Refrigerated Trailer Rental in Calgary & Surrounding Areas
Mobile cooler and freezer trailers delivered, positioned and connected at your site — for emergency breakdowns, renovations, seasonal overflow and events.
Quick answer
A refrigerated trailer rental from I Got Chills is a dual-purpose mobile cooler or freezer, delivered to your Calgary-area location and set up on site. Units operate at approximately -18°C to +4°C and are available for short- or long-term rental, subject to availability.
Cold Storage That Comes to Your Site
When your building can't hold the product you need to keep cold, a refrigerated trailer gives you insulated, temperature-controlled space in your parking lot, yard, loading area or event grounds. The unit arrives ready to run: you plug it into a suitable power supply, set the thermostat and start loading.
I Got Chills operates two dual-purpose trailers — a 7' × 8' with roughly 275 cubic feet of internal storage and a 7' × 12' with roughly 588 cubic feet. Both can be operated as a cooler or a freezer within a published range of approximately -18°C to +4°C, so a single unit can cover chilled produce one week and frozen inventory the next.
Rentals are booked around your timeline. A restaurant waiting on a compressor part may need three days. A grocery renovation may need six weeks. A festival may need a weekend. Tell us the window and we'll confirm what's available.

Frequently asked questions
What is a refrigerated trailer rental?
A refrigerated trailer rental is a self-contained, insulated mobile cold-storage unit delivered to your site and connected to power. It gives you chilled or frozen storage outside your building for as long as the rental runs.
Can the trailer be used as a cooler or a freezer?
Yes. Both I Got Chills trailers are dual-purpose, with a published operating range of approximately -18°C to +4°C. Confirm your required temperature when you request availability.
How long can I rent a refrigerated trailer?
Rentals run from a single day through to long-term arrangements. Tell us your start date and expected duration and availability will be confirmed for that window.
Where can the trailer be placed?
The trailer needs a firm, reasonably level surface with clear delivery access and a suitable power connection nearby. Parking lots, loading areas, yards and event grounds are common placements.
Do you deliver the refrigerated trailer?
Yes. I Got Chills delivers, positions and later picks up the trailer. Customers should not tow or relocate the trailer themselves.
