Icecool Trailers has more than two decades experience providing trailer and cold room storage to meet temporary needs. We are proud of our history yet ever cognisant of the fact that past successes offer only limited benefits for meeting current needs. We must constantly strive to serve our customers according to what they need in the moment, not based on what our industry was like in the past.

The Daily Mail published a story on 26th February detailing a number of brides who sued their caterer after he delivered food not befitting the day being celebrated. That got us to thinking. There are lots of ways to create a wedding day nightmare by serving bad food. Not having adequate refrigeration is one of those ways.

We have previously published blog posts talking about some of the more unusual ways we put fridge trailer hire to use for our customers. Those posts have garnered such a good response that we want to keep them going. So this week's post offers you even more unusual uses for our trailers and walk-in cold rooms.

The Telegraph ran an interesting piece on 13th February discussing how weddings in the UK look to be more quirky than traditional in 2018. That's fine by us. From our perspective, fridge trailer hire was made for quirky weddings in the strangest locations. And compared to refrigerated van hire, well, there is just no comparison. Refrigerated trailers win every time.

During the early hours of 24th July 2017, food items stored in the chillers of a Welwyn Garden City supermarket began to warm up. That's because the supermarket's chillers stopped working. By the time staff arrived to begin their shifts, it was obvious that what couldn't be saved by moving it to temporary cold storage out back would have to be disposed of.

As of the date of this writing, we are at the end of January (2018). That means farmers who grow asparagus have just about eight weeks to get ready for the start of the annual British asparagus season. If you are a producer, do not wait until March to start planning for your chiller hire. Make your plans now to ensure you will have a unit when you need it.
