Racking for Cold Storage & Temperature-Controlled Warehouses

Cold storage requires more than just pallet positions it demands durable, space-efficient racking that holds up in extreme temperatures and meets strict food safety and compliance standards. IMH designs racking systems for freezers, coolers, and temperature-controlled facilities that maximize cubic space and minimize maintenance.

Warehouse Layout Design & Planning

Cold storage warehouse layout with racking designed for freezers and temperature-controlled inventory zones

We design high-density layouts for refrigerated and frozen environments, factoring in air circulation, forklift maneuverability, and maximum vertical storage.

In-Stock Inventory & Custom Orders

Our racking is built to perform in low temperatures with special coatings and galvanized options. We stock common sizes and can quickly source or fabricate custom components as needed

Permits & Professional Installation

Cold storage builds often involve stricter fire code, seismic, and clearance requirements we handle the permitting and installation with safety, speed, and compliance top of mind.

Built for Freezers, Coolers & Temperature Zones

Unlike dry warehouses, cold storage facilities face unique challenges limited floor space, and the constant cost of cooling. We design racking systems that make the most of every cubic foot, using double deep pallet racks, drive-in racking or push back racks based on your product volume and rotation needs.

For fast-moving SKUs or case picking, we incorporate pallet flow or carton flow racking. For bulk storage, we use deep-lane designs like drive-in or push-back racking to reduce aisles and concentrate inventory.

We also plan traffic flow around refrigeration units, entry doors, and dock staging to limit temperature fluctuations and protect product integrity during pick and load.

Engineered to Withstand Harsh Environments

Cold environments can wear down ordinary racking quickly. That’s why we offer materials and finishes specifically made for cold storage, including galvanized uprights, corrosion-resistant hardware, and high-impact protection around high-traffic zones.

All our cold storage systems are compatible with reach trucks, turret trucks, and pallet jacks, and are installed using crews experienced with freezer conditions. We’ll work with your refrigeration contractor and ensure your layout supports consistent airflow, humidity control, and ease of cleaning.

Whether you’re operating a single walk-in cooler or a 100,000 sq ft freezer facility, we’ll provide a racking system that holds up under pressure.
