How to Choose the Right Refrigerated Trailer
Whether you're planning a wedding, running a catering event or looking for additional cold storage for your business, choosing the right refrigerated trailer can make all the difference.
The best option depends on what you're storing, how much space you need and whether you require chilled, frozen or split-temperature storage.
At STR, we offer a range of refrigerated trailer hire options to suit different requirements, helping customers across Sussex, Kent and Surrey keep products at the correct temperature.

How Much Refrigeration Space Do You Actually Need?
The amount of refrigeration space you need will depend on both the type and quantity of products being stored.
Requirements can vary significantly between events and businesses. For example, a refrigerated trailer used for a family celebration or small wedding may require less storage space than one supporting a large festival, busy catering operation, hotel or restaurant.
It's also worth considering whether you need chilled storage, frozen storage or a combination of both. Customers storing a variety of products often find that a split chill and freezer trailer provides the flexibility they need within a single refrigeration unit.
