The reality of the cold storage challenge
According to the Frozen Logistics report, Australia's cold storage sector is facing a supply crisis with an estimated gap of 130,000 square meters. Furthermore, 15 percent of Australia’s current 3.1 million square meters of cold storage footprint is no longer fit for purpose, placing even more strain on the sector. Population growth, rising consumer demand for fresh and frozen goods and boom in e-commerce and exports exacerbate the need for an additional 950,000 square meters of cold storage space over the next decade.

Bridging the gap with refrigerated containers
Trane’s portfolio of stationary cold storage solutions offers operations managers a versatile, easy and cost-effective solution for temperature-controlled storage of goods. With advanced high-efficiency refrigeration technology, precise temperature control, and robust construction, it is well-suited to address the cold storage crisis in Australia. Trane’s cold container is also available in a 48' 2-pallet wide version, capable of storing 24 CHEP pallets on the floor. This modular approach maximises space to assist with additional storage needs as required, featuring a single refrigeration unit to reduce energy costs and simplify operation.
