FAQs
Can I use dry ice in the Coolabox?
Yes, the robust insulation is designed to withstand temperatures required for dry ice storage, but handle with caution and ensure proper ventilation.
Does the cooler have wheels?
No, the Coolabox 50L is designed with two sturdy side handles for manual lifting.
Is the lid strong enough to sit on?
While it is a hard, flat surface, it is designed primarily as a table; avoid sitting on it to prevent potential damage to the hinge mechanism.
What is the weight of the box when empty?
The box is constructed for durability, so it has a substantial weight, though exact specifications may vary based on manufacturing tolerances.
Can I lock the cooler with a padlock?
Yes, there is an integrated padlock tab on the front that allows you to secure the contents with a standard padlock.
How should I clean the drain hole?
Rinse with fresh water and use a soft-bristled brush if debris or residue builds up inside the drainage channel.
Troubleshooting
Contents are warming up faster than expected
Ensure the lid is fully closed and the metal clasps are engaged. Minimize the frequency and duration of opening the lid.
Drainage hole is leaking
Check the drain plug seal for debris or damage; ensure it is screwed in tightly and properly aligned.
Difficulty opening the lid
Due to the airtight seal, a vacuum can form. This is normal and indicates a high-quality seal; apply gentle, consistent pressure to lift.
