What does CoolFleet Leasing rent?
CoolFleet Leasing rents and leases refrigerated trailers, reefer trailers, refrigerated semi trailers, and portable cold storage trailers for business use. Customers use them for on-site storage, over-the-road transportation, seasonal overflow, project work, facility needs, and emergency cold storage.
What is the difference between refrigerated trailer rental and reefer trailer leasing?
Refrigerated trailer rental usually fits shorter-term, seasonal, urgent, or project-based needs. Reefer trailer leasing is better for longer-term refrigerated capacity when a business needs trailer access for an extended period without purchasing additional equipment.
Can a refrigerated trailer be used for both storage and transportation?
Some refrigerated trailers are used for on-site cold storage and some are used for over-the-road refrigerated transportation. The right setup depends on trailer type, site conditions, power requirements, product needs, and the rental or lease arrangement.
Who normally rents refrigerated trailers?
Common customers include food distributors, grocery and retail food operators, beverage distributors, cold-chain carriers, private fleets, manufacturers, warehouses, event operators, restaurants, commercial kitchens, schools, institutions, and facility teams handling cooler or freezer projects.
Is CoolFleet Leasing the same as Transport Refrigeration?
CoolFleet Leasing is operated by Transport Refrigeration, Inc. d/b/a CoolFleet Leasing. Transport Refrigeration, Inc. is based in De Pere, Wisconsin, and brings transport refrigeration experience to the rental and leasing operation.
Portable Cold Storage
Temporary cooler space without guessing.
Refrigerated trailers can help when a cooler is full, a freezer is down, a facility is under construction, or a seasonal event needs temporary cold capacity.
Does CoolFleet Leasing offer portable cold storage?
Yes. CoolFleet Leasing provides portable cold storage using refrigerated trailers for temporary cooler space, freezer space, overflow inventory, facility projects, seasonal needs, events, and emergency storage.
Can a refrigerated trailer be used as a temporary cooler?
Yes. Refrigerated trailers are commonly used as temporary cooler space for inventory overflow, production changes, grocery storage, event storage, restaurant support, and facility projects. The right trailer depends on product temperature needs and site conditions.
Can a refrigerated trailer be used as a temporary freezer?
A refrigerated trailer may be able to support freezer applications depending on the trailer, refrigeration unit, ambient conditions, product requirements, and setup. Contact CoolFleet Leasing with the temperature range and product details so the request can be matched correctly.
Can a trailer support an event, fair, festival, or catering job?
Yes. Portable refrigerated trailers can support events, fairs, festivals, catering operations, venues, and temporary food storage needs. Site access, power, delivery timing, and product temperature should be reviewed before booking.
Can a trailer help if a walk-in cooler or freezer fails?
Yes. Refrigerated trailers are often used for emergency cold storage when a walk-in cooler, freezer, or facility refrigeration system fails. Availability, delivery, and setup depend on location, timing, and equipment.
What site information matters for portable cold storage?
Helpful site details include delivery address, site contact, surface type, parking space, loading access, dock or ground-level needs, power availability, expected product temperature, and how often staff will enter the trailer.
