Refrigerated containers for rent in Ottawa
Rent or buy chilled and frozen container storage across Ottawa, the National Capital Region and eastern Ontario.
Cold storage container rental across Ottawa
TITAN covers Ottawa and the surrounding region, so if you need chilled or frozen space on your site, we can get a unit to you. In many cases, you can be up and running in a matter of days.
Once we know the temperature you have to hold and roughly how much room you need, we’ll deliver a refrigerated container to your premises, set it down exactly where you want it and hand it over – ready for cold storage. It stays for as long as the job takes, and then we collect it.
There’s no expensive cold room to design, no contractor on site for 10 weeks, and nothing left over afterwards.
Temperature-controlled storage is all TITAN Canada does – rather than being a sideline. And we do it in more than 40 destinations across North America.

Farms, labs and everything in between
Ottawa is an unusual market for us, because it isn’t only a government town. The National Capital Commission leases roughly 13,000 acres of Greenbelt land to working farmers, which means commercial crops are growing inside the capital’s own boundary. Produce needs cooling quickly, and it often needs chilling at the point where it comes off the field, which is exactly what a portable cold store solves.
The rest of our Ottawa customers are from a wide range of industries:
- Growers, packers and market gardeners through the harvest months
- Grocery stores and distribution centres covering a refit, a peak or a failed compressor
- Hospitals, universities and research groups storing samples and reagents
- Food producers, bakeries and breweries waiting on more permanent capacity
- Caterers and event planners working sites that have no cold space wired in
- Manufacturers and testing labs holding components at a fixed temperature
Choosing a unit and getting it delivered
Nine times out of ten, the reefer container Ottawa customers need is an ArcticStore. It comes in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft sizes, with a working range that runs from +45°C right down to -40°C. Whether the job calls for a chiller or a freezer container, Ottawa customers rarely need to look past it.
Three units handle the jobs it isn’t built for. The ArcticBlast is a powerful blast freezer in 20ft and 40ft sizes that rips heat out of a fresh batch fast rather than holding something already cold. TITAN’s Arctic UltraFreezer reaches -75°C in 20ft and 40ft, which is what research and clinical work usually calls for – expensive oily fish, too.
Our HotStore, meanwhile, goes the other way: it heats up to +85°C and is useful for clients who work with chemicals or who need a large, secure space for curing/drying. Some clients use HotStores for testing components, too.
Then there’s the ArcticStore Horizon, a low-energy 40ft unit that uses roughly 55% less energy, on average, than a standard cooler. It comes with solar panels.
If you’re thinking that we get about as much sunshine here as a broom cupboard, don’t worry: solar power works on light, not the heat of the sun. Canada’s solar resources are genuinely decent.
What we’ll need to know before delivery
Our drivers bring the container out and place it for you. Before everything’s booked in, we’ll ask about:
- The ground, and whether it is suitable year-round
- Access for a truck, including room to turn and back in
- Anything overhead in the way
- Clear space at the doors for loading
- The power supply, and whether it needs work first
Worth knowing: the strip curtains hanging inside the doorway are not decoration, and it’s tempting to tie them back when you’re running a pallet truck in and out all morning. Leave them where they are.
That’s because every open door dumps cold air, making the unit work harder to claw it back – and your energy bill notices. Our delivery guide and cold storage FAQ cover the rest of the practicalities.

Rentals, purchases and bigger builds
Refrigerated container rental in Ottawa usually lasts for months rather than weeks, and many contracts extend into years. Shorter rentals are perfectly possible, too. There’s an agreement to sign, but it’s written to be workable/flexible rather than to tie you down.
When a single container won’t do, 20ft and 40ft units can be joined into an Arctic SuperStore, giving you one open-plan cold room built to your exact specifications and divided into temperature zones where you need them. That takes more planning than a standard rental, so it’s worth raising as soon as you get in touch.
If ownership suits you better than renting, we have refrigerated containers for sale in Ottawa and across the region as well.
Whichever route you take, SmartArctic is included with most units. It gives you remote monitoring and control of the container, so set points, defrost cycles, alarms and log files are all available without leaving your desk.
