Mobile Cooler Trailer

A mobile cooler trailer is a portable cold storage that stores perishable goods at a consistent temperature, It is equipped with a thermally insulated structure, and refrigeration units that regulate the temperature and humidity inside the trailer, maintain the quality and safety of a wide range of temperature-sensitive products such as food, vegetables, fruits, meat, dairy products, beverages, medicines and pharmaceuticals. Also, these cost-effective and energy-efficient refrigerated trailers have become essential for the day-to-day supply chain operations as they help food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ship, transport and distribute perishable goods across vast distances. Mobile cooler trailer is also referred to as mobile walk-in cooler, mobile refrigeration trailer, portable fridge cooler, portable freezer trailer, freezer & cooler trailer, and cold room trailer.

Mobile cooler trailer is mainly designed to keep products fresh at a constant temperature, extend the shelf life, and save money. Common mobile cooler trailer applications include:

Food, Perishable meat, Seafood, Poultry, Fresh and frozen Fruits, Vegetables, Milk, Dairy products and Frozen desserts.

Mobile Restaurants and Mobile Food Businesses.

Farming, Agriculture & Ranch Storage Produce.

Outdoor Events, Fairs, Caterers, Hotels, Restaurants, Hospitals, and Wedding planners. 

Breweries & Distilleries, Wineries & Vineyards, alcoholic or non-alcoholic chilled beverages.

Pharmaceuticals, Medical products, Vaccines, & Biomedical.

Chemical Supply & Manufacturing.

Florists & Flower Distributors.

Cold refrigerated trailers provide refrigeration, chilling and freezing to “perishable” or “temperature-sensitive” products when and where needed, this road safe mobile refrigerator is designed to deliver fresh goods to the desired location, this makes them excellent for cold chain logistics, and cold storage of products such as food & beverage, seafood, meat & dairy, thanks to the refrigeration unit and insulated structure which resist heavy road use and keep cold products at a stable temperature while it delivers cold products to various local and regional destinations.

Mobile cooler trailers can be fully customized to meet various industry refrigeration requirements in terms of thermal performance, temperature, reliability, safety, and resistance to different environmental factors such as moisture intrusion and humidity. However, to meet customer’s unique needs, mobile cooler trailers come in different shapes, sizes, features and custom options: 

Temperature: refrigerated +0° to +50°, freezer trailers -10° to +50°.

Type: dual cooler/freezer trailers, Mobile Walk-in Room, Portable Walk-in Trailer, Refrigerated Trucks or Reefer Trailers, Refrigerated Cargo Trailer, Thermo Trailer, etc. 

Material: insulated sandwich panels, galvanized frames, and deep heavy-duty aluminium duct floor.

Features: Custom Finishes, Retractable Step, Double Doors, Loading Ramp, Beverage Tappers, Gas/Diesel Generators, IoT devices for temperature tracking systems for cold transporting, and other OEM refrigerated model features.

A mobile cooler trailer comprises a cooling system, an evaporator, a condenser, and a compressor, this cooling system is powered by either an electric motor or a diesel engine, however, while the evaporator is used to draw heat out, the condenser exchanges and releases the heat into the outside air and the compressor squeezes the refrigeration gas compressor and circulates coolant between the evaporator and condenser to complete the cooling process.

Mobile cooler trailer is designed to offer an R-value of 7.14 per inch, due to the insulation material performance, moisture resistance, air/water tightness, tightly-sealed doors, and lightweight, this thermally resistant refrigeration trailer can prevent the loss of thermal efficiency, and maintain a constant temperature over a long distance. The most commonly used insulated panels are the following:

Fiberglass Insulation

Polyurethane Insulated Panel 

Polyisocyanurate Rigid Foam Insulation

Fiberglass-reinforced panels (FRPs)

Extrude Polystyrene Sandwich Panel

Cold Storage Panel

Urethane Foam

A mobile cooler trailer is hooked up to a power supply of 13-amp or 16-amp power supply, however, in case electricity power is not available, a portable generator or a small generator of (min 5kva) can achieve the same output, and can be powered either by an electric motor or a diesel engine.

A mobile cooler trailer is the most energy-efficient and economical cold storage solution, however, powering a mobile cooler trailer with electricity is more economical than a diesel generator which transforms the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Also, due to the highly efficient cooling system, thermally resistant insulation, waterproof material, and airtight design, mobile cooler trailers can save energy and money.

Mobile cooler trailers are completely mobile and can be placed practically anywhere on a surface like concrete floor, decking, a dry level land, or a field, however, to ensure a correct placement, it is recommended to choose an open and level area that ensure a stable placement, and where staff and attendees can easily access it. Also, to start the cooling process, the mobile cooler trailer should be plugged into a 110v, 20amp dedicated circuit, or a portable generator.
