Cold Storage and Temperature Controlled Environments

Rite-Hite's cold storage solutions combine loading dock products with our digital software platform to help increase safety and efficiency. These systems focus on energy savings and precise temperature control, essential for industries like food and pharmaceuticals, ensuring storage environments meet critical standards.

Inefficient freezer openings are way more costly than people think. Frost collecting on freezer doors and the use of heated air curtains or heat lamps to keep them clean wastes a lot of energy. Add to this slow moving and inadequately insulated doors and you’re facing substantial energy losses and even productivity, per opening.

Keeping the cold side cold and the warm side warm is a constant challenge. Not only does energy consumption come into play, but consider the time spent addressing the problems of frosted door openings, the hazards of wet concrete or surfaces, and the potential for product damage or spoilage. Effort to address these issues could be minimized with a high speed insulated door, curtain wall, or protective barriers for cold storage facilities. 

The Rite Solution. We’ve answered the challenge with the best range of energy efficient doors available. Our exclusive Thermal-Flex Sealing System plus high-speed operation and performance give you the most energy-efficient way to handle your toughest cooler and freezer applications. And with the right equipment upgrades, savings can add up to $18,000 per opening, annually.

If your situation calls for a large area to be enclosed, Zoneworks® Insulated Curtain Walls provide you with an adaptable way to contain heat or separate and partition off temperature-controlled areas. They are easy to fit, install, and reconfigure to match your changing facility use or operational needs.

GuardRite Polymer Barriers and Bollards can help, too. They maintain temperature control by helping to prevent damage to doors and walls that could cause cold air leaks and moisture buildup that are a slip/fall hazard. They define traffic paths so there's no disruption to operational flow. Polymer protection guarding solutions also separate forklifts from sensitive equipment, including ends of racking, doors, evaporators, condensers and more.
