Cold storage that fits the space you already have

The 7×12 is the unit we rent most, and it earns that. 453 cubic feet of temperature-controlled volume sits on a footprint that parks in a normal space — no crane, no ramp, no crew. A front-mounted ARCTIC refrigeration unit holds −10°F to 50°F off a single 115V / 20A outlet, and the dual-axle running gear with electric brakes means it tows legally behind a half-ton pickup.

Full-height rear double doors open onto a diamond-plate ramp, and the clear strip curtain lets your crew load and unload all day without dumping the cold air. This is the base model — the shelving package comes standard with rentals but is not part of an outright purchase, and there's no custom interior build-out. The commercial 4-inch insulation and LED lighting, though, are standard on every unit, rented or sold. For most kitchens, clinics, and event crews that's exactly the right amount of trailer.

What You Get With the Base Model

Everything above is standard. Nothing here is an upsell.

Holds temperature in real heat

Four-inch commercial walls and an integral ARCTIC unit mean the interior holds from −10°F to 50°F through an Inland Empire summer afternoon, not just on the spec sheet.

Parks where a truck won't

A 12-foot box on a dual-axle frame fits a standard parking stall. Back it into a service alley, a side lot, or a hotel loading bay without closing the street.

Load it all day, stay cold

The full-height strip curtain lets forklifts and hand trucks pass through while keeping the cold air where it belongs. No propping the doors and paying for it overnight.

One ordinary outlet

115V / 20A. That's a standard dedicated circuit — the kind already in most kitchens, garages, and warehouse walls. No generator, no three-phase hookup, no electrician visit.

Road legal, immediately

Dual axles with electric brakes, DOT compliant and road-ready. Tow it behind a half-ton pickup, or let us deliver it and set it up for you.

Washed before it's yours

Every unit is sanitized and inspected between rentals, then plugged in and verified cold before it arrives. You get the trailer, not a project.

Configure Your 7×12

Side door and onboard generator are add-on options. Call to check what's on the lot for a rental, or spec them into a purchase.

7×12 base model refrigerated trailer with full-height rear double doors

Base — rear doors only

The standard build. Full-height rear double doors, diamond-plate ramp, strip curtain across the doorway.

Standard
7×12 refrigerated trailer with the curbside side door open

+ Curbside side door

A second full-height door on the curb side, with its own strip curtain. Choose it when the trailer sits against a wall or a narrow alley makes rear-only loading awkward.

Optional — ask us
Onboard generator mounted on the tongue of a 7×12 refrigerated trailer

+ Onboard generator

A generator mounted at the tongue runs the refrigeration unit with no shore power. Choose it for remote sites, open lots, and parade routes.

Optional — ask us

The unit on the front wall

The whole trailer is built around this. A stainless ARCTIC refrigeration unit mounts on the front wall rather than the roof, which keeps the overall height low enough for a standard garage door and puts the controls at chest height where your crew can actually reach them.

No roof-mounted condenser means nothing to snag on low clearances, and the entire 453 ft³ box stays square and usable — no evaporator housing eating into your shelf run.
