Commercial Walk-In Coolers & Fridges

View All Walk-in Coolers

Walk-in coolers and freezers provide huge amounts of storage space for perishable foods. Here you'll find ready-to-ship walk-in cooler models, but we can also work with manufacturers to design custom-built units.

Walk-in Refrigerators

A walk-in refrigerator is one of the most vital pieces of equipment at any foodservice or hospitality venue. Compare indoor and outdoor units to fit any need.

Walk-in Freezers

These units provide a quick and accessible way to store all of your kitchen's frozen ingredients in one secure place.

Walk-in Cooler Condensing Units

Installing the right walk-in cooler condensing unit can help ensure your walk-in operates correctly. Choose from air- and water-cooled condensing units here.

Air Doors

Keep bugs, leaves, debris, and unpleasant drafts away from your guests with a quality air curtain. Air doors are great for high-traffic doorways and walkways.

Plastic Curtain Strip Doors

Keep your walk-in refrigerators cool, energy efficient, and free of harmful pests when the doors are open with convenient strip doors.

Walk-in Cooler Shelving

Walk-in cooler shelving is critical to optimizing your establishment's cold storage space, and keeping stored foods organized and off the floor.

Walk-In Air Purifiers

Walk-in air purifiers kill airborne contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, and mold to keep your cold food storage areas sanitary. Browse our options here.

High-Capacity Walk-In Coolers & Freezers for Industrial Storage

When inventory exceeds the limits of standard reach-ins, a commercial walk-in cooler or freezer provides the scalable, high-volume storage necessary for bulk preservation. Our selection is designed to ensure compliance with modern energy codes, featuring high-density urethane panels that deliver exceptional thermal resistance. From institutional cafeterias to large-scale food manufacturing, KaTom provides the modular cold storage rooms required to maintain strict temperature parameters in any facility layout.

Mechanical Engineering & Configuration Options

Selecting a walk-in unit requires an understanding of the mechanical systems that support your facility's cooling:

Indoor vs. Outdoor Configurations: Outdoor units include reinforced, weather-resistant roofing systems, while indoor models integrate cleanly into existing floor plans
Self-Contained vs. Remote Refrigeration: Choose a self-contained "plug-and-play" system for simplified installation or a remote compressor to relocate heat and noise away from production areas
Insulated Floor Requirements: Some coolers install directly over concrete without a floor, while all freezers require insulated flooring to prevent sub-surface freezing and structural damage
High-Density Urethane Insulation: Panels use CFC-free foam to enhance structural integrity and create a strong thermal barrier that meets EISA efficiency standards

Optimizing Your Cold Storage Workflow

Evaluate these technical specifications to configure a walk-in for efficient operation:

Modular Panel Assembly: Prefabricated panels support faster installation and provide flexibility for expansion or relocation
Air Doors & Strip Curtains: Minimize cold air loss during heavy loading periods
Integrated Safety Releases: Interior glow-in-the-dark safety handles ensure staff can exit the unit at all times
Digital Climate Monitoring: Advanced thermostats provide real-time temperature tracking and high-temp alarms for HACCP compliance

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a professional installer for a walk-in unit?

While prefabricated panels simplify assembly, the final refrigeration connection and electrical wiring should always be handled by a licensed HVAC technician.

How do I determine the right size walk-in for my needs?

Standard sizes range from 6 feet by 6 feet to 10 feet by 10 feet, with custom dimensions are available. Consider your peak inventory levels and leave adequate room for shelving and staff movement.

How do I prevent warm air infiltration?

Using a combination of self-closing hinges, heavy-duty gaskets, and strip curtains is the most effective way to keep warm air out and reduce stress on your compressor.
