Frequently asked questions
What CAPEX per pallet should we budget for industrial cold storage?+
Typical turnkey ranges: USD 1,500–3,500/pallet for ambient-to-frozen conventional builds, USD 3,500–7,000/pallet for ASRS-automated high-bay facilities. Location, refrigerant and land readiness shift the range.
Ammonia (NH₃) or CO₂ for a new industrial cold store?+
Low-charge NH₃ dominates >500 kW loads and large warehouses. Transcritical CO₂ is competitive at <500 kW, where NH₃ safety codes constrain siting, or in mixed climate/heat-recovery scenarios.
How long does a 10,000-pallet cold store take to build?+
Typical schedule: 3–4 months engineering, 8–14 months construction and commissioning. Long-lead items (compressors, ASRS cranes) drive the critical path.
Does ColdMatch build the facility itself?+
No — ColdMatch is an independent procurement platform. We source and shortlist verified EPCs, refrigeration OEMs and panel/ASRS vendors. Contracts are signed directly between buyer and supplier.
What documentation do we need before RFQ?+
Site plan, target pallet capacity, temperature zones, throughput (in/out per day), refrigerant preference, and target CAPEX/OPEX envelope. Our RFQ Builder walks you through it.
