FAQs
Equipment
Do your units make a lot of noise?

Are the Refrigerated Trailers secure?
Yes. Once the Refrigerated Trailer is delivered and positioned on-site, customers may place their own lock on the rear door for controlled access.
Are the Refrigerated Trailers water resistant?
Yes. All Refrigerated Trailers are designed to operate in outdoor environments and are water resistant.
Can the trailers operate as a cooler or freezer?
Yes. Our Refrigerated Trailers operate from 0°F to 50°F.
