Arctic custom walk-in coolers and freezers are designed and manufactured to your specifications, giving unique spaces, workflows, temperature needs, and project requirements a better fit.
Take a closer look at what sets Arctic apart, from manufacturing and engineering to warranty and support.
Bi-Coastal Manufacturing
Factories on both coasts mean shorter lead times and reduced shipping costs.
Factory Pre-Assembly
Boxes are assembled and checked prior to shipping, ensuring quality control.
Dedicated Trucking
Reliable, timely delivery with fewer transfers, hand-offs, and risks of damage.
Designed Around Your Project
Standard dimensions cannot solve every cold storage challenge. Whether you need a custom walk-in cooler, custom walk-in freezer, or walk-in cooler and freezer combo, Arctic can configure the enclosure, access, floor, finishes, and refrigeration around the facility and the way it operates.
Choose 4-inch or 5-3/8-inch foamed-in-place panels and configure the enclosure around angled walls, sloped ceilings, notched columns, cutouts, and other site conditions.

Custom Walk-In Freezer and Cooler FAQs
A custom walk-in starts with the realities of the project: space, temperature, capacity, access, traffic, and workflow. Understanding those requirements early helps determine where customization adds meaningful value.
A custom walk-in is configured around project-specific requirements instead of being limited to a predetermined set of dimensions and features. Customization can include size and geometry, floors, doors, finishes, accessories, refrigeration, temperature zones, and structural considerations.
Custom walk-in coolers or freezers are worth considering when the available space has unusual dimensions, the operation needs specialized access or floor strength, multiple temperature zones are required, or a standard configuration would interfere with workflow, capacity, or future plans.
Yes. Signature Series can accommodate conditions such as angled walls, sloped ceilings, columns, notches, cutouts, and other nonstandard geometry. Accurate dimensions, drawings, and information about site conditions help Arctic plan the enclosure around the available space.
Yes. A walk-in cooler and freezer combo can provide separate refrigerated and frozen compartments within one coordinated footprint. Capacity, target temperatures, partition placement, door locations, refrigeration, and product flow should all be considered when developing the layout.
Arctic offers floor constructions for different loading and traffic conditions, including economy, standard, heavy-duty, pallet-jack, and electric pallet-jack applications. Available finishes include options such as smooth aluminum, diamond treadplate, galvanized, and stainless steel.
Signature Series can accommodate a wide range of door configurations, including traditional swing, sliding, bi-parting, roll-up, automatic, and reach-in merchandising doors. The right option depends on opening size, clearance, traffic, equipment, and how product enters and leaves the walk-in.
Refrigeration should be matched to factors such as cooler or freezer temperature, room dimensions, product load, ambient conditions, door traffic, equipment location, and installation requirements. Arctic offers multiple condensing-unit and evaporator configurations to meet different project needs.
Share your required dimensions and temperatures, product and capacity needs, site drawings, indoor or outdoor location, door and floor requirements, anticipated traffic, refrigeration preferences, electrical information, desired finishes and accessories, and target project schedule.
Plan Your Custom Walk-In
Use Arctic’s practical guides to determine where customization matters and make better-informed decisions before specification.
Compare standard and custom refrigeration to understand when unusual dimensions, specialized access, product requirements, workflow, changing volume, or future plans make a more tailored configuration worthwhile.
Work through the decisions that shape a cooler or freezer, including required space and temperature, panels, floors, doors, refrigeration, finishes, accessories, placement, maintenance, and long-term use.
Learn how panel insulation, construction, joinery, gaskets, and R-value affect temperature stability, energy use, structural performance, and the workload placed on the refrigeration system over time.
Tell Arctic about your space, temperature, capacity, workflow, access, and project requirements. We’ll help translate those details into the right custom cooler, freezer, or combination configuration.
