40ft Meat Rail Cold Stores

Designed for hanging meat storage

The overhead rail and hook configuration lets carcasses and other suitable meat products be stored hanging, in a controlled refrigerated environment. It gives slaughterhouses, meat processors and other food businesses dedicated hanging capacity, subject to their own hygiene and process requirements. See our wider range of commercial cold storage for the meat industry.

Hygiene, access and monitoring

Temperature-controlled storage is one part of a food safety plan, not a HACCP plan in itself. Our HACCP cold storage guidance explains how refrigerated storage fits into your procedures. The internal finish, cleaning arrangements and temperature monitoring for your unit are confirmed during specification.

Where you need additional access doors or a tailored layout, we can provide custom cold storage configuration.

Hire, lease or purchase

New and refurbished meat rail cold stores are available to hire, lease or purchase, and we specialise in long-term hire of premium cold storage. Units are delivered directly to your site.

The portable format gives you extra hanging meat capacity without building a permanent cold store. Unit availability, hire terms and delivery are confirmed at quotation, so contact our team or call 0800 085 2298 for a free, no obligation quote.

Meat rail cold store versus standard cold room

A meat rail cold store is fitted with an overhead rail and hooks designed for hanging product such as carcasses. A standard cold room is usually configured for racking, shelving or palletised stock. If your meat is boxed or palletised rather than hung, a meat cold room may be a better fit.

Who uses a meat rail cold store?

Meat rail cold stores suit meat manufacturers and distributors handling large meat products or speciality meats, as well as slaughterhouses and local farmers. Businesses typically bring one in for extra hanging capacity at busy times, while a permanent facility is out of action, or as a long-term alternative to building one.

If you need to mature meat rather than store it hanging, see our dry ageing and carcass chilling solutions.

Site and electrical requirements

Units are delivered directly to your site, so delivery access and positioning for the 40ft unit need to be planned before installation. The electrical supply is set out in the product specification above, and site access, positioning and electrical requirements are confirmed with you before delivery.
