Arctic rents temperature-controlled storage in the Klang Valley by the pallet position or by the room. You take only the frozen or chilled space you need, scale it up or down with your season, and skip the million-ringgit cost of building and running your own cold room.

Space is monitored around the clock and backed by Arctic's handling, 300,000 sq ft of capacity, and a nationwide fleet of 30+ lorries.

What is cold room rental?

Cold room rental is renting temperature-controlled storage from a provider instead of building your own. You pay for the space and handling you use - a pallet position, a zone, or a dedicated room - and the provider runs the refrigeration, the monitoring, and the upkeep. It turns a large fixed investment into a flexible operating cost you can scale.

Who rents cold space from Arctic

  • Businesses that need more cold storage than they currently have
  • Companies with seasonal peaks who do not want to pay for peak capacity all year
  • Importers and distributors needing overflow space next to their own freezer
  • Anyone weighing whether to build their own cold room - and seeing the real cost

Building your own cold room is a million-ringgit commitment

A cold room is not a cheap thing to own. Building one can cost from around RM1 million to tens of millions of ringgit depending on size and equipment - and that is before you staff it, monitor it, and maintain it.

On top of cost, running a cold room takes real experience: stock rotation, temperature management, and the manpower to keep it all moving. Without that, problems stack up - slow goods movement, poor rotation, temperature issues, and higher damage rates - and they land straight on your margin. For most businesses, renting proven cold space is simply more practical than carrying that burden alone.

What you can rent

  • Anything from a single pallet position up to a dedicated cold room
  • Frozen or chilled space, for short-term overflow or long-term capacity
  • Handling in and out, with stock logged and accounted for
  • Around-the-clock temperature monitoring, run by Arctic's team
  • Onward delivery on Arctic's own fleet when you need it

Minimum volumes and contract terms are set to fit your needs - tell us your pallet count and how long you need it.

How cold room rental is priced

You pay for the space and handling you use. The main drivers are how many pallets or how large a room, the temperature your goods need, how long you need it, and how much handling and delivery you want included.

Some providers quote a flat rate per pallet per day. Arctic quotes against your actual volume and season, so you are not paying for peak capacity twelve months a year.

Cold room rental questions, answered

Why not just build my own cold room?

Cost is the first reason. Building a cold room can run from around RM1 million to tens of millions of ringgit depending on size, equipment, and requirements - a heavy commitment for many businesses. Renting proven cold space from a provider is usually more practical and more cost-effective.

Besides cost, what is hard about running your own cold room?

Managing a cold room takes experience, manpower, and proper systems. Without a team that knows cold-chain operations, problems happen easily - slow goods movement, poor stock rotation, temperature issues, and higher product damage rates - and those problems feed straight back into your profit.

How little, or how much, space can I rent?

Anything from a single pallet position to a dedicated cold room. Tell us your pallet count and how long you need it, and we will match capacity and terms to that rather than push you into a fixed package.

Where are your cold rooms?

Arctic's anchor facility is in Kepong, central in the Klang Valley with North-South Expressway access, with further capacity in Pahang and nationwide delivery on our own fleet.

How do you keep rented space at the right temperature?

The same way we run all our cold storage: regular manual checks plus remote monitoring, with immediate response if a reading goes abnormal. Monitoring is included in the rental, not something you set up yourself.
