Walk-in Cooler Floor Live Load

[XR250]

I am designing a wood platform for a portable walk-in cooler. It is 8 feet wide, 20 feet long, by 7 feet tall. The cooler sits on an integrated steel frame.
Does anyone know what floor live load I should design for?

Thanks.

From the DOD's Unified Facilities Criteria, UFC 3-301-01, Structural Engineering, Appendix G Minimum Uniformly Distributed Live Loads and Minim Concentrated Live Loads:

49. Refrigeration storage rooms

Dairy 200psf​

Meat 250psf​

Vegetable 275psf​

Just guessing your portable won't be as heavily loaded - especially since you're going with a wood platform. I'd probably not go less than 125, though. You'll have some amount of refrigeration equipment, and if they pack it tight it could get quite heavy.
