Maintain your business operating smoothly with our temperature-controlled trailers
We have several refrigerated trailers for hire in Derby and Derbyshire. While they’re often hired for event and festival use, they just as easily back up our other services as well.
If a customer’s walk-in freezer or chiller breaks down, we can position a trailer outside to keep them trading.
They also prove ideal when planning repairs to cold stores, as customers can hire a trailer while we carry out work such as floor replacements.
