When it comes to temporary cold storage, Polar Leasing offers a superior solution with its walk-in cooler and freezer rentals. The secret to their unmatched performance lies in their seamless fiberglass construction, a game-changer in the refrigeration industry. From energy efficiency to durability, the fiberglass advantage sets Polar Leasing apart from competitors using traditional metal or panel-based units. Here’s why Polar Leasing’s fiberglass design is the ideal choice for your cold storage needs.
Unmatched Energy Efficiency
Polar Leasing units are engineered for maximum energy efficiency, thanks to their seamless fiberglass construction. Unlike metal exteriors, which absorb and conduct heat, fiberglass has low thermal conductivity, absorbing minimal heat even in extreme conditions. This means the refrigeration system doesn’t have to work overtime, reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs. Polar Leasing units use polyisocyanurate rigid board insulation covered by a continuous fiberglass layer, eliminating air pockets that can allow heat infiltration, unlike polystyrene or polyurethane insulation used in other units. This design ensures consistent temperatures, whether you’re maintaining 35°F (2°C) for coolers or -10°F (-23°C) for freezers, even in the harshest weather.
Durability That Withstands the Elements
Polar Leasing’s fiberglass units are built to endure tough outdoor conditions. The seamless fiberglass exterior is waterproof, rust-proof, and resistant to dents and corrosion, making it ideal for coastal areas where saltwater can damage metal units or for regions with heavy snow, where Polar Leasing units can handle up to 100 lbs. per square foot of snow load. Tested in temperatures above 175°F, the fiberglass design withstands blowing debris, thunderstorms, and extreme heat without compromising structural integrity. Unlike metal-panel boxes, which can dent or rust, Polar Leasing’s fiberglass units maintain their appearance and functionality for the long haul, ensuring reliable performance for your rental period.
Sanitary and Easy to Clean
The seamless fiberglass interior of Polar Leasing units provides a sanitary environment critical for foodservice, pharmaceutical, and other industries. With rounded corners and an NSF-approved non-slip flooring system, these units prevent bacteria formation and are easy to clean with a simple hose-down, without risking insulation damage. This contrasts with traditional panel units, where seams and joints can harbor moisture or contaminants. The smooth, continuous fiberglass surface ensures a hygienic storage space, giving you peace of mind when storing sensitive products.
Hassle-Free and Versatile Design
Polar Leasing units are delivered pre-assembled, pre-wired, and ready to operate, requiring only a standard electrical connection. The ground-resting design eliminates the need for ramps, providing easy access for staff and equipment. The units offer flexible temperature ranges (35°F to -10°F) and can even provide ambient storage for specific applications. Plus, their quiet operation and lack of fumes make them a cleaner alternative to reefer trucks.
Why Fiberglass Beats Traditional Alternatives
Compared to metal or steel units, Polar Leasing’s fiberglass construction offers clear advantages:
- No Heat Transfer: Fiberglass absorbs just 0.04 BTUs of heat, far less than metal, which acts as a conductor and increases cooling demands.
- Seamless Construction: Eliminates moisture damage and bacteria growth, unlike panel-based units with seams that can degrade over time.
- Low Maintenance: The durable, corrosion-resistant surface requires minimal upkeep and resists wear from environmental factors.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The attractive fiberglass exterior maintains a professional look, enhancing your site’s appearance.
These benefits make Polar Leasing units not only practical but also cost-effective, as their energy efficiency and durability translate to lower operational and maintenance costs.
Real-World Applications
Polar Leasing’s fiberglass units serve a wide range of industries:
- Foodservice: Quick-serve restaurants and caterers rely on units like the 8’x20’ for extra storage during peak times, keeping food fresh and safe.
- Pharmaceuticals: Combination freezer/refrigeration units meet cold chain requirements for sensitive medications or lab samples.
- Education: Schools use Polar Leasing units for reliable, user-friendly storage during events or renovations, as highlighted at the FSNA Annual Conference.
- Large-Scale Needs: Modular refrigerated warehouses provide cost-effective solutions for food manufacturing or bulk storage, with customizable specs for size and temperature.
