Introducing our most popular cold storage container
Need extra cold storage onsite without building a permanent cold room? We rent 20ft refrigerated containers for portable, temperature-controlled business storage across America and Canada.
20ft is our most popular size, because it has a “just right” feel. It gives you lots of cold storage without taking up too much space in your yard.
TITAN’s 20ft refrigerated container rental helps you add capacity whenever you need it. Our cold storage units come from TITAN’s popular ArcticStore collection, used worldwide by brands such as Coca-Cola and Sonoco. Smaller businesses rent from us, too.
Availability varies by location. Please include your delivery ZIP code when you request a quote
Add cold storage capacity without permanent construction
A 20ft refrigerated container gives your business reliable cold storage without a fixed build-out. Installing them rarely requires major changes to your premises. They are ideal when your existing cold room is full, out of action or too far from where your team is currently working.
Plus, there’s no large capital expenditure. Renting gives you flexibility to add more units or reduce capacity as you go. Just pick a site in your warehouse and yard, and start chilling.
Our 20ft refrigerated container rental is a practical choice when a 40ft unit is more than you need. You get useful cold storage capacity in a smaller footprint, with rental terms that match your business. Clients rent our 20-footers for:
- Temporary storage – such as when you have a sudden spike in demand.
- Seasonal storage – including Christmas and summer.
- Project-based storage – music festivals, construction sites or field testing, for example.
- Long-term storage – many customers rent ArcticStores from TITAN on an ongoing basis.
A 20ft reefer container is suitable for all kinds of chilled or frozen goods, and delivers temperatures from -40°C to +45°C (-40°F to +113°F). If you’re new to cold storage, talk to our team. We can discuss your location, timing, site access and intended use before you commit.
And if you’re comparing sizes, our refrigerated container rentals range from 10ft and 20ft to 40ft.

Where a 20ft refrigerated container works well
A 20ft cold storage container is the ideal choice when you need extra capacity, and a 40ft unit would be too big. With an internal space measuring over 1,000 cubic feet, our 20ft ArcticStores are great for:
- Emergency backup: add cold storage while equipment is repaired, replaced or serviced.
- Inventory peaks: handle high demand, production runs or temporary buying cycles.
- Events and catering: keep temperature-sensitive stock close to prep areas, service points or event operations.
- Retail, logistics, industrial and testing work: get reliable temperature control for project overflow, stock rotation, temporary sites or material handling.
Some of our most regular customers are food and beverage buyers. We offer a range of cold storage options that meet their needs.
TITAN also supports cold chain logistics specialists, public services (such as hospitals), wineries, farms and many other businesses with commercial cold storage needs.

Why rent from us
Companies across North America rely on TITAN for cold storage rentals. We operate 40+ reefer rental yards in the US and Canada and have thousands of containers ready for delivery.
Our wide network helps customers source cold storage from a yard near them – reducing delivery costs. Local availability varies, so we’ll confirm the most suitable option when we provide your quote.
TITAN’s ever-popular ArcticStore collection covers all bases – from extreme low-temperature ultra-freezing to heated storage. We’ll help you match the unit to your site, stock and operations – and if a standard 20ft freezer container is not the best fit, we’ll talk you through other options.
Practical setup and planning tips
A good rental starts with a clear site plan. You don’t need every detail solved before contacting us, but these points will help speed things up:
- Choose level, stable ground. This is a must-have. Think also about daily access.
- Keep the delivery route clear. For a smooth delivery, make sure there will be no issues with gates, parked vehicles, turns or overhead obstacles.
- Allow working space around the container doors. Your team needs room for loading, unloading and other daily tasks. Have you left room for carts and forklifts?
- Plan the power supply early. We can explain what needs to be ready onsite so you can start chilling immediately.
- Consider airflow and sun exposure. Containers need a few feet of clearance from walls to work at their best. Shade from the sun can help reduce running costs.
