Laboratory cold storage rental – with room to work
Add secure, walk-in, temperature-controlled capacity for research materials, reagents and samples without waiting for permanent construction. Renting provides cost-effective planned storage space or contingency backup – with fast delivery worldwide.
Capacity for changing research programs
Laboratory storage requirements can be hard to pin down in advance. When funding comes in, or trials move onto a new phase, projects spring into action and sample volumes can spike. Demand can increase faster than your build schedule – or budget – allows. Lab work often needs secure cold space – either to store research materials or to work in. A rented walk-in container from TITAN covers both. With internal LED lighting, emergency escape hatches and trapped person alarms, they enable your teams to work anywhere around the clock. Our refrigerated containers are also a fast, portable solution during lab refurbishments. Without reliable backup, existing cold room capacity can be down for months. We help laboratories add a self-contained cold room on site, then scale or remove it as requirements change. Our containers support research organizations, hospital laboratories, biotechnology teams, universities, contract facilities and manufacturing labs. Your protocol defines the size, temperature, monitoring and access controls. We use that information to guide you to the right units and ensure quick delivery. Here’s how we help:
- Project growth: add storage for a new study or a larger sample set.
- Equipment replacement: lab freezer rental protects continuity while permanent cold rooms are upgraded.
- Batch separation: create dedicated space for materials, programs or retention samples.
- Contingency: establish alternative capacity before a critical failure occurs – potentially costing you decades of research.

Match your portable lab cold room to the material specification
Laboratory work covers all temperatures, from controlled ambient and refrigerated to frozen and ultra-low requirements. Our cold storage collection covers temperatures from -75°C to +45°C, depending on the model.
- ArcticStore: a 10ft, 20ft or 40ft walk-in unit with a -40°C to +45°C range. Suits most chilled and frozen applications.
- Arctic UltraFreezer: a 20ft or 40ft specialist unit operating from -75°C to -10°C for materials requiring temperatures below conventional freezer conditions. Many vaccine storage programs operate within these levels.
- Arctic SuperStore: a modular open-plan room created from compatible units when a laboratory needs more capacity or separate temperature bays. Made to order, these can reach sizes of 8,000 square feet or more.
When requesting a quote for a laboratory freezer rental, tell us about acceptable limits and load profiles. We’ll use that information to recommend the most suitable model and avoid oversizing or under-specifying the installation.
Renting keeps your facility adaptable
Building a permanent laboratory cold room ties up capital and floor space. Add construction delays – plus the real cost of under- or oversizing – and renting temperature-controlled lab space on an as-needed basis makes sense. Install the capacity you need for the current program, keep it as long as required – and revisit your options (add, return, downsize) as your portfolio changes. Our flexible terms cover both short-term projects and ongoing programs. Our expert team maintains all units under the rental agreement, so you don’t need to arrange a separate maintenance contract.
Plan power, access and operating controls
Research cold storage needs more than an empty patch of ground: think about access, contamination control and security when ordering. Before delivery, we’ll review your proposed positioning, power and delivery route. Your team should also consider how the unit fits the site’s material-handling and emergency procedures.
- Electrical supply: confirm the correct connection and any site resilience requirements.
- Surface: provide a level, load-bearing position with suitable drainage and protection from weather risks.
- Access: plan delivery clearance, staff entry, carts, racks and any controlled-access boundary.
- Qualification: arrange validation, mapping, calibration and release with your quality team before use.
How we make a difference
Real solutions for real challenges across different industries.
Check unit performance around the clock
Almost all our units come with SmartArctic remote monitoring pre-installed. Authorized users can view container temperatures 24/7, set alarms, download data and use remote diagnostics. SmartArctic gives facilities and quality teams a shared operational record of the unit. Use it alongside your validated monitoring system, calibrated data loggers and study documentation to make reviews and investigations more efficient.

Make qualification easier to plan
Lab work comes with a unique set of requirements, which TITAN has learned through experience. Our insight into model specifications, operating information and container support means you can bring quality, facilities and research stakeholders into equipment selection early. It helps you plan the empty-room and loaded conditions that matter to the protocol. There’s plenty to think about, including rack geometry, sample density, door openings, recovery expectations and any backup power or monitoring requirements. Remember: external size alone can’t determine usable scientific capacity, especially if you’re doing work inside the unit. We’ll help you pick the best model for your needs.
And build in your guardrails
We also suggest assigning named roles for access, alarm review, deviation handling and emergency transfer. If your rented unit supports more than one research group, you should also agree on how space and records are separated. Clear ownership protects the samples and prevents a temporary room from becoming a shared freezer with no oversight. Tell us your box, rack and shelf dimensions, your access frequency and your maximum simultaneous load. We’ll plan enough circulation and working space. If you need zoning for separate access permissions or incompatible programs, flag it early.
Tailored cold storage for demanding industries
Meet every regulation and deadline with risk-proof containers – monitored, validated and supported around the clock.
Why rent a refrigerated container from TITAN?
Most of our research clients choose to rent from us rather than buy their cold storage containers – though we also sell cold storage walk-in containers if that suits your long-term plans. The benefits of lab refrigeration rental from TITAN include:
Maximum uptime – all ArcticStores are backed up by 24/7 breakdown assistance during your rental period.
Flexibility – if your needs change, you can increase or reduce your cold storage capacity. This ability to quickly adapt also helps reduce exposure to unforeseen risk.
The latest tech – our flexible rental model means research clients can benefit from new developments without delay. Switching from a purchased model to the latest version because it is more efficient or has improved technology can be costly.
Reduced financial outlay – no major capital expenditure up front. Just a predictable monthly cost.
No long-term commitment – most clients scale their requirements according to their activities. No sense in buying cold storage lab space today that you may not need tomorrow.
