A 6,000 square meter cold chain logistics warehouse is typically used as a regional distribution hub for frozen foods, meat products, seafood, agricultural produce, and e-commerce cold chain logistics.

Project Scale and Storage Capacity
This project is calculated based on standard logistics warehouse parameters:
- Cold storage area: 6,000 m²
- Clear internal height: 7 meters
- Total cold storage volume: approx. 42,000 m³
In logistics cold storage projects, a common industry benchmark is:
- 1 ton of frozen or chilled goods ≈ 4–5 m³ of storage volume
Estimated Storage Capacity
- 8,400 – 10,500 tons, depending on pallet density and racking layout
- This capacity is suitable for:
- Cold chain logistics centers
- Large-scale food distribution
- E-commerce fulfillment with temperature-controlled inventory
Construction Cost Overview
The construction cost of a cold chain logistics warehouse depends heavily on temperature zoning, partition design, insulation thickness, and refrigeration system selection.
For a project of this scale:
- Insulation system:
- Polyurethane sandwich panels (120–150 mm)
- High-load insulated flooring suitable for forklifts
- Refrigeration system:
- Parallel screw compressor units
- Ceiling-mounted or floor-standing air coolers
- Designed for continuous high-load operation
Estimated Total Investment
- USD 700,000 – 900,000
Energy Consumption & Operating Cost
For a logistics-scale cold storage warehouse, energy efficiency is critical.
- Installed power: approx. 380–420 kW
- Average daily electricity consumption:
7,500 – 9,000 kWh
Energy-saving design and staged compressor operation can reduce power consumption by 15–20% compared with conventional systems.
