Inspecting refrigerated buildings for proper freezer warehouse floor installations.

                                   

                                                         Typical freezer warehouse floor

When understanding if a freezer or cooler warehouse building is capable of  freezer or cooler storage temperatures this has to  be considered. The floor under the refrigerated portion of the cold storage building has to be inspected to make sure it is capable of accommodating freezer storage temperatures. Freezer storage temperatures range between a +10°F down to -10°F.

The warehouse floor over the refrigerated portion of the building will either contain an in-floor heating/defrosting system or it will not . If the building was designed exclusively for freezer warehouse storage, it will have a heating system underneath the warehouse floor.  These heating/defrosting systems are of various types, but it is designed to not let the moisture in the ground below the industrial warehouse floor to freeze.  Whatever water freezes, it expands and that expansion of water below the floor will cause the floor to heave upwards and possibly even result in a structurally unstable warehouse building.

Most of the time when freezer warehouse space is leased, the rent rate is determined on a price per square foot per year basis. An example would be a freezer warehouse room that is 10,000 square feet in total size, and the annual rental rate was $15.00 per square foot, then the rental rate amount would be $150,000 per year or $12,500 per month. However, an alternative method is to lease freezer warehouse space by renting a freezer pallet slot on either a yearly or monthly basis. Often times contract labor warehouse services are available when leasing freezer pallet slot positions.
