Quick answer
I Got Chills rents and delivers mobile commercial cold-storage trailers in the Calgary region. Restaurants, grocery stores, caterers and other businesses use them for urgent refrigeration breakdowns, planned equipment downtime and temporary inventory overflow. Request a cooler or freezer trailer and confirm availability with our team.
Emergency, Planned or Overflow: Which Rental Fits?
Every commercial rental uses the same dual-purpose trailers — 7' × 8' (about 275 cu. ft.) or 7' × 12' (about 588 cu. ft.), set as a cooler or a freezer. What changes is why you need it and how far ahead you can plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is commercial cold storage rental?
It is temporary chilled or frozen storage space for a business, supplied as a mobile refrigerated trailer delivered to your site. I Got Chills delivers, sets up and later picks up the trailer, so inventory stays on your property under your control.
Which businesses use mobile commercial cold storage?
Restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, caterers, food producers and distributors, and commercial refrigeration contractors arranging backup storage for a customer. Confirm suitability first for specialty, regulated or medical products.
Should I book an emergency or a planned rental?
If refrigeration has already failed, treat it as an emergency and call or text 403-463-4826 right away. If you know the dates of a renovation, equipment replacement or busy season, book ahead so a trailer can be reserved for your window.
Can one trailer run as a cooler and a freezer at the same time?
No. Each trailer runs at one setpoint at a time, within approximately -18°C to +4°C. If you need chilled and frozen storage simultaneously, ask about renting two units.
Can the trailer go in a restaurant parking lot or loading bay?
Usually, yes. The trailer needs a firm, reasonably level spot with clear access for delivery and a dedicated 115/120V 20-amp outlet within reach of the supplied extension cord. Share photos or a description of your site when you request availability.
How long can I rent commercial cold storage?
Rentals are offered by the day, week or month and can be extended subject to availability.
