Steel Structure Cold Storage Building Product Introduction
1. Product Overview
A steel structure cold storage building is a specialized prefabricated facility designed for temperature-controlled storage of perishable goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, and seafood. Combining a high-strength steel frame with advanced insulation and refrigeration systems, it ensures precise temperature control, energy efficiency, and long-term durability.
This solution is widely used in logistics centers, food processing plants, and cold chain distribution systems, providing reliable storage under refrigerated or frozen conditions.
2. Structural System
Main Steel Structure
- Columns & Beams: Welded or hot-rolled H-section steel
- Material Grade: Q235B / Q355B (or ASTM equivalent)
- Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanizing (recommended for anti-corrosion in low-temperature and humid environments)
Secondary Structure
- C/Z purlins for roof and wall support
- Bracing systems to enhance structural stability
- Reinforced framing for refrigeration equipment installation
3. Insulation & Building Envelope System
Cold Storage Panels
