When it comes to storing temperature-sensitive products, cold storage isn’t just a utility — it’s a critical part of your supply chain. Whether you’re in the food industry or logistics, choosing the right cold storage provider can be the difference between operational reliability and costly waste.
So what should businesses actually look for in a cold storage provider?
1. Temperature Control You Can Trust
Not all storage facilities are created equal. Precise temperature control and consistent monitoring are non-negotiable. Look for providers who can guarantee temperature integrity across a range of storage needs — from chilled to frozen and everything in between.
Why ACIT:
ACIT uses advanced temperature monitoring systems with real-time alerts to ensure your products remain at optimal temperatures 24/7. Our cold storage is compliant with industry standards, giving clients peace of mind and full traceability. We also offer dry storage as well for non-temperature dependent items.
2. Location and Accessibility
Proximity to key transport routes or production facilities can save time and costs. Reliable access, both physically and operationally, makes a huge difference to your logistics chain.
Why ACIT:
Conveniently located in Brisbane’s industrial precinct near Brisbane Airport and the M1 (or Pacific) Highway, ACIT’s facility provides seamless access for inbound and outbound logistics. We offer fast turnaround times and are equipped to handle both short- and long-term storage needs.
3. Security and Compliance
Beyond temperature, security is paramount — both in terms of physical safety and compliance with food storage regulations.
Why ACIT:
Our site is protected with 24/7 surveillance, controlled access, and industry-grade protocols for hygiene and handling. We meet HACCP and other relevant compliance frameworks, ensuring your goods are stored in a secure and regulated environment.
4. Scalability and Flexibility
Your business might need to ramp up storage seasonally or scale down unexpectedly. A cold storage provider should be able to adapt to your changing requirements.
Why ACIT:
We offer flexible storage terms and scalable solutions, working with you to accommodate seasonal volumes, bulk stock holding, or customised picking and packing solutions if needed.
5. Customer Service and Reliability
It’s not just about space — it’s about support. The right partner should feel like an extension of your team, not just a vendor.
Why ACIT:
We’re a family-run business with over 25 years of experience and a strong reputation for customer support. Our clients value our responsiveness, transparency, and ability to problem-solve in real time.
Choosing a cold storage provider is about more than just refrigeration — it’s about trust, control, and long-term efficiency. At ACIT, we take pride in offering a premium, reliable cold storage service that’s tailored to your needs.
