When it comes to outdoor refrigeration, reliability and durability are paramount. Polar King, the industry leader in seamless fiberglass walk-in coolers and freezers, delivers peace of mind with units that are pre-built, rigorously tested, and engineered for superior performance. Since 1982, Polar King has set the standard for quality construction, ensuring every unit withstands the harshest conditions while maintaining energy efficiency and operational excellence. Here’s why our pre-built and tested units are the clear choice for businesses across industries.
Pre-Built for Hassle-Free Deployment
Polar King units arrive at your facility fully assembled, pre-wired, and ready to operate with just a simple electrical connection. Unlike traditional metal-panel walk-ins that require on-site assembly and refrigeration contractor support, our units are constructed and tested at our facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This pre-built approach eliminates the need for complex setup, saving you time and reducing installation costs. Whether you’re a restaurant, school, healthcare provider, or government agency, Polar King’s plug-and-play design ensures your refrigeration solution is up and running quickly, often within hours of delivery.
Our Quick Build Program further streamlines the process, offering faster lead times on popular sizes like 6’x8’ to 12’x16’ walk-in coolers, freezers, and combination units. These units are made to order with customizable options, such as door widths (36” to 60”) and floor load ratings, ensuring they meet your specific operational needs without sacrificing speed or quality.
Rigorously Tested for Uncompromising Reliability
Every Polar King unit undergoes comprehensive factory testing to guarantee performance in real-world conditions. Our refrigeration systems are installed and vetted by expert technicians before leaving the factory, ensuring precise temperature control and energy efficiency. This rigorous testing process eliminates the risk of on-site issues, giving you confidence that your unit will perform flawlessly from day one.
Polar King’s commitment to quality extends beyond refrigeration. Our units are evaluated for structural integrity, wind resistance, and environmental compliance. They meet stringent standards, including Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade County Product Control Approval for high-velocity hurricane zones, as well as Texas’ International Residential and Building Codes for wind speed and fire safety. Additionally, our units hold Industrialized Building Systems (Modular)/Mobile Structures certification from Indiana, requiring in-plant and construction-phase inspections to ensure consistent quality. These certifications underscore our ability to deliver units that endure extreme weather, from 175°F heat to 100 lbs. per sq. ft. snow loads, without compromising performance.
Superior Construction: The Fiberglass Advantage
At the heart of Polar King’s durability is our patented seamless fiberglass construction, a hallmark of quality that sets us apart from conventional metal-panel units. Unlike metal exteriors that conduct heat, rust, dent, or corrode, our 100% seamless fiberglass design absorbs minimal heat (0.04 BTUs compared to aluminum and steel), ensuring energy savings of up to 50% over traditional units. This one-piece construction eliminates seams, preventing moisture damage, air leaks, and bacteria formation, while rounded interior corners and NSF-approved non-slip flooring create a sanitary, easy-to-clean environment.
Our fiberglass units are built to withstand the elements, from coastal saltwater corrosion to heavy thunderstorms and blowing debris. Heavy-duty floors support up to 5,000 lbs. per sq. ft., and optional features like reinforced doors, vinyl strip curtains, and alarm systems enhance functionality and security. This construction quality ensures Polar King units maintain a like-new appearance with minimal upkeep, backed by a 12-year structural warranty.
Certified Excellence and Industry Trust
Polar King’s dedication to quality is reflected in our industry-leading certifications. Our units comply with NSF/ANSI 7 standards for food protection and sanitation, as well as ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental performance. These certifications, combined with our Perfect Flame brazing certification for refrigeration systems, ensure leak-free operation and adherence to the highest manufacturing standards. Our 40-year track record of serving chain restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, and government agencies speaks to the trust we’ve earned across industries.
