Specialist cold storage for non-standard requirements
Specialist cold storage is designed around requirements such as unusual site constraints, non-standard access, product handling, multiple temperature zones or process-specific temperature control. Coolworld can help identify whether a standard refrigerated container, a specialist product or a bespoke configuration is the most practical solution for the application.
Bespoke configuration and support
Where a standard specification is not suitable, Coolworld can configure temperature-controlled storage around the required temperatures, stock volumes, access points, workflow and site conditions. Depending on the project, options can include specialist flooring and lighting, ramps and curtains, multiple access doors, separate chambers and custom external finishes. For more complex projects, our custom build refrigeration service can provide a solution designed around specific site and operational requirements. All final specifications should be confirmed by the Coolworld engineering team before supply.

FAQs
What is specialist cold storage?
Specialist cold storage is temperature-controlled storage configured for requirements that cannot be met by a standard refrigerated container or cold room, such as unusual access, multiple chambers, hanging meat storage, controlled thawing or application-specific internal fittings.
Can specialist cold stores be customised?
Yes. Coolworld can configure specialist storage around the required temperature, stock volume, access and site constraints. Options can include specialist flooring and lighting, ramps, curtains, multiple doors, separate chambers and custom finishes, subject to engineering review.
Can specialist cold storage be hired as well as purchased?
Coolworld offers hire, lease and purchase options across parts of its cold storage range. Availability depends on the specialist solution and required configuration, so the commercial model should be confirmed during specification.
Which industries use specialist cold storage?
Specialist cold storage is used where products or processes need more than standard refrigerated storage. Relevant Coolworld applications include food production, meat processing, logistics and other commercial operations that require controlled temperatures, specialist access or non-standard layouts.
How do I know which specialist cold storage solution I need?
Start with the target temperature, product type, stock volume, access requirements, site space and length of use. Coolworld can then recommend a standard specialist product or a bespoke configuration based on those requirements.
