Walk-In Cooler Boxes Only

Best Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Boxes for Custom Builds

A walk-in cooler or freezer box gives you the insulated structure you need without the refrigeration system included. These panel-only kits let you pair your walk-in with a remote condensing unit, glycol system, or existing rooftop refrigeration. By separating the box from the cooling equipment, you can size each component precisely, work with your preferred HVAC contractor, and keep your options open for future upgrades.

These panel-only walk-ins are built for operations that want control over their refrigeration setup. Whether you're expanding cold storage in a restaurant, adding a barrel-aging room in a brewery, or converting warehouse space into temperature-controlled inventory, a walk-in box gives you the structure while you handle the cooling your way.

At GoFoodservice, we offer walk-in cooler and freezer boxes from Amerikooler, a trusted manufacturer known for high-density foam insulation, tight construction tolerances, and quick-ship lead times. Choose from cooler boxes for refrigerated storage or freezer boxes with thicker insulation for frozen applications, in various sizes to match your available space.

Why Choose a Walk-In Box Without Refrigeration?

If you already have a refrigeration contractor you trust or an existing cooling system you want to tie into, a panel-only walk-in makes a lot of sense. You get the insulated structure without paying for a refrigeration package you don't need. That means more flexibility in how you source and install your cooling equipment.

Beyond flexibility, separating the box from refrigeration can simplify permitting and installation. Your contractor can stage the project in phases, getting the structure up first and then connecting refrigeration when ready. If you ever need to upgrade your cooling system down the road, you're not locked into a proprietary setup.

Isn't it better to have full control over your refrigeration choices rather than being limited to what comes bundled with your walk-in? That's exactly what a panel-only box delivers.

What to Look for in a Walk-In Cooler or Freezer Box

When shopping for a walk-in box without refrigeration, you'll want to consider your space requirements, installation surface, and intended use. Cooler boxes and freezer boxes have different insulation thicknesses, so choose accordingly.

Some things to consider when choosing a walk-in cooler or freezer box include:

• Cooler box vs. freezer box based on your temperature requirements
• Overall dimensions to fit your available floor space
• Floor vs. floorless design depending on your installation surface
• Insulation thickness and R-value for your climate and application
• Door placement and swing direction for your workflow
• Interior vs. exterior installation for your facility
• And more!

A walk-in box without refrigeration is a smart choice for operations that want flexibility in their cold storage setup. Take time to plan your refrigeration hookup before ordering so your contractor can prepare for a smooth installation.
