Refrigerated trailer & cooler rental in Charlotte, NC.
For planned events and jobs across the Charlotte metro, Cold Storage on Wheels delivers all-electric cooler and freezer trailers, a 10-tap draft beer trailer, and bagged ice. We are based about two hours west in Asheville and schedule Charlotte deliveries around your date. Family-run since 2002.
Mobile cold storage for the Charlotte metro
Charlotte is the biggest event market in the Carolinas: weddings every weekend, brewery districts in NoDa and South End, corporate gatherings, festivals, and a catering scene that regularly outgrows its walk-in space. For planned dates, Cold Storage on Wheels brings the cooler and freezer trailers, the 10-tap draft beer trailer, and bagged ice, scheduled around your event from our Asheville base about two hours west.
Refrigerated truck rental, or a refrigerated trailer?
A lot of Charlotte searches ask for a refrigerated truck. For a job that stays at one site, a trailer does the same work with less hassle: no driver, no CDL, no fuel, no finding a place to park a box truck overnight. We deliver the trailer, level it, plug it in and hand you the keys to a cold room that sits beside your kitchen, tent or dock until you are done. If you need a vehicle to move product around the metro all day, that is a truck rental and we will tell you so.
Not the 53-foot dry storage trailer
We also see Charlotte searches for 53-foot storage trailers. That is dry, unrefrigerated freight storage from a leasing yard, and it is not what we rent. Our units are refrigerated walk-in trailers from 6 by 8 up to 6 by 16 feet, sized for a caterer, a restaurant, a florist or an event, and every one runs as a cooler with most switching to a freezer. If you need it cold, this page is the right one.
