TRAILER HIRE

Refrigerated Trailers

Fridge trailers enable products to be transported at controlled temperatures, with easy access available when required. We have single and multi-temperature fridge and freeze options available on our fleet.

Temperature-sensitive goods like medicine and frozen food need a steady climate during transit. Fresh produce suppliers require these types of trailers. Cold room trailer hire is an attractive option as renting is more seamless and cost-efficient.

When only one temperature is required, mobile freezer trailers and single temperature chiller trailers are preferred. These mobile fridge trailers offer ambient, chilled or frozen operation. On the other hand, multi-temperature trailers are opted for where than one product is transported, requiring storage at different temperatures. Hire prices start from £250 per week.
