The portable cool room has become one of the Australian food and beverage industry’s favoured utilities. Why? Because it is a highly affordable and efficient solution, not to mention its, well, portability!

 

But to ensure you get the most out of your system it’s important to follow a few vital considerations. Portable cool room hire is one of the more cost-efficient things you can do for your business, but to truly optimise it is important to think about the following:

 

1. Will it withstand local temperatures?

 

Aussie summers can be seriously ghastly - this goes without saying. From the south’s dry and dusty glare to the north’s muggy and stormy whirl, one thing is always certain in an Aussie summer: gnarly heat. Any Aussie will attest to 45 degree days spent by the air con, and it’s important to ensure that your chosen solution will be able to withstand such temperatures when one of these wildly hot days comes about.

 

Naturally, most solutions will be able to withstand such temperatures as well as their energy demands, but it’s something you want to ensure with your supplier before you put pen to paper and have that big rig delivered to your business - it could prove seriously costly by the end of a January heat wave.

 

2. What is its application?

 

Why do you need this portable cool room hire? What will you be storing and how much of it will you be storing? The best place to start is to take a measurement of your needs and then choose one size up, as this way you can ensure enough space to store, move and pack extra goods in case there is an uptake in business.

 

What’s more, you may need different solutions for different goods. If you own a local supermarket and need to store a host of different items at different temperatures, then you will want to rent multiple units, as this way you can keep, for example, dairy products at the right temperature and alcohol at a different one.

 

3. What kind of safety requirements do you need?

 

If you intend to keep the unit unattended in the back of the business, then it is highly likely you are going to want to include some safety components when you enlist the company to deliver the unit. As a business owner, you will know that absolutely nothing is off limits when it comes to crooks raiding a food and beverage business, and this includes your portable cool room hire! So, remember to speak with your professionals about what you can include to ensure the unit won’t get towed away in the middle of a dark night!

 

4. Is the provider reputable?

 

Does the provider have a good reputation? Naturally, you don't want to go with a company that has a good handful of Google reviews detailing their subpar service and product offering - you want the best in the business to deliver a solid product that will stand the test of time, top temperatures, dodgy crims etc.

 

So, do a little research on the company before you enlist their service, ensuring that they are a reputable provider with their clients’ best interests close at heart.

 

This, and the other above-mentioned considerations, are the ultimate way to ensure you will get the very best solution available in your local area. This is an important aspect of your business, and you want nothing but the best, so it’s best to roll with these tips and make sure it happens!
