Warehousing & Distribution Cold Storage Solutions
Warehousing and distribution rely on efficient logistics, storage systems, and automation to transport and process high volumes of product. To streamline operations and maintain the cold chain, this often involves cold rooms, high-speed doors, and refrigeration systems.
For cold storage solutions for the warehousing and distribution industry, from temperature-controlled rooms to high-speed rapid rise doors, MTCSS can help.
Cold Room Solutions for Warehousing & Distribution by MTCSS
For the right temperature-controlled solution to help improve your processes, warehouses and distribution centres may require a walk-in chiller, walk in freezer, an ambient area, or accessories, like a high speed door.
Supplying and installing bespoke, temperature-controlled solutions in whatever size or shape you require, or retrofitting your existing space, the team at MTCSS can make the most of the space you have available to utilise the area effectively.
Temperature-controlled spaces can include:
- Ambient, air-conditioned areas
- Freezer cold rooms
- Fridge cold rooms
Freezer cold rooms, also referred to as walk in freezers, are built from freezer-specific PIR cold room panels to provide second-to-none insulation for storage temperatures from -1°C to -40°C.
Designed and crafted from cold room panels 100mm thickness and above, these high-performance walls and ceiling panels ensure:
- Highly energy-efficient temperature control
- Protected products
- Reduced spoilage and product loss
We can supply and install freezer cold rooms, specifically taking into consideration every aspect of your cold storage needs, including the type of flooring you require, which freezer cold room doors and access is required, LED lighting, refrigeration unit types, and more.
Chiller cold rooms, also known as walk-in cold rooms, are designed to maintain temperatures between +1°C and +8°C, and can be installed in your warehouse or distribution centre as a single or multi-compartment cold room, or we can retrofit your existing areas by cladding them with cold room panels.
Designed to keep food products, industrial components, or even pharmaceutical products stored safely at the right temperature and maintain any relevant health and safety regulations for your industry.
If you require both a chiller and freezer cold room to store your products, a dual-compartment cold room could help you save on space!
Made up of multiple temperature-controlled spaces, this option gives businesses access to multiple chilling or freezing zones in any combination required, including:
- Two chillers
- Two freezer rooms
- A mix of cooled and frozen temperatures (one of each)
If you need temperature-controlled spaces that need to remain within set parameters but at more pleasant temperatures above +10°C, air-conditioned ambient areas are ideal.
Ideal for a wide variety of needs, including but not limited to the storage and movement of perishable goods, such as:
- Picker packing, loading, and unloading
- Worker safety and comfort
- Regulatory compliance
- Pest control
- Plant rooms
Cold Room Additional Extras
In your warehouse or distribution centre, will there be pedestrians walking in and out or do you cater predominantly to pallet trucks and forklifts?
These elements are important to consider as they will affect your decisions on the cold room doors and the cold room flooring required.
- For those requiring access for pallets and cages – You’ll need a larger door opening and a sliding cold room door may be more beneficial as they can be slid into an open position (and will stay there!)
- For pedestrian access – A hinged door may suffice for your specification
- For regular forklift access – A high speed door may be a more effective solution for your application
While they might seem highly specialised, MTCSS can supply and install high performance high speed rapid rise doors for a variety of applications within the warehousing and distribution industry, including:
- External applications, including humid, corrosive and harsh environments
- Internal applications, including lab doors and food grade doors
- To separate two freezer areas, chilled and ambient areas, or chiller and freezer areas
Our high speed door range also has various automated opening options, including push button, pull cord, remote, and radar – allowing you to choose an opening and closing method which suits your business needs.
Day-to-day usage will also affect your choice of cold room flooring – for example, for pallet access, the storage of heavier products, or a freezer cold room, you will require a reinforced or freezer floor.
If you aren’t sure, MTCSS are happy to advise you on what would best suit your application for productivity and safety if you need help deciding.
Choosing the right cold storage for warehousing
The right storage for warehousing requirements will likely be based on multiple, bespoke factors:
- What temperatures do you need to maintain?
Knowing if you need frozen, chilled, or controlled ambient temperatures based on the storage temperatures of the goods you keep is the single most important thing to consider with warehouse storage.
- How big/heavy is the stock you need to store?
Large quantities or very large goods require larger storage solutions, while smaller deliveries or goods are easier to store in smaller storage areas.
- Do you need to allow for wheeled machinery?
If your team relies on pallets and forklifts to move stock, we need to know. This is because not all storage solutions can withstand such wear and tear without damage, and we need to understand your everyday usage to recommend accessories like cold room doors, floors, and shelving, etc.
Once you know these parameters, the experienced team at MTCSS can design or retrofit a fully bespoke solution for specific temperature control without compromising long-term durability and efficiency.
