Astra 5 x 18 Walk-In Cooler — CNF5X18

5 x 18 Walk-In Cooler for Grocery and Supermarket Operations

The Astra CNF5X18 is a nominal 5 x 18 walk-in cooler for businesses planning refrigerated backroom storage. This model is the box only 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.

Model details at a glance

Size, access and usable space

For CNF5X18, the catalog lists exterior box dimensions of 4' 11"W x 18' 1"L x 7' 3"H and interior dimensions of 4' 3"W x 17' 5"L x 6' 11"H. Use the exterior measurement to check the proposed location and the interior measurement to develop a storage layout. The nominal 5 x 18 designation is a model-size reference, not a promise of clear floor area or installation clearance. Allow separately for doors, equipment, access to connections and the space required to assemble the panels.

This nominal 5-foot-wide format deserves a careful aisle check. Draw the proposed shelf depths and door swing before deciding how many storage runs to use. Compare one-sided and two-sided shelving arrangements with the clearance your staff and handling equipment need. A longer enclosure can provide more shelving positions without solving a narrow access path, so assess width and length independently.

Refrigeration and operating requirements

Refrigeration is not included in this box-only listing. The enclosure must be paired with equipment selected for the intended operating conditions. Share the stored product type, desired temperature, incoming product temperature, loading pattern and expected door use with the refrigeration contractor. These details affect equipment selection; a nominal box size by itself does not establish the required capacity. Keep the enclosure order and refrigeration specification coordinated so openings, equipment placement and installation responsibilities are agreed in advance.

Floor configuration and site preparation

The base CNF5X18 configuration is supplied without an insulated floor. If your project needs a floor-equipped enclosure, review the matching CWF5X18 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

This product has 8 linked layout drawings for review. Compare the actual door and panel arrangement with your site plan; a layout image is not permission to interchange every door size, hinge position or panel. Record the chosen drawing with your order so the required arrangement can be checked. Door size and layout selection should be reviewed as separate specification details, and neither should be inferred solely from the product photograph.

Related listings include CNF5X18-TM top-mount alternative, CNF5X18-RM remote alternative, RR5X18 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 CNF5X18, 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.

Request a project quote to confirm the equipment and service scope, or purchase the listed configuration when its specifications match your approved plan.

Coordinate delivery before installation

Before arranging delivery, confirm the receiving location, unloading arrangements and the route to the installation area. Share doorway measurements, access restrictions and any appointment requirements with the team. Keep the final model, selected equipment and drawings together so the receiving and installation teams work from the same information. Discuss any service or installation charges separately rather than assuming they are part of the product listing. At receiving, compare the delivered items with the packing list and record any visible damage or missing components before scheduling assembly.
