Portable cold storage refrigeration units come in a wide range of size and specification. Typically they range in size from 10 to 40 and may be in the form of either a ground unit or trailer mounted. Modern units are both quiet and environmentally friendly, and additionally only use ozone free refrigeration techniques. Newly built units tend to be more energy efficient than their older counterparts and many of the units are manufactured from stainless steel which has the benefit of being easy to keep clean. Some of the larger units have strengthened floors to enable the use of fork lifts, were necessary.

Capable of refrigeration to temperatures as low as -30 C they have a wide range of applications. They can be used for maintaining temperature for products such as hard ice-cream, meat, fresh produce, drinks and may even be used in the medical industry for cooling blood products. Units must be maintained to a high standard in order to meet the appropriate, and numerous, health and safety regulations relating to its specific use and function. If the unit is hired, one could reasonably expect it to be inspected before dispatch by a trained and qualified specialist. A thorough inspection is required to ensure full health and safety compliance on behalf of the operating contractor.

Portable cold storage units are commonly used by a variety of industries including supermarkets, fast food chains, caterers, exhibitors and so forth. They can be positioned either indoors or out and have the facility to run off direct power or generator, as required by the customer. Obviously for outdoor events, such as rock concerts, this facility of being self contained is more likely to be essential rather than desirable. One of the great assets of portable units is in their flexibility. The need for cold storage, particularly given the frequent weather changes in the UK, can often fluctuate. Tying to second guess the highs and lows of consumer demand or the seasonally needs of the holiday season is never easy. With this in mind, a temporary solution, such as the hiring or leasing of a facility, may at times prove to be the most practical.

If a short term solution is in fact required there are a large number of companies with in both the UK and Ireland to cater for most cold storage requirements. Most companies will offer both short and long term rental agreements. It is not unusual for companies to offer hire from as little as a day to as much as a year and over. Delivery from both UK and Irish firms are normally to within any UK address. Along with delivery, if the customer requires, on site maintenance can also be supplied. This is also the case with companies operating from Ireland. Finally, cost is also a consideration for any business, particularly during a difficult economic trading period, as we are currently in. With this in mind, when looking for the best possible price, it s worth checking the many companies in Ireland, as they are currently highly competitive within this particular market.
