Pallet Door Walk-in Cooler/Freezer
The DT820PD (8’x20’) ground resting refrigeration and freezer rental provides temperature ranges from 35°F (2°C) to -10°F (-23°C).
Polar Leasing’s DT820DP is a walk-in combination freezer/refrigeration unit that was specifically designed for customers that require a 54” hand pallet jack accessible unit. The DT820DP rental unit is constructed with a heavily reinforced door that is large enough to fit a 54” hand pallet jack inside for loading and unloading. For customers that require larger storage space where hand loading is not an option, the Polar Leasing DT820DP is an ideal fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a walk in cooler with a pallet door?
Our walk in cooler pallet door units are rental refrigeration units designed with a reinforced, oversized door opening that accommodates a 54-inch hand pallet jack. This makes them ideal for operations that move large quantities of product and cannot rely on hand-loading alone. The door opening replaces the standard personnel door found on most walk in coolers with a wider, heavy-duty alternative built specifically for pallet-scale loading and unloading.
What is the floor load capacity of a pallet cooler rental?
Our pallet cooler rental features a heavy-duty floor rated to hold up to 5,000 lbs. per square foot. That load capacity is built to handle the weight demands that come with pallet-based loading and high-density product storage. It is one of the key reasons our pallet door units are a common fit for food distribution, catering, and other high-volume cold storage applications.
Does the pallet door unit accept a forklift?
No. Our walk in cooler pallet door units are designed for hand pallet jacks only, with a door opening sized to fit a 54-inch hand jack. Mechanized forklifts are not compatible with this unit. If your operation requires forklift access, we recommend speaking with our team about other unit configurations that may better fit your workflow.
What industries typically use a pallet freezer rental?
Our pallet freezer rental units are commonly used in food distribution, contract foodservice, large-scale catering, grocery and retail overflow, and pharmaceutical cold chain operations. Any operation that move product by pallet and use hand pallet jacks is a strong candidate for a pallet door unit. The combination of high floor load capacity and oversized door access makes these units well-suited for high-throughput environments.
What protective features are included inside the pallet door unit?
Our walk in cooler pallet door units include an interior bumper guard that runs around the perimeter of the unit. This helps protect the walls and insulation panels from impact damage during loading and unloading with a hand pallet jack. The interior also features our antimicrobial interior finish, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
Is the pallet door walk in cooler NSF certified?
Yes. Our pallet door walk in cooler and freezer rental units carry NSF certification, which confirms they meet the sanitation and construction standards required for food safety applications.
