🧾 What Should You Pay Attention to in a Cold Storage Quotation? A Conscious Offer Analysis Guide for the Right Decision

Investing in a cold storage system is a serious expense and a long-term decision. That’s why you should not only focus on the “cheapest” offer, but rather choose one that is complete, transparent, and most suitable for your needs. So, what should you consider when receiving a quotation? Here are the critical points you should not overlook in cold room offers.

✅ 1. Are the Technical Details Clearly Defined?

  • Every quotation must include the following information:

    • Room dimensions (width, length, height)

    • Panel thickness and the type of sheet metal used (e.g., SS304 stainless steel), as well as sheet thickness (e.g., 0.50 mm or 0.30 mm)

    • Cooling temperature range

    • Cooling capacity (the power of the unit in HP and the cooling capacity in kW)

     

    📌 If technical specifications are missing, it is impossible to compare quotations accurately.

🧱 2. Are Material Quality and Brand Details Specified?

The brand and quality of the materials used directly affect the total price. The quotation should clearly state the following:

  • The panel manufacturer and its density must be specified. Panel density typically ranges between 38 and 42 kg/m³. Panels with a density lower than 38 kg/m³ should be avoided.

  • Door type and specifications (hinged, sliding, glass, etc.)

  • Brands of cooling equipment (e.g., Bitzer, Tecumseh, etc.)

 

⚠️ Quotations including unbranded or low-quality equipment may lead to significant long-term costs.

 

⚙️ 3. Is the Cooling System Capacity Sufficient?

To ensure the system operates efficiently at the target temperature, it must have the correct cooling capacity.

  • Is the compressor capacity adequate?

  • Have the temperature requirements of the products to be stored in the cold room been accurately provided and factored into the calculations?

  • Have key factors such as product load and outside ambient temperature been considered?

  • The temperature inside a cold storage room can fluctuate due to constant traffic — including people entering and exiting, and frequent product loading and unloading. Therefore, choosing the right cooling unit is a very sensitive and critical issue.

👉 Esad Panel carefully records all of these variables and selects the most suitable equipment for your specific project.

 

📷 4. Are Reference Projects and Visuals Provided?

  • Has the company completed similar projects in your industry?

  • Are there real project photos available?

  • Are post-installation visuals or customer testimonials shared?

🌍 5. Is It Compliant with European Standards and Certifications?

  • CE Certificate

  • EN 14509 Panel Standard

  • Environmentally friendly refrigerants with low GWP

  • HACCP food safety compliance

These certifications are mandatory for companies involved in exporting.

 

🎯 Conclusion: Choose the Most Suitable Offer, Not the Cheapest

 A cold storage investment is a long-lasting system. Therefore, when evaluating quotations, you should pay attention not only to price but also to transparency, technical details, and the scope of services.
