The event
Festivals create a sudden, concentrated demand for cold storage. Whether you’re running a bar, selling ice cream, or managing catering for hundreds of people, keeping stock cold and accessible is essential. For this Dereham event, the organisers needed both walk-in chiller space and front-of-house bottle coolers that could cope with high throughput.
Our team delivered the equipment from our depot at Fundenhall, near Norwich, with everything ready to plug in and use. No specialist installation, no waiting for engineers – just reliable cold storage that works from the moment you need it.
Refrigerated trailer hire festivals: what we supplied
The hire package included:
- Twin-axle refrigerated trailer with shelving on both sides for maximum stock capacity
- Under-counter bottle coolers with twin sliding glass doors, holding up to 276 × 330ml cans, 188 × 500ml cans, or 143 bottles
- Delivery and collection included
- 240V power supply – runs from a standard socket
The trailers are GPS-tracked, temperature-stable and quiet-running, so organisers can focus on the event rather than the kit. The bottle coolers are counter-height units ideal for bar setups, giving quick access to chilled stock without staff having to leave the serving area.
Keeping everything cold
Refrigerated trailers give you walk-in space with adjustable shelving, so you can organise stock by type, delivery schedule or service time. The dual-side layout means two people can work inside without getting in each other’s way – a real advantage when you’re restocking between busy periods.
The under-counter bottle fridges are designed for front-of-house use. The twin sliding glass doors let customers see what’s available, and the compact footprint means they fit neatly into pop-up bars, marquee setups or outdoor serving stations. Everything runs on mains power, so there’s no need for generators or special wiring.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special power supply for refrigerated trailers?
No. Our refrigerated trailers, display fridges, bottle coolers and chest freezers all run from a standard 240V mains socket. No three-phase power, no engineer, no special installation – just plug in and switch on.
Can refrigerated trailers cope with outdoor events on grass?
Yes. We have off-road vehicle dollies that let us position trailers on grass, gravel or uneven ground without needing hard-standing. The trailers are twin-axle for stability, and we can advise on the best setup for your site when you get in touch.
How far in advance should I book festival fridge hire?
As early as possible, especially for summer weekends. Peak festival season is May to September, and the most popular dates book up quickly. If you know your event date, contact us as soon as you can and we’ll reserve the kit you need.
What’s the difference between a chiller trailer and a freezer trailer?
Chiller (refrigerated) trailers run at 0°C to +5°C and are designed for fresh food, dairy, drinks and prepared dishes. Freezer trailers run at -18°C to -25°C for frozen stock, ice cream or long-term storage. We hire both, and you can read more in our guide to refrigerated trailer hire vs freezer trailer hire.
