Do I need to insure the mobile refrigeration trailer while on hire?

We include insurance cover within the hire price. However, we do ask that the trailer is located in a safe and secure location.

When will you deliver and collect the chiller trailer?

We will contact you two weeks prior to the hire date to arrange a mutually agreeable delivery and collection date for your refrigerated trailer. For a typical Saturday event we would deliver between Wednesday and Friday (to give time for the food or drink to chill) and collect on Monday.

How is the fridge or freezer trailer delivered?

We tow the refrigerated trailer behind a 4×4. Therefore please ensure adequate turning space for both 4×4 and the trailer.

I’ve been quoted a cheaper price for refrigeration hire. Can you match it?

Subject to availability we will endeavour to price match any like-for-like quotation.

Can the refrigerated trailer be positioned anywhere on site?

As long as the ground is flat and level and there is enough space for our 4×4 to deliver and turn around. We will do our best to place the trailer wherever you want it!

– The 3m unit has 9.5 cubic metres of internal capacity.
