Keep your business running smoothly with our refrigerated trailers
We have multiple refrigerated trailers available for hire. Although we hire out our cold rooms for events and festivals they complement our other services just as well.
If a customer has a walk-in chiller or freezer that breaks down, we can pull one of our trailers up outside to keep them trading.
They also come in very useful when planning repairs to cold stores, as customers can hire a trailer whilst we carry out work such as floor replacements.

Emergency and temporary cold storage in Birmingham
Temporary refrigerated storage trailers
If you need extra chilled capacity at short notice, our temporary refrigerated storage trailers provide a practical, on-site solution without the disruption of a permanent installation.
They’re ideal when your existing cold room is out of action, when demand spikes, or when you need to keep stock protected during planned works.
When your cold room is down
In the event of a breakdown or unexpected fault, a refrigerated storage trailer can act as immediate contingency space, helping you protect temperature-sensitive stock and keep operations moving while repairs are arranged.
Overflow storage during peak periods
Seasonal demand and busy trading periods can quickly outgrow your normal cold storage. Hiring a refrigerated storage trailer gives you extra capacity on demand, without reorganising your site or risking stock being held at the wrong temperature.
Support during planned refurbishments
If you’re carrying out upgrades such as cold room floor replacements, panel repairs, or general refurbishment work, a refrigerated storage trailer keeps your chilled stock secure while your main storage area is temporarily unavailable.
Common sectors we support
- Food manufacturing – short-term storage to maintain production flow
- Catering and events – additional chilled capacity for service and prep
- Retail and wholesale – peak-period overflow and contingency storage
