What size refrigerated trailer do I need?

Quick answer

For most parties, small events and single walk-in cooler emergencies, a 7’×12’ is enough. Choose a 7’×14’ for larger events, multi-day catering or extra restaurant capacity. Choose a 7’×16’ for high-volume commercial storage, large-scale events and major breakdowns. All three can refrigerate or freeze.

Four questions that decide the size

  1. What are you storing? Cases and kegs pack tightly. Sheet pans, cakes and flower arrangements need shelf space and room to move.
  2. How much, compared with what you have now? If you’re replacing a walk-in, think in walk-ins. One cooler’s worth is a different job from a whole kitchen’s.
  3. For how long? Longer rentals tend to accumulate more product. Size up if the trailer will become your main storage for weeks.
  4. Where will it park? A smaller trailer is easier to place at tight locations.

Questions we hear a lot

Can every size be used as a freezer?

A 7’×14’ is a popular choice for weddings; one caterer used it for a two-day outdoor wedding. Smaller parties often fit a 7’×12’.

Which size replaces a broken walk-in cooler?

A 7’×12’ is built for single walk-in emergencies. Kitchens that need more room or longer coverage usually choose a 7’×14’, and major breakdowns call for a 7’×16’.
