China cold storage solution provider
For fresh produce exporters in Saudi Arabia, post-harvest loss isn’t just waste—it’s lost revenue. Without proper cold storage, up to 30% of your harvest can spoil before reaching buyers.
But when planning a 1,000-ton cold room, don’t get distracted by “price per cubic meter.” Ask:
“For my budget, how many export pallets can I store at 2°C—and how long will my apples, tomatoes, or mangoes stay fresh?”
📏 How Much Can You Actually Store? (Not Just “1,000 Tons”)
“1,000 tons” sounds precise—but usable capacity depends on packaging and layout:
| Packaging Type | Pallet Load | Usable Density | Total Pallets in 1,000 Tons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800 mm) with crates | ～800–900 kg/pallet | 4.5–5.0 m³/ton | 1,100 – 1,250 pallets |
| Standard bins (400–500 kg each) stacked | ～1.0–1.2 tons/m³ | Requires more aisle space | 800 – 900 bin positions |
To store 1,000 metric tons of mixed fruits/vegetables:
- Required volume: ～5,000 m³
- Typical height: 4.5 m
- Floor area needed: 1,100 – 1,400 m² (includes aisles, staging, and multi-room separation)
💡 Most clients divide the space into 3–5 temperature zones (e.g., 0°C for leafy greens, 5°C for citrus) to maximize flexibility.
