Coleman

The Coleman Convoy 55QT is a portable cooler box designed to keep food and drinks cold across extended outdoor use — festivals, outdoor events, sporting fixtures, catering runs, or similar operations where refrigeration isn't available on-site. Built from HDPE with a fully insulated lid and body, and a leakproof gasket seal, it is a practical choice for operators who need reliable passive cooling away from a fixed cold chain.

In real-world use, the Convoy performs well over multi-day periods when pre-chilled correctly and kept out of direct sunlight. The insulated lid — referred to by Coleman as TempLockFX — works alongside the body insulation to slow heat transfer, which is where much of its performance advantage lies over standard cool boxes. The rubber latches hold the lid firmly closed, which helps maintain internal temperature during transit and repeated opening.

From an operational standpoint, the Convoy offers several practical advantages:

• Antibacterial liner treatment built into the material, resistant to wear over time
• Stainless steel hinges and a built-in steel bottle opener on the lid
• Single rope handle with reflective insert for low-light visibility and confident grip
• HDPE construction that is robust without carrying unnecessary weight
• Leakproof gasket reduces the risk of meltwater spillage during transport

At 5.7kg unloaded, the Convoy is noticeably lighter than rotomoulded alternatives, which matters when the box will be carried fully loaded over any distance. It is worth noting that this is a passive cooler — it requires ice or ice packs to function and is not a powered unit. For extended outdoor catering operations requiring consistent temperature control, a powered refrigeration solution may be more appropriate.

The Convoy suits outdoor event caterers, mobile operators, and back-of-house teams needing reliable cold storage on the move. If you regularly run high-volume outdoor events and need a larger capacity or powered option, it is worth discussing your specific requirements with us before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this cooler is the right fit for your operation, we are happy to talk it through.

The Coleman Convoy 28QT is a hard-sided portable cooler built from HDPE, designed to maintain cold temperatures over extended periods without the bulk associated with rotomoulded alternatives. At 4kg unladen, it sits at the lighter end of the performance cooler category, which matters once it is fully loaded for a shift or a multi-day event. The TempLockFX insulated lid and body work alongside a leakproof gasket to hold temperatures reliably, making it a practical choice wherever consistent cold storage is needed away from mains refrigeration.

In catering and event environments, the Convoy handles the kind of repeated opening and closing that comes with a busy service. The rubber latches hold the lid firmly closed during transit and keep the seal intact between uses. Stainless steel hinges add durability at a point that often fails on lighter coolers, and the integrated steel bottle opener in the lid is a small but useful addition in the field. The rope handle with reflective insert makes it straightforward to carry and locate in low-light conditions.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Antibacterial liner treatment built into the fabric — cannot be worn away with cleaning
• Leakproof gasket reduces spillage risk during transport
• Lightweight HDPE construction eases handling when fully loaded
• Reflective rope handle aids visibility and safe carrying at events
• Robust latches and stainless hinges hold up to repeated daily use

The Convoy 28QT is well suited to outdoor catering operations, pop-up events, market traders, and mobile food businesses where mains refrigeration is unavailable. A 26.5-litre capacity is practical for supplementary cold storage or short-run service rather than primary day-long stock holding. If your operation requires larger capacity or longer ice retention for full-day or multi-day events, there are higher-capacity coolers worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the Convoy suits your specific setup or want to talk through the options for your event format, we are happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Coleman Convoy 65QT is a wheeled, hard-sided cooler box designed to keep food and drink cold for extended periods away from mains refrigeration. Built from HDPE with a fully insulated lid and body, it is aimed at operators and individuals who need reliable passive cooling for outdoor events, mobile catering set-ups, or temporary storage during transport and service.

The TempLockFX insulation system — combining an insulated lid with a leakproof gasket — is designed to maintain consistent internal temperatures over multi-day use without the need for any power source. At 7.8kg empty, it is notably lighter than rotomoulded alternatives of a comparable size, which matters when loading and unloading at an event site or transporting between locations. The built-in wheels and rope carry handle with grip make it practical to move when loaded to its 61.5-litre capacity.

Features that are worth noting for practical use:

• Antibacterial treatment built into the liner fabric to inhibit mould and mildew growth
• Stainless steel hinges and heavy-duty rubber latches for a secure, lasting lid seal
• Integrated steel bottle opener mounted in the lid
• Reflective rope handle for visibility in low-light conditions
• Wheeled base for easier movement when fully loaded

As a passive cooler, performance is directly affected by ambient temperature, how frequently the lid is opened, and the ratio of ice to contents. It is not a substitute for powered refrigeration in high-temperature environments or where strict temperature control is required. For longer events or warmer climates, planning ice quantities carefully is important.

This cooler is well suited to outdoor catering operators, event staff, market traders, and food businesses that need portable, non-powered cold storage for day or weekend use. Those requiring larger storage volumes or more extended cooling performance may find a higher-capacity or rotomoulded option more appropriate for their needs.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your typical load or event duration, we are happy to talk it through.

The Coleman Xtreme Wheeled Cooler is a robust, portable cool box designed to transport and hold chilled food and drink over extended periods without access to mains refrigeration. With a 47-litre capacity and injected polyurethane foam insulation throughout the body and lid, it is built to maintain low internal temperatures for up to four days, making it a practical choice for outdoor catering, events, and remote service situations where conventional refrigeration is not available.

In real-world use, the relatively slim-walled construction maximises usable interior volume without adding unnecessary bulk — useful when loading vehicles or working with limited staging space. The all-terrain wheels and telescopic handle make it straightforward to move across uneven ground, gravel, or grass, which is a genuine advantage on outdoor event sites. Ice retention over multiple days is achievable in moderate ambient conditions, though performance will reduce in high temperatures or with frequent lid opening during a busy service.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Polyurethane foam insulation in lid and body for consistent temperature retention
• Rust-resistant drain channel allows liquids to be emptied without tilting
• Lid rated to support up to 113kg, doubling as a step or seat when needed
• Four recessed cup holders moulded into the lid top
• Telescopic handle and all-terrain wheels for straightforward site transport

There are no electrical or water connections required. It is a passive cooler — pre-chilling the box and its contents before loading will noticeably improve ice retention. It is not a substitute for powered refrigeration in a fixed kitchen environment and is not suitable for long-term storage of temperature-sensitive produce without regular ice replenishment.

This cooler is well suited to mobile caterers, pop-up operations, outdoor events, and any situation requiring reliable short-to-medium-term cold storage away from mains power. It is less appropriate where precise temperature control or HACCP-compliant chilled storage is required. For higher-capacity or longer-duration requirements, a larger-format passive cooler or a portable compressor unit may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and insulation specification fits your service requirements, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through the practicalities before you commit.

The Coleman Xtreme 95-litre wheeled cooler is a large-format passive cold-holding box built for transporting and storing significant quantities of chilled food and drink without any power source. Injected polyurethane foam insulation runs throughout the body and lid, allowing it to maintain cold temperatures for extended periods when pre-loaded with ice or ice packs — making it a practical tool for catering operations that need to move chilled product between locations or hold stock during off-site service.

In commercial catering use, this type of cooler is commonly deployed for event catering, market stalls, mobile food service, and outdoor hospitality functions where mains-powered refrigeration is not available or practical. The reinforced lid is rated to support a substantial load, meaning it can serve as an improvised work surface or additional seating during outdoor events — a genuinely useful detail when working in a constrained site layout.

The cooler is built to be moved with a load inside it. Two all-terrain wheels and a telescoping drag handle allow it to be pulled across uneven ground, while swing-out side handles give a second person a secure grip when lifting is required. Both handle sets fold flat to keep the unit compact in storage or during transit.

• Polyurethane insulation maintains cold temperatures for extended periods without power
• Rust-resistant drain channel empties liquid without needing to tilt the unit
• Reinforced lid doubles as a work surface or seating on-site
• All-terrain wheels and telescoping handle suit outdoor and uneven terrain
• Recessed lid cup holders provide convenient access during service

It is worth being clear that this is a passive cooler — it requires ice or pre-chilling to function and is not a substitute for powered refrigeration. It is best suited to supplementary cold holding and short-to-medium-duration transport rather than primary refrigerated storage. For fixed-site cold storage requirements, a refrigerated cabinet will be the appropriate solution.

If you are weighing up whether this capacity suits your service volumes, or whether a powered cold-holding option would be more appropriate for your operation, the team is glad to help you think it through.

The Coleman Xtreme is a large-format passive cooler built around injected polyurethane foam insulation. At 66 litres, it offers a practical cold-holding volume for chilled food and drink over extended periods without any mechanical refrigeration. The blue finish helps with quick identification in multi-cooler setups, which is a small but useful operational detail when running busy outdoor service.

In real-world catering use, passive coolers of this type perform best when pre-cooled before loading and used with sufficient block ice or quality ice packs. The Xtreme's insulation is rated to maintain temperature for up to five days under typical conditions, making it well suited to multi-day festivals, outdoor events, and temporary catering setups away from mains power. Operators working in high ambient temperatures should allow for more frequent ice replacement and limit unnecessary lid openings during service.

Features that translate into practical operational value include:

• Injected polyurethane foam walls that maximise internal volume relative to external footprint
• Lid rated to support up to 113kg, usable as a prep surface or step in the field
• Rust-resistant drain channel allowing meltwater to be cleared without tilting the unit
• Fold-flat side handles for easier transport and van storage between events
• Four recessed cup holders integrated into the lid for working setups

At 8.9kg empty, the cooler is manageable for a two-person lift when fully loaded. Operators running high-volume cold-holding across a large event should assess whether multiple units or a portable electric option would be more appropriate for their throughput and food safety obligations.

This cooler is well suited to outdoor caterers, mobile food businesses, and event operators that need reliable short-to-medium-term cold-holding without access to mains refrigeration. It is not a substitute for compliant refrigerated storage where regulations require monitored temperatures. For operations needing greater capacity or longer unattended hold times, larger passive or powered alternatives are worth considering.
