Refrigerated and freezer trailer hire for butchers and the meat trade
When your walk-in goes down mid-trade, you’ve got hours—not days—to keep stock safe. Or it’s three weeks before Christmas and you’re out of hanging space before you’ve even started on the turkey orders. Either way, you need cold storage that works to food-safety standards, and you need it now.
We’re Chilled Down, a family-run refrigerated and freezer trailer hire service based near Norwich. We deliver across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and the rest of East Anglia, plus Sussex. We know butchers, abattoirs, farm shops and charcuterie makers can’t afford downtime or guesswork when it comes to temperature control—so every trailer runs trailer GPS tracking GPS and holds the temps you need, whether that’s chill or hard freeze.

Meat-Safe Temps

Emergency butcher fridge hire when equipment fails
You open up and the walk-in’s warm. The engineer can’t get a part until next week, and you’ve got a shop full of stock and orders due out today.
We’ve taken those calls. A butcher freezer hire or fridge trailer buys you the breathing space to keep trading while your main kit gets sorted. We deliver the trailer to you, wire it into your 240V mains supply (runs off a standard 13 amp socket), and you’re back in control. No tow vehicle needed—we bring it, we collect it when you’re done.
You move your stock across, keep your trade flowing, and your EHO stays happy. It’s not a long-term fix, but it’s the right fix when the alternative is binning thousands of pounds of meat or closing the doors.
Seasonal cold storage for Christmas, Easter and summer
The other call we get is the one you can see coming. Christmas week and you’re hanging 200 turkeys, twice the usual beef orders, gammon for half the county. Your walk-in and blast chiller are rammed by mid-December and you’ve still got collection day to get through.
Same story at Easter with lamb, or summer when the BBQ trade kicks in and you’re doing burger packs, sausages and rump by the tray-load.
Commercial meat fridge trailer hire gives you the overflow space before the panic sets in. Book a refrigerated trailer for the weeks you know you’ll need it, park it in your yard, plug it in, and you’ve got clean, certified cold storage that doesn’t rely on goodwill from the abattoir or a mate with a spare chest freezer.
We run single-axle and twin-axle trailers depending on the capacity you need. Both chill and freezer units available. All delivered and collected—you just tell us when and where.

How booking works for butchers and meat wholesalers
Get in touch as soon as you know you’ll need extra capacity, or the moment your main fridge goes down. Peak times (especially summer wedding season and the Christmas run-up) get busy, so early booking makes life easier.
We’ll ask about the job: what you’re storing, how long you need the trailer, where you’re based. We price by trailer size, hire duration, distance and season—no hidden fees. You’ll get a quote up front.
Once you’re happy, we take a deposit and arrange delivery. We’ll talk you through the 13 amp mains hookup (or if you’re on a remote site with no mains, a small generator will do the job). Balance is due before collection, and we take bank transfer or card. If you’re a butcher, farm shop or meat wholesaler running a business account, we offer 30-day invoicing too.
Every trailer has trailer GPS tracking GPS fitted as standard, and we stay on hand if you need anything during the hire.
