The Polar Leasing story begins in 1995 when vendors from a local food festival requested a short term rental of a walk-in cooler. Not much attention was given at the time, but when more vendors called the following year with the same request, an idea was born.
Polar Leasing has expanded the walk-in rental fleet to cover most of the United States and other parts of North America, offering both short and long term rentals to industries of all types.
From the Olympics to a 6-month restaurant kitchen remodel, Polar Leasing delivers portable refrigeration to places never before possible. With the largest all-electric fleet of temporary refrigeration, Polar Leasing offers more than 80 distribution depots and adding more every quarter.
