Refrigerated Trailer Rental FAQ – Michigan Edition
When you need reliable, on-site cold storage in Michigan, renting a refrigerated trailer is the smart choice.
Whether you’re managing an event, handling a restaurant emergency, or need temporary cold storage for your business, Cool Cubes delivers dependable, food-safe refrigeration anywhere in the state.
Below are answers to the most common questions people ask before booking a portable freezer or refrigerated trailer rental in Michigan.
❄️ What Is a Refrigerated Trailer?
A refrigerated trailer — also called a cold room trailer rental, portable refrigeration unit rental, or cooler trailer rental — is a mobile cold-storage solution that functions like a walk-in cooler but can be delivered directly to your location.
Each Cool Cubes trailer uses the Kingtec KSH120 refrigeration system for quiet, efficient, and consistent cooling.
Common uses:
-
🍽 Catering and food-service events
-
🏪 Restaurants or grocery stores during equipment repair
-
⚡ Emergency refrigeration or power outages
-
🌸 Floral or beverage storage during peak seasons
🌡️ What Temperatures Can It Maintain?
Our trailers maintain precise temperatures between -10 °F and +45 °F, giving you flexibility for both chilled and frozen goods.
You can use the same trailer as a freezer trailer rental or cold storage trailer rental simply by adjusting the thermostat.
The Kingtec KSH120 system automatically regulates temperature, making it perfect for long-term or overnight use.
⚡ How Are the Trailers Powered?
Every trailer operates on a standard 115 V / 15 A outlet — the same as a heavy-duty appliance.
If power isn’t available, a compatible generator can be used for continuous operation.
Setup is quick:
-
Park the trailer on level ground.
-
Plug it into your outlet or generator.
-
Allow 25–30 minutes for pre-cooling before loading.
🚚 Do You Deliver Across Michigan?
Yes! Cool Cubes provides mobile cold-storage rentals throughout Michigan, including Detroit, Sterling Heights, Ann Arbor, and Lansing.
Our team handles delivery, setup, leveling, and temperature verification before hand-off — you simply load your goods.
🧼 Are the Trailers Clean and Food-Safe?
Absolutely. Each Cool Cubes unit is fully sanitized and disinfected after every rental using food-grade cleaning products.
While our trailers aren’t NSF-certified, they meet Michigan’s standards for storing food, beverages, and perishables safely.
💰 How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Refrigerated Trailer?
Pricing varies by trailer size, rental length, and delivery distance, but typical rates are:
-
💵 $150 – $250 per day
-
💵 $700 – $1,200 per week
All rentals include delivery, setup, and post-rental cleaning.
Long-term or multi-unit rentals are available upon request.
🧊 What Can I Store Inside a Refrigerated Trailer?
Our trailers handle nearly any temperature-sensitive product, including:
-
Meats, seafood, and dairy
-
Beverages and frozen desserts
-
Flowers, plants, and specialty produce
-
Prepared catering trays
-
Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
In short: if it needs to stay cold, a portable freezer trailer is your safest, simplest solution.
