Looking for a refrigerated truck rental? You may need a trailer.

The honest test: are you moving product, or storing it?

Most people who search for a refrigerated or freezer truck rental need one of two things. If the job is to move product from a supplier to a store, rent a truck. If the job is to keep product cold where you are, at a venue, behind a kitchen, at a market or through a power outage, a refrigerated trailer that stays parked and plugged in is built for exactly that.

Why storing product in a truck is harder than it looks

• It has to be driven. Someone has to pick it up, drive it and return it, and many larger refrigerated trucks need a commercial license.
• The cold usually runs on fuel. Most truck refrigeration runs on diesel, so parking one for a weekend means fuel, engine noise and exhaust next to your guests or your back door.
• The floor is high. A truck box sits well above the ground, so every case goes up a ramp or a liftgate.
• It is priced to travel. Mileage and fuel are built into truck rentals. A parked trailer has none.

What a delivered refrigerated trailer gives you instead

• We bring it and set it up. Placement, leveling, a power check and bringing the unit to temperature are included, and we pick it up at the end.
• It plugs into standard power. All-electric, no diesel, no idling, quiet enough to sit beside a tent or a dining room.
• You walk in at ground level. One step up, shelving available, hand trucks roll straight in.
• Cooler or freezer. Most units switch between the two, so one rental covers produce today and frozen stock next week.
• A 2-day minimum. Then day, week and month rates, so a weekend or a month both price fairly.

Freezer truck rental, same answer

If you searched for a freezer truck because a walk-in freezer failed or an event needs frozen space, a freezer trailer holds product solid without a driver or a fuel bill.

When you really do need a truck

If your product has to travel, between a farm and a market, a commissary and several sites, or a supplier and a store, a refrigerated truck is the right tool and we will say so on the phone. Plenty of customers do both: they rent a truck for the drive and park one of our trailers at the destination as the cold room.
