Polar King manufactures commercial walk-in freezer units that are engineered specifically for outdoor use. These freezers are designed to ensure harsh environments, such as the concrete pad that the new freezer will sit upon. This concrete pad is positioned less than ten feet from the seawall. Market research concluded that Polar King is the only manufacturer available for this type of outdoor walk-in freezer. In addition, Polar King units come pre-wired, fully constructed, factory tested and ready to operate.
