Portable Freezer Rental in Calgary & Surrounding Areas
Mobile freezer space brought to restaurants, grocers, farms, caterers, job sites and events — no installation, no construction, no permanent footprint.
Quick answer
A portable freezer rental from I Got Chills is a mobile freezer trailer delivered to your site and connected to standard power. Units can be set for freezer operation to approximately -18°C and are available for short- or long-term rental across Calgary and surrounding communities.
Frozen Capacity Without Building Anything
Permanent freezer space is expensive and slow to add. A portable freezer rental solves the problem the other way around: the freezer comes to you, runs off a standard 115/120V dedicated 20-amp circuit, and leaves when you no longer need it.
Because the trailers are dual-purpose, the same unit can run as a freezer for a frozen-inventory project and as a cooler for the next booking. That flexibility matters when your requirement changes partway through a season or a project.
Choose the 7' × 8' unit for tighter lots and moderate volume, or the 7' × 12' unit when you're moving pallets, holding bulk frozen product, or supporting a multi-day event.
