    Well removing walk inn coolers is one of our specialtys, let me just say that we charge for taking them down, now don't get me wrong if you have some one that needs a walk inn and is willing to pay for it THATS great but the realialty of that is very unlikely I can't tell you wow manny times we stored them in the yard trying to sell them and it just never happens so the bad news is that there is realy no value in the cooler itself, the reason is that the insulation is verry thick and the thin layer of sheet tin is lighter than the insulation some yards will not pay you for it. The only value is number one in the coolers door hardware, and number two the floor of the cooler should be a sheet of aluminum. Now the blower in the cooler will have some copper lines and a copper aluminum coil depending on the size of the cooler the coil could be very small or very large, the compressor / compressors should be on the roof of the cooler that being said if you don't know this little secret taking apart the cooler itself will be a time consuming frustrating job.Now the first thing you do is get the roof removed first, now here is my secret that I am sharing with you, the walls and roof of the box have these round plastic circles they are gray in color they Are that color as not to stand out with a large flathead screw driver remove the plastic caps, now the secret tool a Allen Key,,, stick the Allen key in the hole and turn to the right or left you can fell it turn and unlock the hinge/hinges once lose just remove the panel. they are put together like this no matter what size. I have just shared that tip with you,and I hope you and some one else will use it to there advantage. We advertise walk in cooler removals and do a few a year, depending on the location of the cooler to the exit the father away from the door the more we charge, a tipical eight by sixteen cooler we charge a thousand dollars for the job.good luck I know this will help you.
