Refrigerated containers for rent in Kitchener-Waterloo
Temperature-controlled container storage for rent or purchase across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and the surrounding townships.
Cold storage container rental in Kitchener-Waterloo
TITAN covers Kitchener-Waterloo and the surrounding countryside. When the cold space you have needs an upgrade or adding to, we can have what you need onsite in days – no construction required.
If you build a new cold room, it’s a big commitment. You have to dig deep into the company finances, give up floor space – permanently – and acquire something that stays put, which can be a pain if you suddenly need cold storage at the other end of the building.
Rent a refrigerated container instead, and none of that applies. Our drivers deliver, position and leave you with a temporary cold space that’s ready to run. We’ll collect it when you’ve finished.

More food manufacturing than the region gets credit for
Waterloo Region is better known for software than for food, which undersells it considerably. The area counts more than 1,400 farms and over 130 food manufacturers, and has the highest concentration of food and beverage manufacturing workers anywhere in Canada.
That density is the reason cold storage is so popular around here. Between the farms, the plants and the distribution that sits between them, a great many businesses in this region are one equipment failure away from a problem. Our enquiries come from:
- Food and beverage manufacturers working through a shutdown, a new line or a plant expansion
- Meat, dairy and protein processors needing chilled or frozen space quickly
- Farms, market gardens and packers who need more space during the growing season
- Grocery operations and food distributors caught out by a refit or a failure
- Breweries, bakeries and prepared-food producers between capital projects
- Hospitals, universities and laboratories with large volumes of temperature-sensitive material to protect
Choosing a cold storage unit, and getting the best out of it
Everything in our fleet comes from TITAN’s ArcticStore collection – it’s used worldwide by thousands of clients.
For most requirements, the ArcticStore in 10ft, 20ft or 40ft is the go-to model. It will hold any set point between +45°C and -40°C, and the same machine covers both chilled and frozen work – meaning one reefer container in Kitchener frequently does what people assume needs both a chiller and a separate freezer container.
We also have the ArcticBlast, a blast freezer in 20ft and 40ft, which is designed to take heat out of a fresh batch in hours, and the Arctic UltraFreezer. It reaches minus 75°C for clinical/laboratory stock and high-value oily fish.
Our HotStore runs to +85°C and is used for chemicals, curing and drying, while the ArcticStore Horizon is our low-energy 40ft option, consuming about 55% less electricity on average than a standard reefer container.
Before we settle on a delivery date, think about where you want to site the container, how a truck reaches the spot, anything hanging above it and what power is there. Our delivery guide and cold storage FAQ answer most of what people ask beforehand.

Something worth knowing when you’re choosing a size: the product inside a cold store is doing more work than you might think. A well-filled container holds its temperature considerably better than a half-empty one, because the stock itself acts as ballast – it rides out door openings and brief interruptions far more comfortably.
If you’re hesitating between two sizes and expect to run mostly full, a smaller unit often behaves better than a larger one used at half capacity. Also worth knowing: SmartArctic is fitted to most units. It gives you remote control, monitoring and temperature logs from your phone.
Rental terms, modular builds and buying
Refrigerated container rental in Kitchener-Waterloo comes with a contract, but we’re famously flexible and won’t tie you down longer than you need. Even short periods can be arranged if that’s what the work needs – a catering gig being a good example.
When you run out of space, talk to us about a one-off modular build at your premises, created to your exact specifications. These custom combinations of 20ft and 40ft models are what we call an Arctic SuperStore: they’re a single open-plan cold room, shaped around your needs/premises and separated into temperature zones if required.
Refrigerated containers for sale in Kitchener-Waterloo are available, too. They come from our ArcticStore range as well – just get in touch if buying outright suits you better than renting.
