At U.S. Cooler, we don’t just go big—we go tall.
When you think about customizing a walk-in cooler, you might first consider square footage or door placement. But one of the most overlooked—and important—dimensions is height. At U.S. Cooler, we manufacture walk-in coolers and freezers in a variety of standard heights, and we also offer custom-tall units for customers who need to maximize vertical space.
Whether you’re storing stacked product, accommodating tall equipment, or designing a walk-in for a unique application, we have the experience and flexibility to build what your space demands.
Standard Walk-In Cooler Heights
Our most common walk-in heights are:
- 7’6” (90″) – our standard height
- 8’4” (100″) – frequently used when more headroom is needed
- 9’0” (108″) – another popular option for added vertical storage
These sizes work well for most commercial kitchens, convenience stores, and foodservice operations. They provide efficient storage space while keeping installation straightforward.
Need to Go Taller? We’ve Got You Covered.
Some projects require more vertical clearance—whether it’s for racking systems, palletized storage, tall carts, or specialized equipment. U.S. Cooler can manufacture custom walk-ins up to 20 feet tall or more, depending on your specifications.
We build each panel to match the exact height needed, and we’ll work with your architect or contractor to ensure proper support, access, and code compliance.
When a Taller Walk-In Makes Sense
Here are some situations where extra height is a smart choice:
- Cold storage warehouses needing full pallet stacking
- Food processing facilities with overhead equipment or tall shelving
- Breweries or beverage distributors storing stacked kegs
- Institutions and schools requiring vertical storage for bulk deliveries
Going taller can mean fewer square feet with more usable volume, which helps optimize building layout and reduce long-term energy costs.
Built to Perform at Any Height
Our tall walk-in coolers and freezers are engineered for structural integrity and temperature control. We use high-quality panel construction, heavy-duty doors, and optional reinforcements to ensure long-term durability—even in high-traffic or high-load environments.
Need additional features? We offer:
- Reinforced floors
- Strip curtains and air doors
- Custom shelving and lighting
- Roof supports for interior structures
