Add urgent freezer capacity without building new cold storage

When your existing cold storage setup breaks down, there’s no time to waste. You need urgent cold storage – and TITAN’s portable ArcticStore containers are the answer.

Not only can we provide cold storage rental units exactly where they are needed, but we can get them up and running in no time. 

No construction project. No permanent build-out. No last-minute switch to off-site storage.

Temporary freezer capacity helps protect stock while your team keeps working. It suits breakdown cover, sudden deliveries, promotions, refits and short-notice projects. And all without the major capital spend.

Our refrigerated container rentals ensure easy on-site access to chilled and frozen stock. We work with customers across the UK and Ireland in food and beverage, retail, events/catering, public health, pharmaceuticals and cold chain logistics every day.

Temporary Cold Storage for Pet Food 3

Why businesses rent emergency freezer space

Most urgent calls start with the same goal: keep products cold, close and ready to move. Choosing the right unit depends on what has happened, what you store and how long you need backup cover.

  • Walk-in freezer or cold room breakdowns: add temporary frozen storage while your main equipment is inspected, repaired or replaced.
  • Seasonal spikes and promotions: quickly add chilled or frozen capacity during holidays, campaigns, peak ordering or large inbound deliveries.
  • Events, catering and temporary operations: place cold storage near prep areas, service points or temporary kitchens.
  • Refits and upgrades: keep stock on-site while stores, warehouses, kitchens or cold rooms are being updated.

Every rental is different. Some clients need emergency refrigeration rental after a major fault. Others have carefully planned their capacity, but need more space when demand changes.

Practical setup tips before delivery

A clear setup plan helps your rental work smoothly from the first load. These top tips from the TITAN team will help reduce delays and make daily use easier.

  • Choose level ground. A stable, level position helps your emergency refrigeration rental unit sit properly and ensures safe access for staff.
  • Keep access clear. Think about the delivery route, forklifts, pallet jacks and daily loading.
  • Plan the door position. Check door swing, picking routes, loading flow and how the unit supports your main operations.
  • Check power early. Site power should be reviewed before delivery. Ask us to confirm what’s needed for the units you want to rent.
  • Allow airflow where possible. Avoid the hottest exposed spot if you have a better option, and leave space around the unit for ventilation.

If timing is tight, check out our delivery and placement planning information. It will help you prepare your site before the unit arrives.
