Questions customers ask most

How much does it cost to rent a refrigerated trailer?+
Published day rates start at $139 for the 6 x 8 and the 5 x 10, $159 for the 6 x 12 and $179 for the 6 x 16, on a 2-day minimum, with lower week and month rates. Larger trailers are quoted by size and date. Local delivery and setup start at $120 and are priced by distance, with no fuel surcharges. Call (828) 713-4303 for your exact number, usually the same day.
What is the minimum rental, and how is it billed?+
There is a 2-day minimum, and we rent by the day, week, or month. Rentals start at $139/day. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards, and delivery and setup are priced up front with no fuel surcharges.
Do you rent small refrigerated trailers?+
Yes. The 6 x 8 and the 5 x 10 are the smallest units, right for a florist before a wedding, a single catering station, a small party or a farm stand. They fit in a driveway or a single parking space and start at $139 a day.
Do you have larger refrigerated trailers?+
Yes. Beyond the four sizes with published rates, there are larger trailers for big events, grocers and long outages. Call (828) 713-4303 with what you are storing and for how long, and we will match the size and quote it.
Do you deliver and set up the cooler or freezer?+
Yes. We deliver and set up every trailer at your location across North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, and Kentucky. You just provide the power connection.
Do I need a truck to tow it?+
No. We deliver, place, level and set up every trailer, and we pick it up when you are done. We do not offer self-haul, because correct setup is what makes a trailer hold temperature.
Do you rent refrigerated trucks or freezer trucks?+
No. We rent refrigerated and freezer trailers that we deliver, set up and pick up. If you need to transport product, rent a truck. If you need to keep product cold where you are, a trailer is usually the simpler rental.
What power does a unit need?+
Our trailers run on standard electricity, no diesel. 110-volt units use a standard 3-prong plug on a dedicated 20-amp non-GFCI connection. 220-volt units need a 30-amp connection. No power on site? We can refer a generator and help you size it.
How cold do the trailers get?+
Each trailer can be set as a cooler or a freezer, from below freezing for frozen product up to normal refrigeration temperatures for produce, beverages, flowers, and prepared food.
Can a refrigerated trailer run as a freezer?+
Every unit runs as a cooler, and most switch to a freezer that holds frozen product solid. Tell us the temperature your product needs and we set the unit before it leaves the yard.
Can you help in an emergency if my walk-in goes down?+
Yes. Emergency cooler and freezer replacement is one of the main reasons customers call. When a walk-in fails or the power goes out, we move fast to get mobile refrigeration on site, fastest in our Asheville and WNC home base. Call (828) 713-4303 any time.
Can we rent cold storage for weeks or months?+
Yes. Weekly and monthly rentals are common for remodels, seasonal overflow, harvest and long outages, and the effective daily rate drops as the rental gets longer.
How far in advance should I book for an event?+
The earlier the better, especially in wedding and festival season. We can often handle short-notice events, but booking two to four weeks out gives you the best choice of trailer size and the beer trailer. Bagged ice is ordered the week before your event.
Do you deliver bagged ice and rent the beer trailer?+
Yes to both. We deliver 16 lb bags of ice for events (order the week before), and our 10-tap refrigerated draft beer trailer is available for weddings, festivals, and brewery events.
Can I lock the trailer and add shelves?+
Shelving is available, and you are welcome to secure your trailer with your own combination or keyed padlock. Entry is ground-level with a single step up.
