6.0m cold room for major chilled storage capacity

A 3.6m x 6.0m cold room is a large-format modular walk-in refrigeration solution, designed for businesses that need significant chilled storage on a temporary, semi-permanent or project-based basis. With approximately 39.3 cubic metres, or 1388 cubic feet, of internal capacity, this cold room provides a substantial refrigerated environment for storing food, drinks, ingredients and other temperature-sensitive stock.

This 3.6m x 6.0m cold room is built on site using insulated modular panels, creating a fixed-position walk in fridge room without the need for permanent construction. Its extended 6.0m length gives operators more usable space for stock separation, internal access routes and organised storage, making it a strong choice for high-volume commercial refrigeration requirements.

Businesses often choose this model when smaller temporary cold rooms cannot provide enough capacity. It can support event catering, food production, retail overflow, hotel and hospitality operations, festival back-of-house areas, emergency breakdown cover, kitchen refurbishment projects and seasonal trading peaks.

Why hire a 3.6m x 6.0m cold room?

Hiring a 3.6m x 6.0m cold room gives businesses access to a high-capacity commercial walk in chiller without committing to building a permanent cold room. This can be particularly valuable when extra refrigeration is needed for a limited time, or when an existing chilled storage area is being repaired, replaced or exceeded.

The 39.3m³ capacity makes this unit suitable for larger volumes of chilled stock, while its modular construction means it can be installed in a wide range of suitable locations. Once assembled, the cold room creates a structured refrigerated space where teams can organise products by type, date, use, supplier or service area.

The cold room operates within an adjustable chilled temperature range of 0°C to +10°C, allowing it to function as a temporary walk in fridge or commercial walk in chiller. A digital control system enables accurate temperature setting, helping maintain stable storage conditions once the unit has been commissioned.

Capacity and layout benefits

The 3.6m x 6.0m cold room is well suited to operations that need both volume and accessibility. Its longer footprint allows stock to be arranged in runs, zones or shelving sections, helping staff locate items quickly during busy trading periods.

For caterers and event operators, this can mean separating ingredients, prepared food, drinks and service stock. For food retailers and wholesalers, it can provide overflow space for chilled deliveries, temporary stock increases or promotional demand. For production environments, it can act as a temporary holding area when workflows or storage requirements change.

The cold room includes stainless steel flooring, internal LED lighting and a standard lockable access door with an internal escape lever. These features support safe, hygienic and practical use throughout the hire period. All panels are thoroughly cleaned before installation, so the room is ready for commercial use once assembled and powered.

Installation requirements and optional extras

This 3.6m x 6.0m cold room is delivered in panel form and professionally assembled on site. Because it is modular, it can be installed in areas where a pre-built refrigerated unit may be difficult to position, provided there is sufficient space, suitable access and a flat, stable surface.

The unit can be installed indoors or outdoors. Indoor installations require adequate ventilation because the refrigeration system expels warm air while cooling the internal space. Good airflow around the motor is important for efficient operation, especially where the cold room will be used intensively or in warmer ambient conditions.

A suitable power source must be available within 3 metres of the final installation position. The unit typically requires a 16A ‘C’ Form single-phase supply, or a portable generator rated at a minimum of 6kVA. Once connected and commissioned, an empty cold room will usually take around 1–2 hours to pull down to the selected chilled temperature, depending on surrounding conditions.

Optional extras can be added to match operational needs. These may include PVC chill strips to reduce cold air loss, internal shelving for organised storage, ramp access for easier stock movement, python holes for drinks systems and pallet door options where larger goods need to be moved in and out.
