Description
12 x 23 Walk-In Cooler for Grocery and Supermarket Operations
The Astra CNF12X23-RM is a nominal 12 x 23 walk-in cooler for businesses planning refrigerated backroom storage. This model is the remote refrigeration configuration in the Astra cooler range. It gives you a specific starting point for comparing equipment, organizing stock and preparing an installation plan. Match the box to the products you store, the available building space and the way your team receives and replenishes inventory—not just the room name on a floor plan.

Size, access and usable space
The 12 x 23 designation identifies the nominal footprint; it is not a substitute for a dimensioned installation drawing. Exact exterior dimensions, usable interior dimensions and assembly clearances are not confirmed in the current structured listing for CNF12X23-RM. Request those measurements before committing to a room layout. Include the full access route from the delivery point to the installation area. A nominally suitable room can still be unsuitable if doorways, ceiling obstructions or service access prevent safe placement.
For this larger nominal 12 x 23 footprint, plan receiving, storage and picking together. Identify which inventory needs frequent access and which can sit farther from the entrance. If you are considering multiple shelf runs or a central aisle, test the proposed arrangement against the actual interior measurements. Do not allocate every available inch to shelving; staff movement and access for maintenance remain part of usable planning.
Refrigeration and operating requirements
This SKU is listed with remote refrigeration. Plan the relationship between the condensing equipment, evaporator and enclosure rather than considering the box in isolation. Have the refrigeration contractor review equipment placement, the proposed connection route, electrical requirements and service access. The selected package must suit the actual site and operating load. Do not assume the product price includes field piping, wiring, commissioning or building work; those responsibilities should be specified in the project quote.

The specification above is the current catalog description. Confirm the exact supplied equipment and site suitability on the final quote.
Floor configuration and site preparation
The base CNF12X23-RM configuration is supplied without an insulated floor. If your project needs a floor-equipped enclosure, review the matching CWF12X23-RM floor configuration. This is a separate product configuration, not an accessory automatically included with the base box. Confirm the selected model and price before checkout. Ask your installer to assess the existing floor, level, surface condition and interface with the enclosure; changing floor configuration can also change entry height and overall dimensions.
Layouts, alternatives and accessories
Request the model-specific panel and door layout before finalizing the order. Check the entrance position against shelving, neighboring equipment and the available approach. If a drawing is not shown for this SKU, ask for it rather than assuming another model's arrangement will fit. Record any required door size, hinge direction or access arrangement in your quote request so the supplied configuration can be confirmed against your requirements.
Related listings include RR12X23 matching rain roof cover. Shelving, lighting, entry accessories and other additions should be specified for the actual model and use. They are not automatically included because they appear in a photograph or related-product area. For an outdoor installation, confirm the complete outdoor specification; a roof cover alone does not establish that every component is suitable for exposure. Review accessory compatibility and quantities before submitting the order.
Questions to resolve before ordering
Does the listed size include installation clearance?
No. Nominal size is a product designation. Use the exact box dimensions and approved equipment drawings, then account for assembly, door movement, ventilation and service access required by the selected configuration.
What should I send with a quote request?
Include model CNF12X23-RM, the installation address, room measurements, photos of the site and the products you plan to store. Add the preferred layout, floor requirements and refrigeration selection so the team can review one coordinated specification.
