Lowe Rental

Overview

Lowe Rental is a global equipment-rental and managed-services provider specialising in commercial refrigeration, walk-in cold rooms, and catering/kitchen infrastructure for grocery retail, events/exhibitions, and public-sector customers. Its service model covers end-to-end delivery, installation/commissioning, maintenance/service, and removal, including longer-term “equipment-as-a-service” style rental plans (e.g., Rental+). The company positions part of its refrigeration offering around lower-GWP and natural-refrigerant solutions, including propane self-contained cases and support for CO₂ transitions.

Focus

The company’s primary focus is supporting grocery retailers with temporary, emergency, peak-demand, and refit refrigeration needs through managed rental, helping customers maintain store operations while upgrading or supplementing refrigeration assets.

In the clean-cooling context, Lowe Rental emphasizes lower-GWP refrigeration options, leak reduction, and technology-enabled service delivery (including remote/IoT monitoring) aligned with retailer transitions away from legacy HFC-based systems. It operates from headquarters in Northern Ireland and serves customers internationally.
