Polar Leasing Company, which offers the largest North American fleet of electric, ground-ready, outdoor walk-in freezer and refrigerated rental units via a national distribution network, announces Meriden, Connecticut-based Northside Self Storage as the recipient of the company’s inaugural Depot of the Year Award.

Polar Leasing, one of the Polar King family of companies, initiated the Depot of the Year award to recognize the challenging work and dedication member depots provide in assisting in the delivery and pick-up of refrigerated containers and communicating effectively with end users, according to President Bart Tippmann. “Delivery and pick-ups are sometimes exceptionally difficult and require our depot partners to navigate extreme obstacles,” he said.

“Polar Leasing has been expanding its footprint across the United States,” continued Tippmann. “We look for depots… that prioritize deliveries because they are often time-sensitive, especially when customers need a mobile unit for a special event or emergency/disaster events. These depots deliver refrigerated containers via tow truck or flatbed trailer where and when they are needed.

“This year’s Depot of the Year winner has great commitment to its customers. Their enthusiasm and unmatched customer service impels customers to lease Polar Leasing units time and again,” said Tippmann. “Nothing stops Northside Self Storage from making deliveries. They even hopped on a ferry to deliver a Polar Leasing unit to a customer on Block Island in Rhode Island. That’s the extra effort that makes Northside Self Storage an ideal Polar Leasing ambassador.” polarleasing.com
