FAQs

What sizes and types of refrigeration units do you rent?
There is a full range of box sizes to match your different projects. The smallest rental is a single door reach-in and our largest is a 53’ refrigerated semi-trailer. And there is plenty in between. Refrigerated cargo vans, 12’ & 16’ tow trailers. 20’ & 40’ ocean cargo containers, 28’ & 48’ trailers. Delivering the right size for the right job.

How much are they to rent?
Rental rates are by the day, week, and month. Rentals are based on a 24 hour clock, from the time it’s picked up, 7 day-week, 30 day- month. The longer the rental, the lower the average daily cost is. We would be happy to share our rental pricing with you. Simply call or e-mail us for a complete list of rental products, specifications, and rental rates.

Do you have any equipment for sale?
We currently don’t have any rental equipment available for sale. If you would prefer to own vs. rent, we can help you with the right purchase. No matter what is your preferred method of travel, there is a solution for it. We take the time to match up the box, chassis, and refrigeration unit to match your needs.

Do you need to make a reservation?
Yes it’s a good idea to have a reservation. Our peak season is April through October. It’s never too early to make a reservation. Some events book a year in advance. There is a $200.00 (non-refundable) reservation deposit. Your reservation deposit is applied to your rental. This deposit guarantees equipment availability for you, on the dates you need the equipment. If there is a need to cancel your reservation, simply let us know. The balance of the rental is paid in advance of the unit being rented.

How do you pay?
We accept: VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Personal and company checks, government and business purchase orders, trade credit on approval.

What do they run on?
Electricity. The beauty of it all is that most of the units only require 110 volt/20 AMP. That means just about anywhere you can get to a household outlet, they’ll work. We also carry units that run on 220 volt, gas generators, and diesel engines, and 3 phase power. Each rental trailer is equipped with a gas generator as “backup power”, making it self sufficient.

What are the power requirements?
12’ tow-trailers, cargo vans and reach-ins require: 110volt/20amp
16’ tandem axle trailer require: 220volt/30amp
20’ & 40’ shipping containers require: 3 phase (230 or 460) volts 50/amp
28’ to 53’ semi-trailers: run on diesel, and have a 50 gallon tank.

What temperatures can they maintain?
Chill or frozen are two basic temperature ranges we will see. Chill will be around +35 to +40 degrees. And most frozen products vary from -10 to +32 degrees. Our rentals can be coolers or freezers, you simply use the digital control box to set the temperature you want.

Do you provide temperature recording and monitoring?
Yes, we are an authorized re-seller for Northwrite. DegreeGuard is a wireless temperature recording and monitoring device that uploads data on the web for you to view. And alarms you by text or e-mail if the box is out of temperature range. Now you can have peace of mind and validation.

Are they lockable and safe?
Yes. We provide stainless steel padlocks for all exterior access doors. A coupler lock for the trailer, and a heavy duty wheel chock. All trailers also come with an interior worklight, an additional 110volt extension cord is required.

What are the trailer towing requirements?
The driver will need to provide a copy of their driver’s license and insurance card from the towing vehicle. You will need either a (2”) or (2” 5/16th) inch ball. The wiring harness for the trailer lights will be one of two styles, the flat four plug or the round 7 way plug. The trailer weights range from 1,500 to 2,500 lbs.

How do the beer trailers work?
Generally we work with the local beer distributors and coordinate larger events with their draft technicians. When renting a beer trailer, for private use, you will only need to provide the keg beer and a bottle of CO2. We provide the stainless steel serving trays, faucets and handles, beer lines, co2 lines, and keg tapers. You will receive the stainless steel serving trays that come mounted onto the side of the trailer. The trays can be mounted on either the passenger or driver’s side of the trailer. Each serving tray has 4 possible taps per tray. There are 12 possible taps on the driver’s side, and 8 possible taps on the passenger’s side.
