An outdoor walk-in cooler is a large refrigerated warehouse usually covered by a metal roof and is designed to store perishable food products and other items that require refrigeration. Walk-in coolers are usually built with extra insulation, UV protection, and a sturdy frame to accommodate the weight of products placed inside. The materials used to make walk-in coolers will depend on their intended use and the climate where they will be installed. Walk-in coolers with refrigeration can be made from various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, carbon steel, cast iron, and fiberglass. The door will have insulation and be vented to keep the heat out. The roof of these coolers can be metal, shingled, or made of a material that will not rust. The floor will be made of a non-slip material. Because of their large size, these units often come with a door opening at least 8 feet tall. They may also come with a loading dock or other access point for ease of use. Common features include digital controls, climate control, and remote monitoring.

Outdoor Walk In Cooler Refrigeration Units
A main consideration when purchasing a walk-in refrigerator is the size of the unit and the available space for installation. Walk in coolers are available from several manufacturers and come in many sizes and configurations. If you require a large amount of cold storage space, then a larger walkin model will be better. Some walk-in cooler models are designed for indoor spaces and others are meant for outdoor installation. If you do not have enough interior space to install a walk-in box, consider an outdoor walk in cooler refrigeration unit.
Outdoor walk-in coolers allow for more storage space with a larger unit and do not have the same concerns for clearance around the walk-in unit. Many models come without a floor, although having a floor increases the efficiency of the unit and allows better control of the compartment's temperature. It is highly recommended that you purchase an outdoor model with a floor.
