• We have seen a lot over the past 12 years with
  portable refrigerated trailers. As the name
  implies there really are two key ingredients
  involved here, the refrigeration and the trailer.
  We have seen some folks get part of it right
  while most fail at both aspects when designing
  and building a small refrigerated trailers. Let's
  start with the trailer. This is the foundation of
  everything we do. The regular cargo- enclosed
  trailer industry has changed over the years so
  much and they are cutting out the strength and
  durability we require for refrigerated trailers.
  It is important not to just get a trailer off the
  lot and try this at home like so many we see out
  there today. fridge trailer hire is an excellent
  resource for this.

• Quality built refrigerated trailers should have
  Single Piece Aluminum roof, 16" O.C. steel tube
  walls, steel tube roof, steel tube framed rear
  doors (not plywood w/ aluminum skin), triple tube
  tongue, L.E.D. lights, sub floor for superior
  insulation with aluminum underbelly, load D or
  greater tires for better stability, no wood
  framing or wood walls/ceiling (lighter stronger
  with no mold or mildew issues). Reinforced front
  nose for refrigeration unit. Extended tongue with
  mounts for generator. Should be specifically
  built to be refrigerated trailers and built with
  strength and durability in mind. Please check out
  how important it is to use a trailer made of
  steel tube instead of z-post or hat post.

• We have even seen folks taking walk in coolers
  and putting them on a flat bed trailer. Be
  careful as many of these structures are not
  D.O.T. approved and you can be fined or even
  worse injure someone. Use common sense, walk in
  coolers are great for sitting inside or outside a
  building but they are not designed for the rigors
  of the road going up and down and side to side,
  they offer no structural support. Refrigerated
  trailer is one of the authority sites on this
  topic.

• The refrigeration is just as important and you
  definitely want to get this part right. The ideal
  solution for businesses is a unit that can be
  used as either a cooler or a freezer. Please make
  sure that even if you are purchasing a cooler
  that the refrigeration system has a defrost
  capability and preferably hot gas defrost. I
  mention this because so many folks find out the
  hard way that if you want your trailer to stay at
  35 degrees then your evaporator has to be 12- 15
  degrees cooler than that to maintain your
  temperature. Well it may take 12 hours or 24
  hours but eventually you are going to get an ice
  build up on your coil and you will need a way to
  defrost it or else lose your product. Do you want

• Standard refrigeration units that have hot gas
  defrost are the most effective and fast way to
  defrost a system. The use of standard
  refrigeration will save you a bundle in repair
  and maintenance cost alone. We also recommend
  modifying your refrigeration system for
  transportation and do not use copper to connect
  the evaporator coil to condenser coil. Copper is
  a soft metal and will break easily. Hopefully
  these tips serve you well in your search for
  refrigerated trailers to purchase or rent.
