The hire
The customer in Halesworth needed reliable, extended cold storage for a commercial site. Rather than a short-term event hire, this was a long-term arrangement – the kind where the trailers stay on site for weeks or months, providing day-in, day-out refrigeration and freezer capacity.
We delivered two units from our Fundenhall depot near Norwich: a 3-metre walk-in fridge trailer and a matching 3-metre walk-in freezer trailer. Both are road-towable, fully insulated and run from a standard 240V mains socket, so there’s no special installation or engineer callout needed.
What we supplied
- One 3-metre walk-in refrigerated trailer (chilled storage, typically 0–5 °C)
- One 3-metre walk-in freezer trailer (frozen storage, typically -18 to -25 °C)
- Delivery and setup at the customer’s site in Halesworth
- GPS tracking and temperature monitoring via Trailer Sentry on both units
- Ongoing support and eventual collection when the hire period ends
Why long term fridge trailer hire works
Long term fridge trailer hire suits businesses that need extra cold storage for an extended period but don’t want the capital outlay of buying a permanent cold room or the hassle of planning permission and building work. It’s popular with butchers during peak seasons, farm shops managing harvest gluts, caterers with a busy summer diary, and food producers waiting for a new premises fit-out.
Both trailers we supplied are GPS-tracked, so the customer (and we) can monitor location and internal temperature remotely. That means peace of mind – if a door is left open or a compressor faults, an alert goes out immediately. For a hire measured in weeks or months, that kind of oversight is invaluable.
Because the units run from a standard 13-amp socket, setup is straightforward: park, plug in, set the temperature and you’re ready to load. There’s no refrigerant pipework to commission and no F-Gas engineer required on site, which keeps both cost and lead time down.
