05 Door configuration & handing

Choose from four precise placements — corner or off-center, on the 10′ wall or the 40′ wall. Your Door Location selection in the Build-It-Out configurator above is transmitted with your order and the unit is built to it at no charge. Match hinge side (right or left) to the swing that clears your prep-room flow; a lockable door handle is a factory option (+$125).

06 Construction & panels

Quick Ship prefabricated modular construction for easy field assembly. Polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation for superior water resistance and the highest possible R-value. Floorless design with durable vinyl screeds standard; optional insulated floor available above. The interior clears the exterior by 8″ in width and depth. Cam-lock panels assemble with two people and no specialty tools.

07 Refrigeration options

The 10×40 ships with a matched two-piece refrigeration system standard. High-ambient upgrades (Level 1–90°F through Level 4–110°F) are priced live in the Build-It-Out configurator above and added to your cart with the unit. Remote-split builds available. Compressor selection is workflow-dependent:

• Copeland scroll — high door-cycle facilities
• Heatcraft — tropical-climate / high-ambient installs
• R-290 hydrocarbon — low-GWP jurisdictions

08 Installation & lead time

Ships as a flat-pack panel kit on palletized LTL freight from Tennessee — buyer provides forklift or fork-equipped unloading. Standard lead time runs 5–15 business days for in-stock configurations (4–6 weeks for custom builds). Installation is not included unless exclusively stated in writing on your quote.
