When your business or event requires short-term cold storage, a temporary refrigerated trailer can be a game-changer. But what exactly can you store in one?
At Cool Movin Trailers, we’re often asked, “Can I store this in a mobile cooler?” Whether you’re handling food, floral arrangements, or pharmaceuticals, understanding what’s safe (and legal) to refrigerate is key to protecting your inventory and your bottom line.
Here’s what you can safely store in a refrigerated trailer:
Meats, Poultry & Seafood
Whether raw or cooked, protein items must be kept at food-safe temps (below 40°F) to prevent spoilage and bacterial growth. Our trailers are perfect for caterers, grocers, butchers, and processors who need mobile meat storage that complies with health standards.
Fresh Produce
Fruits and vegetables stay crisper and last longer in a consistent, temperature-controlled environment. Refrigerated trailers are ideal for farmers markets, produce distributors, or pop-up operations.
Dairy & Baked Goods
Butter, milk, cheese, and cream-based desserts need cool temps to stay fresh. Our trailers offer reliable, stable cooling that protects these sensitive items from spoilage.
Floral Arrangements
Fresh flowers wilt fast in the heat. Event planners, florists, and wedding venues love our trailers for keeping arrangements fresh on-site before showtime.
Medical Supplies & Pharmaceuticals
Some medications and lab materials require precise temperature control. We always recommend double-checking with compliance guidelines, but yes — our trailers can be used for certain types of temporary medical cold storage.
What Not to Store in a Refrigerated Trailer:
- Open containers of liquid or chemicals (risk of spills or contamination)
- People or animals (never safe or legal)
- Anything not rated for refrigerated conditions (electronics, furniture, etc.)
Safe, Reliable, and Flexible Cold Storage
If you need cold storage that goes where you go, a refrigerated trailer is a smart, scalable solution. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, managing inventory overflow, or handling emergency power outages, our trailers keep your goods protected and temperature-stable.
