Why Arctic Walk-In Coolers Fall Short
When buying a “CoolBot walk-in” through Store It Cold, you’re really getting an Arctic brand cooler box. And here’s the problem:
-
❌ Polystyrene (styrofoam) insulation — cheap, brittle, moisture-absorbing
-
❌ No UL or NSF rating on many boxes
-
❌ No flame-resistant certification
-
❌ Not approved by strict municipalities like Houston, TX or Oregon state regulators
-
❌ Not engineered for 24/7 cadaver storage
These shortcuts might work for produce or small DIY storage, but funeral homes, hospitals, and medical examiners require safe, durable, and compliant refrigeration.

Testimonials
“We considered a CoolBot setup, but when we learned it was just an Arctic box with styrofoam panels, we switched. AMC delivered a 10x16 Walk-In Cooler that was UL-rated and approved for our county.” – Funeral Director, Texas
“The 4BX Upright Cooler gave us exactly what we needed. Arctic couldn’t offer anything flame-resistant or mortuary-rated.” – Hospital Morgue, Oregon
FAQs

Yes — Store It Cold (CoolBot) is owned by Arctic, meaning when you buy a CoolBot walk-in, you’re getting an Arctic-built box.

Polystyrene absorbs moisture, breaks down, and is not flame-resistant. It’s not suitable for mortuary or medical use.
Q: Are American Mortuary Coolers UL and NSF rated?
Yes — all of our systems meet UL, NSF, and flame-resistance standards.
Q: Are your coolers approved by state and city authorities?
Yes — our foam construction is approved in Houston, Oregon, and other strict jurisdictions nationwide.
Q: Do you guarantee better pricing than Arctic?
Yes — we guarantee to beat any Arctic or CoolBot quote by 5% or more delivered.
