Walk-In Cool Room Trailer

A cool room trailer differs from a chiller trailer in one way that changes everything: you walk into this one. A chiller is loaded from outside and works as cold transport. A walk-in is a room you work in, at full standing height, which makes it the answer for a caterer staging a function, a venue needing cold capacity for one weekend a year, or a hire company whose customers want a cold room without calling a builder.

Build and construction

The enclosure is full-height insulated panel on a road-legal galvanised steel trailer frame, with corner stabiliser jacks and LED road lighting. Panels are polyurethane injected sandwich construction at 75 mm, cool-storage grade. The walk-in door is heavy-duty insulated on a cam lock with a full perimeter magnetic gasket seal. Interior is smooth white hygienic lining with an insulated white ceiling panel, a commercial-grade non-slip aluminium checker plate floor and an internal drain, so the whole room hoses out between hires.

Key features

• Interior safety release handle — the door cannot lock a person inside. On a sealed insulated enclosure that people walk into, this is not a convenience feature, and it is the first thing worth checking on any walk-in unit you are quoted, from us or anyone else.
• Full standing height interior — staff work inside rather than reaching in, which is the entire difference between this and a chiller body.
• 75 mm polyurethane panels — cool-storage grade, keeping the condensing unit cycling rather than running flat out through a summer afternoon.
• Smooth white hygienic lining and internal floor drain — designed to be washed down between bookings, which is what makes it viable as a hire asset rather than a one-customer unit.
• External digital temperature readout — check the room without opening the door and warming it.
• High-temperature audible alarm — tells you a door has been left open while the stock is still saveable.
• Roof or side mounted condensing unit — with an external air-cooled condenser and an internal roof-mounted evaporator fan coil, so heat is rejected outside the insulated envelope.

Applications

Wedding and function catering, festival and sports event cold storage, wine and beverage staging, farm stall and market overflow, restaurant refurbishment cover while a fixed cold room is out of service, floristry, and hire fleets serving all of the above. It is also bought by venues that need cold capacity a handful of weekends a year and cannot justify building a room for it.

Compliance and legal

Rated at 1 500 kg GVM, so it is a registered and licensed braked trailer. Confirm your tow vehicle rated braked towing capacity before purchase. If you are storing food commercially, the transport of perishable foodstuffs regulations under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act govern surfaces, cleanability and temperature records. The hygienic lining, the drain and the external readout make compliance achievable; the record keeping is yours. Tare mass is not published by the supplier and is required for licensing.
