Walk in Coolers

Used Walk-In Coolers
For any operation that handles perishable goods, a walk-in cooler is one of the smartest pieces of equipment you can own—and buying used makes it one of the smartest dollars you can spend. These large-capacity storage units are essential across a range of commercial settings, from food and beverage and hospitality to events catering and beyond.

A walk-in extends the usable life of your products, ingredients, and materials while drawing less energy than a fleet of conventional reach-in refrigerators. Add in the wide range of sizes on the market, and you have a refrigeration solution flexible enough for nearly any business. Choosing a quality used or refurbished unit simply lets you capture all of that at a much lower price point.

At Barr Refrigeration, we carry a broad, ever-changing selection of cooling solutions built for real commercial demands. Browse this page to track down the right used walk-in cooler for your business.

Used Coolers With Floors
A few questions are worth working through before you settle on a walk-in cooler with a floor. Start with capacity: how much medicine, food, or ingredient storage does your operation actually require? Then measure the footprint of the space that will house the unit. From there, think through the extras—whether vinyl curtain dividers would help organize the interior, and which way you'd want a swinger door to open.

So why go with a floored walk-in over a more traditional setup? Durability is the big one. Heavy-duty doors and hinges hold up to constant opening and closing far better than standard equipment, and many units come equipped with temperature sensors that flag a failure before it costs you a load of product. For facilities cycling through high volumes of perishables—think hospitals or warehouses—that reliability pays for itself.

The right floor depends on how hard you'll work it. Before deciding, consider whether the surface needs to bear pallet jacks or other hand carts, and weigh that against your budget. Aluminum is the go-to standard, and many of our coolers ship with aluminum diamond plating.

If you're moving heavier loads, plywood flooring is another route—available either with a single underlay or reinforced with tubular metal grids. Those reinforced grids can carry up to 5,000 pounds, so we'd point you toward that option whenever heavy cargo is part of the daily routine.
