Size Considerations

The volume of temperature-sensitive goods you need to keep and the space available on site are among the most important factors to consider when finding the right cold storage unit. Birkmire’s units are available in 12’ and 20’ variations. Each 12’ unit is equipped with a 120 VAC electric generator while our 20’ units can be operated using diesel or electric generators. You can rent as many or as few units of either size based on your size requirements and potential for expansion. When you work with our team, our experts will help you determine the best size and number of units necessary for the volume of goods you need to keep temperature controlled.

Long-Term vs Short-Term

If you plan on implementing cold storage units for a long period, consider the potential for growth in the future. Opt for a larger space than you may initially need, especially for commercial warehousing applications to leave room for expansion. If you need something short-term, such as cold storage for Valentine’s Day flowers or an outdoor event, search for the space you immediately need in a storage unit.

Temperature Requirements

Birkmire cold storage units have variable temperature settings with the option to go down to zero degrees. We offer freezer and refrigerator units for rent, lease, or purchase. This variation is especially beneficial for the restaurant industry if a cooler or refrigerator malfunctions. By using one of our mobile cooling units, your perishable food won’t spoil while your refrigerator is undergoing repairs. Plus, our units can be outfitted with various shelving options for storing food. With adequate organization, maintaining safety requirements such as storing cooked food away from raw food is easy.

Portability

Portable cold storage units can be essential in emergencies like malfunctioning refrigerators, but they also offer convenient solutions for outdoor events. Birkmire’s units are easily portable, and our team will take care of transportation completely. We can drop off the unit(s) at the location of your choosing, and then pick them back up when you are finished. This is particularly useful for holidays such as florists storing extra flowers around Valentine’s Day.

Security

Mobile cold storage unit security considerations include enhanced weather resistance and door security. Birkmire’s mobile refrigerator and freezer units are made from heavy-duty materials that can withstand the elements across any season. Additionally, our units can lock securely keeping out trespassers during multi-day events or general outdoor storage.

Industry Applications

Mobile cold storage units can benefit multiple industries apart from the standard restaurants, bars, and food distribution. Sensitive equipment like certain pharmaceuticals has to be stored at specific temperatures, so a cold storage unit could be ideal for a pop-up clinic or vaccination event. Additionally, some mechanical equipment like vehicle parts and cameras must be temperature controlled, especially during hot days. Work with Birkmire, and we will find the right size and temperature requirements based on your intended end use. For example, we can get you a refrigerated unit for sensitive equipment rather than a freezer unit that may be more appropriate for frozen desserts at an outdoor event.
