Grocery store cold storage rental

Protect your sales when the back room is full

Convenience and grocery stores need enough cold space before deliveries arrive, not after shelves and walk-ins are already packed. Holiday ranges, promotions, store openings and equipment work can all create a temporary gap between inventory and capacity. TITAN has been providing grocery store refrigeration for around two decades. We place portable refrigerated containers at your grocery store, distribution point or supermarket – and there’s no need for a long-term tie-in. Your extra space can handle chilled or frozen stock in line with your food-safety procedures – and lets you keep your permanent walk-in free for fast-moving daily picks. Our units support:

• Promotional inventory: receive volume buys without crowding the primary cooler. Rented cooler units quickly boost your overflow capacity.
• Remodels: maintain cold capacity while cases, floors or back rooms are replaced.
• New stores: bridge commissioning delays and opening-week demand.
• Breakdowns: create replacement space while permanent refrigeration is repaired. Our units also support contingency planning.

Keep customers, trucks and staff moving safely

Grocery stores are busy and often compact. So you need a suitable position that works for delivery and collection without blocking customer parking, fire routes, waste handling or routine supplier access. Before ordering, consider:

• Power: confirm the correct supply and protect the cable route from vehicles and pedestrians.
• Surface: use a level, load-bearing area with suitable drainage.
• Delivery access: provide clear turning and placement space for the truck.
• Staff route: plan doors, lighting, carts, pallets, ramps and safe access during every shift.
• Neighbors: consider equipment noise, door activity and local site restrictions.

Share a site plan or photographs with us as soon as possible. We can identify common access issues before they affect the installation.

Maximizing your grocery cold storage

We have grocery clients worldwide (including Great Britain’s largest supermarket chain) and have picked up plenty of tips along the way. You know how to run your business; we help you get the most out of your rented walk-in cooler.

• Emergency transfers: identify priority stock and the staff, carts and checks you’ll need to move it. For a remodel, map how supplier deliveries and store picks will use the temporary cold space during each phase.
• Day-to-day: include the unit in routine cleaning, stock rotation and alarm procedures. Regional managers can review SmartArctic data, while the store team remains responsible for physical product checks and food-safety records. For multi-store businesses, use a consistent naming and alarm-response plan. It helps regional teams compare sites without losing local accountability.
• Size capacity for the busiest delivery and picking period: count full cases, carts or pallets, then plan for safe access and airflow. If chilled and frozen deliveries peak together, separate units can stop one group from displacing the other. Also factor returns, damaged stock and temporary holds into your plans.
