Choosing the Right Mobile Cooler: What to Know Before You Rent

When your walk-in cooler or freezer goes down—or you simply need extra capacity—renting a Mobile Refrigerated Trailer is often the smartest solution. But not all units (or situations) are the same. Here are the key factors to keep in mind when selecting the right temporary cold storage option for your business:

  1. Capacity: How Much Storage Do You Really Need?

Start by estimating the amount of product you’ll need to store. Factor in product type, volume, and how long you’ll need the unit. For example, a 7′ x 12′ refrigerated trailer can hold up to 4,000 lbs. of product. Choosing the right size helps you avoid paying for unused space—or worse, running out of room when you need it most.

  1. Unit Size & Placement

Our trailers are compact enough to fit in a single parking spot, but placement matters. A flat surface—pavement, gravel, or even grass—works best. Make sure the area is accessible for delivery and positioned so your staff can load and unload product easily. A few minutes of planning here can save a lot of headaches later.

  1. Power Requirements: Simple & Flexible

One of the biggest advantages of our refrigerated trailers is how easy they are to power. They plug into a standard 110-volt, 20-amp outlet—the same type you use at home. No special wiring or electrical setup required. And if you’re in an area without power access, a portable generator provides a reliable backup option. We’ll help you determine the best setup for your needs.

  1. Rental Costs: What to Expect

Pricing depends on unit size, rental length, and delivery distance. Longer rentals often come with discounted rates.

  1. Maintenance & Support

All of our units are thoroughly inspected and serviced before delivery. You won’t need to worry about maintenance or repairs during your rental period—our team has it covered. And if an issue does arise, you’ll have access to responsive, professional support every step of the way. We pride ourselves on our service. Don’t just take our word, see for yourself!
