Trane expands cold store rental fleet
27th March 2025
BELGIUM: Trane has expanded its container cold store rental fleet across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, with the introduction of new models, features and power solutions.
The growing rental fleet addresses the growing demand for temporary temperature-controlled storage in events, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, warehousing and other applications. It now includes compact L-Store temperature-controlled containers, modular M-Store units and new power options like generator sets, stationary battery packs and solar panels.
“Trane’s short- and long-term cold storage rental solutions exemplify a seamless integration of Thermo King’s industry-leading refrigeration technology and Trane’s extensive service network and turn-key expertise,” said Louis Rompre, Trane EMEA’s services business leader.
The new, compact Trane L-Store units employ technology from Thermo King, carefully engineered by airside specialist AL-KO Airtech. They come in a 7ft size and complement the range of cold store containers available in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft lengths.
Trane containers are equipped with features such as wash-down drains, man-trap alarms, interior lighting, and emergency escape releases, making them ideal for static storage. Options include telematics and remote monitoring and controlled atmosphere.
Trane M-Store modular configurations allow for multiple container units to be joined together without extensive engineering or large upfront costs. These modules can be used as temporary refrigerated warehouses that adapt easily to fluctuating demand and supply.
To maintain the cold chain integrity, Trane now also offers rental of different stationary power solutions compatible with refrigerated containers that can provide a stable power supply during outages or peak periods. This includes battery packs, clip-on gensets and solar panels.
The Trane rental battery packs are available in configurations ranging from 35kWh to 175kWh. Their compact dimensions include all power electronics, controls, and battery modules inside the same frame.
