Cool Rooms & Freezer Rooms

Compare commercial cool rooms for cafes, restaurants, caterers and bakeries that have outgrown upright storage. The current Atlantic range is Thermaster trolley-friendly mini cool rooms, in single-access and pass-through formats from 580L to 1,450L, so loaded trolleys can roll straight in instead of stock being lifted onto shelves.

Need individual cabinets instead? Browse commercial fridges or commercial freezers, or chill cooked food quickly in a commercial blast chiller. Not sure which format suits your site? Read the commercial cool room buying guide.

How to choose a commercial cool room

A cool room earns its place when delivery-day stock, bulk prep and beverage kegs no longer fit in upright cabinets. Work through these checks before you shortlist a model.

  • Volume and layout: Total your peak stock in crates, trays and trolleys rather than litres alone, then leave room to walk in and rotate stock first in, first out. Pass-through rooms suit a position between prep and service; single-access rooms suit a dead-end store.
  • Position and ambient heat: Check the floor is level and can carry the loaded weight, and keep the condensing unit's clearance and airflow free. Heat from a nearby cooktop or a closed-in ceiling void makes any refrigeration system work harder.
  • Power: Read the data plate or specification sheet for supply voltage and amperage. Some models run from a dedicated single-phase circuit and others need three-phase, so have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit before delivery.
  • Drainage and floor: Ask how condensate is removed and whether the model has its own floor panel or sits on your slab. This affects trolley access, cleaning and washdown.
  • Temperature and compliance: Chilled potentially hazardous food must be kept at 5°C or colder under the Australian Food Standards Code. Confirm the model's operating range at your ambient temperature, and check fit-out expectations (including AS 4674 for food premises) with your local council's environmental health officer.
  • Installation and servicing: Work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by a licensed refrigeration technician, so ask who commissions the room and who services it afterwards.

What to ask before you order

Send the team your peak stock list, door and trolley sizes, floor and ceiling heights, available power and delivery postcode. Ask for the model's electrical requirements, delivery and installation scope, and warranty terms in writing. You can also talk to us or visit the Granville showroom at 151/153 Parramatta Rd.

Cool Rooms & Freezer Rooms FAQs

What size commercial cool room do I need?

Add up your peak stock in crates, trays and trolleys, then allow extra space for airflow and stock rotation. Atlantic's current mini cool rooms range from 580L to 1,450L, so check your delivery-day volume fits before you consider a larger custom walk-in.

What is the difference between a mini cool room and a walk-in cool room?

A mini cool room is a compact, trolley-friendly insulated room in a fixed size, while a walk-in is usually a larger room built to fit the space. Mini rooms suit cafes and smaller kitchens; larger venues often need a custom walk-in.

Does a commercial cool room need three-phase power?

Not always. It depends on the compressor, so read the model's data plate or specification sheet for voltage and amperage. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit and whether three-phase is available at your site before you order.

What temperature must a commercial cool room hold?

Cold potentially hazardous food, such as meat, dairy and prepared salads, must be kept at 5°C or colder under the Australian Food Standards Code. Check the model's operating range and ambient limits, and check room temperature regularly with a thermometer.

Who can install and service a commercial cool room in Australia?

A licensed refrigeration technician must handle the refrigerant circuit and a licensed electrician must make the power connection. Ask your supplier who commissions the room, what the installation scope includes and who services it afterwards.
