Fridge Trailer Rental: Things to Think About
For almost any catered event, a rented fridge trailer can be worked successfully into an operation plan. Available from Icecool Trailers in a number of sizes, a fridge trailer rental service prioritises adaptability and readiness, suiting it to both prepared catering plans as well as quick response to catering emergencies. Before renting a fridge trailer however, there are a number of things to consider.
In an Emergency
Very often, refrigeration provision at a catered event can break down at a potentially serious cost to business. If you find yourself in this position, emergency fridge trailer hire is certainly the best option for ameliorating the problems this situation can cause. Fortunately, the key things to think about here are twofold and fairly straightforward: can a fridge trailer be easily incorporated into your venue site, and how long will it take to arrive? Icecool Trailers provide a number of trailers in various sizes, and all prioritise adaptability.
Accordingly, a fridge trailer can be set up at the rear of a building, if your event is indoors, or on any fairly even surface outside. Leads are provided to hook the trailers up to a power supply. If there is a building nearby, power outlets will be sufficient but if not, generators can be used. If fridge trailers are required urgently to prevent food spoilage, Icecool Trailers will endeavour to deliver and set-up the trailer the same day, often within a few hours if within the Greater London area. This service is available for all of our fridge trailer sizes.
Compared with Buying
If you or your company hold regular catered events at no fixed location, you might well wonder if buying a fridge trailer would be a better option than renting. The benefits of having your own portable refrigeration capability may appear attractive. However, analysis of the costs involves show that this is usually not the case. Costs on your part when owning a fridge trailer include transport to locations, additional powering equipment, storage and, most importantly of all, upkeep. When renting one of these trailers from us, you have a guarantee of peak condition. Fridge trailers breaking down on the job requires additional work on our end and incur the costs of short notice replacement. Therefore, we endeavour to keep our units in peak condition. Having the delivery and set-up handled by our experts can save you a logistical headache as well.
Compared to Refrigerated Van Hire
The primary alternative to a fridge trailer is usually refrigerated van hire. There are a number of costs and practical issues, however, which a fridge trailer can eliminate. Compared to refrigerated van hire, a fridge trailer will require no additional driver, no insurance, and no fuel. The savings made here alone are impressive. The risks of running out of fuel or breaking down are also eliminated when you hire a fridge trailer as an alternative to refrigerated van hire, solving a handful of practical issues which can potentially derail your operations.
