New Website walkincoolerparts.com

Has your walk-in cooler or freezer seen a lot of use and abuse over the years? Door parts on walk-ins are particularly susceptible due to heavy traffic and may become worn or break. In the past we have exclusively provided walk-in parts for our units by calling our parts line 866-261-2797 (8-5PM CST). U.S. Cooler is proud to announce the launch of our new parts website walkincoolerparts.com. The site will allow you to create an account and save items in your cart to be purchased at a later date. It also offers the convenience of 24/7 ordering, free shipping, secure checkout and no minimum purchase amounts.

Currently, our online catalog only offers parts that are standard on U.S. Cooler walk-ins. These include hinges, closers, cam locks, light fixtures, screeding, handles and more. In the coming months, we will begin adding additional items to our catalog encompassing parts that require specific sizing or aren’t found on U.S. Cooler manufactured units.

Walk-in Cooler Parts accepts Visa, Discover, and Mastercard. Appropriate sales taxes will be charged for shipments to Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas.

Firehouse Renovation on Illinois Stories

Craig Industries / U.S. Cooler’s corporate offices are located in a renovated firehouse in Quincy, Illinois. Engine House No. 4 was originally built in 1898 and housed two horse-drawn fire wagons. It was used by the fire department until 1940 and has subsequently been used for textile manufacturing. In the Fall of 2008, Craig Industries completed a restoration of the building that was faithful to the original design. The interior features modern amenities but still has a nostalgic feel with the original brick walls and  wooden supports intact.

Engine House No. 4 will be featured on the PBS program Illinois Stories at 6:30pm, December 10th (WSEC – Jacksonville/Springfield, WQEC – Quincy, QMEC – Macomb).

Illinois Stories: From the river heritage of Quincy and Hannibal, to the bounty of the richest farmland on earth, Mark McDonald hosts this Emmy award winning series about the people and places of central and western Illinois. PBS
