Polar King to showcase walk-In, trailer and rental solutions at NRA show

Polar King International, Inc., a leader in frozen and refrigerated cold storage, announces it will exhibit at the 2026 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show, May 16–19 in Chicago.

Polar King will be located at Booth No. 2842, where the company will showcase a full range of cold storage solutions, including units available for purchase, rental and mobile use.

On display will be an 8’x8’ outdoor walk-in unit, a 6’x12’ refrigerated trailer (PKM612) and Polar King’s universal replacement door, engineered to fit virtually any walk-in unit in the industry.

“The NRA Show is the most important event of the year for our industry,” says Polar King President Dave Schenkel. “It gives us the opportunity to connect directly with operators and show how Polar King can support their needs, whether they’re looking to invest in a permanent solution, add temporary capacity or expand with mobile refrigeration.”

Polar King will be represented at the show by members of its rental and leasing divisions, including Adam Castleman, Clint Foor, Mike Hughes and Tom Koch, who will be available to discuss applications across restaurant, catering and foodservice operations.
