The short answer is yes—you can stock drinks, ice, and ice cream in a refrigerated trailer. But here’s the catch: you can’t store all three in the same unit. Let’s break it down so your chilled goods stay cool and your frozen treats stay frosty.
Why Can’t They All Be Stored Together?
It all comes down to temperature needs. Drinks, ice, and ice cream have very different storage requirements:
- Drinks: Keep them chilled, but not frozen, at around 3–7°C (37–45°F).
- Ice and Ice Cream: These need freezing conditions, typically below -18°C (0°F).
If you try to store them together, you’ll end up with one of two disasters: frozen bottles of soda or melted ice cream. Not ideal, right?
What’s the Solution?
The good news is that you don’t have to choose between chilled drinks and frozen treats. Here are a couple of options to keep everything at the right temperature:
- Hire Two Refrigerated Trailers: Use one as a fridge for drinks and the other as a freezer for ice and ice cream.
- Mix and Match: If you have a smaller amount of ice and ice cream, consider hiring a chest freezer alongside a fridge trailer for maximum efficiency.
