The demand for cold storage solutions has never been more pressing in today’s rapidly evolving world. From vaccines and pharmaceuticals to food and beverages, industries across the globe rely heavily on efficient and reliable cold storage to maintain the integrity of their products. However, the U.S. is facing a significant shortage of cold storage and deep freezer space, making it increasingly challenging for businesses to meet this growing demand. At Bradford Systems, we understand these challenges and offer innovative cold storage solutions, including our network of sophisticated, strategically located cold storage facilities, to optimize space and maintain the necessary temperatures for your critical products.
The Cold Storage Challenge
Cold storage is vital for industries like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages, where maintaining a consistent cold chain is crucial. However, the scarcity of refrigerated space in the U.S. is a major hurdle driven by the high costs of building and maintaining such facilities. The expenses associated with creating new refrigerated storage space or expanding the warehouse horizontally to increase the square footage are often prohibitive, leading many businesses to seek alternative solutions to accommodate their needs without new construction and utilizing efficient logistics and consolidated transportation methods.
Maximizing Existing Space with ActivRAC Mobile Shelving
One of the most effective ways to address the cold storage challenge is by optimizing the space you already have. Instead of investing in new facilities, rethinking the shelving within your existing cold storage can significantly enhance your storage capacity and efficiency. Bradford Systems offers the ActivRAC heavy-duty refrigerated mobile shelving system, a state-of-the-art solution to maximize your available cooler space while maintaining the necessary product temperatures. With the ability to compact space and provide 100% accessibility to SKUs, this system eliminates the need for leasing additional costly cooler storage space for heavy items. It avoids the need for renovation or expansion.
The ActivRAC system is engineered to operate efficiently in extreme temperatures, even as low as -20°F. With options for stainless steel construction to prevent frost and condensation, these shelving systems are built to withstand the harsh conditions of cold storage environments. The key feature of ActivRAC is its mobile shelving units, which move side to side on a carriage and rail system. This eliminates the need for static aisles and allows you to utilize every inch of your storage space with the touch of a button using Spacesaver’s ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System. This compact solution for heavy items maximizes existing space with the innovative use of a mobile storage system, doubling your storage capacity within the same square foot.
Ensuring Vaccine Potency with Optimized Cold Chain Storage
Maintaining a robust and consistent cold chain is paramount for industries involved in vaccine management and pharmaceuticals. Vaccines for COVID-19 or varicella require strict temperature controls to ensure their efficacy. Any deviation from the needed temperature range can compromise the potency of these critical supplies.
Bradford Systems’ mobile shelving solutions are designed to optimize your lab’s refrigerated space, ensuring you can store the maximum number of vaccine doses while maintaining a solid cold chain. Our systems are easily movable, allowing direct access to your needed samples while maximizing your storage capacity. By eliminating static aisles, our solutions enable you to store more within the same space, increasing your inventory capacity without additional storage facilities.
Our cold storage solutions also comply with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Storage Handling Tool Kit guidelines. These guidelines outline the conditions for storing vaccines, including specific temperature ranges and handling procedures. With Bradford Systems’ shelving solutions, you can be confident that your vaccine storage will meet these stringent requirements, safeguarding the potency and effectiveness of your supply.
