Cold storage facilities require equipment and process flow designs that maximize material handling efficiencies more than any other industry due to the required quick response times for inbound and outbound products. Temperature-controlled environments depend on critical operational planning to ensure the quality and safety of perishable products throughout the entire supply chain. Additionally, operational planning also has to consider the increased risk for equipment damage, either forklift, conveyors, or racking, which could result in system downtime or workplace injuries. 

Cold storage warehouses require temperatures that are below freezing and depend on the ability of your warehouse equipment and materials to withstand the cold temperature standards. Roll-formed steel can be a more economical option but can degrade quickly in cold temperatures. Structural steel has quickly become the industry standard for material handling systems in cold storage facilities due to its durability against harsh freezer conditions and resistance to susceptible forklift damage. Warehousing space in a refrigerated warehouse is highly valuable, so we want to help you utilize the space most effectively by increasing productivity, efficiency, safety, and reliability.
