WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ?​​​​​
Feature | Standard Refrigerated Trailer (Metal/Basic Insulation) | Mobile Igloos | Superior Fiberglass-Insulated | Mobile Igloos |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Exterior Material | Metal panels (aluminum or steel) with seams. | No | Seamless, molded high-impact fiberglass shell. | Yes |
Interior Surface | Metal or plastic liner, often with seams/rivets. | No | Smooth, seamless, hygienic fiberglass interior. | Yes |
Insulation Type | Lower-density foam or basic rigid panels inserted into walls. | No | High-density urethane/fiberglass core integrated into a single mold. | Yes |
Temperature Recovery | Slower to recover temperature after door openings; higher energy use. | No | Faster temperature recovery; better stability between frequent door openings. | Yes |

Durability | Prone to rust, dents, and corrosion over time. | No | Will not rust, corrode, dent, or rot. | Yes |
Cleaning | Requires careful cleaning around seams and rivets. | No | Easy to hose down; NSF-approved surface prevents bacteria growth. | Yes |

What is a Mobile Refrigerated Trailer?
A mobile refrigerated trailer is a portable, walk-in cooler or freezer that can be delivered directly to your location. It is an on-site, temporary cold storage unit that is ideal for catering events, festivals, kitchen renovations, seasonal business overflow, or emergency backup.
What sizes are available for rent?
Mobile Igloos sizes range from 6'x12' to 6'x16’. A variety of trailer sizes are offered to fit specific needs, from small units perfect for a backyard party to larger units for major festivals.
What are the power requirements?
These trailers run on electricity and typically require a standard 110V/15amp dedicated circuit to operate efficiently. This means a standard household or commercial outlet is all that has needed. The necessary extension cord is provided for setup. For remote locations without a power source, a generator can be provided for an additional fee.
Can the unit be used as a freezer?
Yes, the units can be set to operate as either a refrigerator or a freezer. With a digital thermostat, the temperature can be adjusted to precise needs, ranging anywhere from -5°F to 50°F.
Do you deliver and set-up the trailers?
Delivery and on-site setup are standard services. The trailer will be placed on a flat, stable surface, connected to power, and ensured it's running properly before leaving. Pickup is also handled when the rental period is over.
Can the trailer be moved once it has been delivered?
No. For safety and security, the trailers are rendered un-towable once they are in place. If the unit needs to be moved during the rental, contact the team to arrange for a professional relocation.
what duration can a trailer be rented for?
Flexible rental terms are offered, including daily, weekly, and monthly rates. Discounts are available for longer-term rentals. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons, to ensure availability.
How do I prepare my site for delivery?
-
Have a level, clear space large enough for the trailer.
-
Ensure access to a standard 110V/15 amp dedicated power outlet within 50–100 feet.
-
Have a clear pathway for the truck to access the setup area.
How is the trailer secured?
A padlock for the trailer doors is provided to keep products secure. The unit is also locked at the hitch upon delivery, so it cannot be moved.
What if I have a problem during my rental?
24/7 emergency support is available. If any problems are experienced with the rental, the team is just a phone call away to provide quick solutions and peace of mind.
What is the cleaning policy?
Trailers are delivered clean and sanitized and should be returned in the same condition. Simply remove products, clear out any trash, and give the interior a quick wipe-down to avoid additional cleaning fees.
