Refrigeration, Trailer Rental & Delivery FAQs

A refrigerated trailer is an insulated mobile storage unit equipped with an electric refrigeration system. It provides controlled cold storage at a temporary location without requiring construction of a permanent walk-in cooler or freezer.

Businesses rent refrigerated trailers for restaurant cooler repairs, inventory overflow, catering, festivals, food distribution, kitchen renovations, emergency refrigeration and seasonal demand. Request a refrigerated trailer quote.

Both use insulated trailer bodies and temperature-control equipment. A refrigerated trailer is configured for chilled storage, while a freezer-capable trailer is configured to maintain lower temperatures for already-frozen inventory.

So Iccy's advertised trailer equipment has an operating range of approximately 0°F to 50°F, depending on the unit and conditions. Tell us your required temperature before booking. A trailer designed to maintain frozen products should not be assumed to rapidly freeze warm inventory.

So Iccy offers compact mobile refrigerated trailer options including approximately 8-foot, 12-foot and 16-foot configurations. Available equipment varies by location and rental dates.

The commonly advertised 6′ × 12′ rental unit provides approximately 500 cubic feet of storage. For larger quantities, tell us the dimensions, pallet count, product weight and required loading access so we can recommend appropriate equipment.

Storage capacity depends on the assigned trailer, product packaging, shelving, pallet dimensions, weight and airflow clearance. So Iccy's rental equipment includes compact configurations suited to temporary commercial storage.

Do not calculate usable storage using cubic footage alone. Refrigeration systems need airflow, and door access must remain clear. For palletized products, provide your pallet count, individual pallet dimensions and approximate total weight.

Yes. A refrigerated trailer can provide temporary cold-storage capacity while a restaurant's permanent walk-in cooler or freezer is repaired, serviced or replaced.

The replacement equipment must have adequate capacity and maintain the temperatures required for the products. Call So Iccy as early as possible and provide your location, inventory quantity, target temperature, site power and expected repair timeline. Explore emergency refrigeration.

Yes. Refrigerated trailers can provide on-site cold storage for catered food, beverages, ingredients, desserts and vendor supplies before, during and after an event.

For outdoor events, confirm the parking surface, power supply, trailer access, delivery restrictions and event setup schedule. For bagged ice distribution, you may also need separate freezer storage or an approved freezer-capable trailer.

So Iccy's published base rates for a qualifying 6′ × 12′ refrigerated trailer start at $275 for one day, $750 for three days, $1,575 for seven days and $3,000 for a monthly package.

These are equipment base rates, not all-inclusive prices. Mandatory rental protection, refundable deposit, applicable delivery charges, generator rental, taxes and other services may be additional. Confirm the final price before reserving.

Yes. So Iccy advertises a one-day rental option without a multi-day minimum for qualifying equipment. A single-day rental may be useful for catering, food deliveries, events and temporary overflow. Your dates and delivery arrangements must be confirmed.

Yes. Seven separate daily base charges at $275 would total $1,925. The advertised seven-day package costs $1,575, a difference of $350 before additional fees. The weekly option is usually better suited to projects requiring an entire week of cold storage.

Not necessarily. The advertised price represents the base equipment rental. So Iccy's current rental information lists a mandatory protection charge of 10% of the equipment rental price and a refundable cleaning/damage deposit.

Delivery charges may vary by distance, and generators, fuel, taxes or special services may add to the total. The refundable deposit amount is confirmed in the quote and rental agreement.

Start by completing the refrigerated trailer rental quote form. Include your delivery address, requested dates, product type, temperature, equipment needs and power availability.

So Iccy then reviews equipment and delivery availability, provides applicable pricing and rental terms, and explains the steps required to confirm the reservation. Submitting the request form does not reserve equipment.

Extensions may be possible if the trailer is not committed to another reservation. Contact So Iccy before your current rental ends to request an extension. Additional rates and renewal conditions must be confirmed.

So Iccy's commonly advertised electric rental unit requires a suitable 110V/120V, 20-amp electrical circuit. A 50-foot power cord is supplied with the advertised unit. Power requirements can vary with specific equipment, so confirm the assigned unit's specifications before delivery.

Use a properly installed, compatible electrical connection. Do not assume every outlet or extension cord will safely support continuous refrigeration operation.

Yes, an approved generator may be available for locations without suitable electrical power. Generator rental, fuel, servicing and refueling charges are separate from the trailer base rental unless specifically included in the confirmed quote.

So Iccy's published policy does not permit customers to use their own generators with rental trailers. Confirm generator requirements during the quote process.

Yes. So Iccy handles trailer delivery and pickup for its rental equipment, subject to confirmed service arrangements. Setup includes positioning, leveling and securing the trailer, along with initial operating guidance.

Any applicable delivery surcharge depends on location, travel distance and scheduling.

No. Customer pickup, towing and relocation are not permitted under So Iccy's published rental policy. Contact So Iccy if a trailer needs to be repositioned or moved to another location.

The time needed depends on the starting temperature, outside conditions, setpoint, door activity and products being loaded. Equipment setup and reaching a safe product-storage temperature are not the same thing.

Confirm that the unit has reached the required temperature before storing temperature-sensitive products, and do not rely on the trailer to rapidly chill improperly stored or warm inventory.

The customer should monitor operating temperatures, electrical power, door closure and the condition of stored products throughout the rental. Follow any required temperature-logging procedures for your business or regulated inventory.

Report power failures, abnormal temperatures or equipment problems to So Iccy promptly. Discuss any available monitoring equipment and service responsibilities before booking.

Protect your inventory first. Keep cooler or freezer doors closed as much as possible, monitor product temperatures, document the equipment failure and follow applicable food-safety procedures.

Contact your refrigeration technician and call So Iccy to discuss temporary cold-storage equipment. Have your address, estimated product quantity, required temperature, available power and expected rental duration ready.

Do not assume food is safe merely because it is moved into another cooler. Follow applicable safety guidance and discard products when required.
