Introduction: The Power of On-Site Mobile Cold Storage
When you need reliable climate controlled storage for perishable items, traditional off-site storage might not be your best bet. Instead, consider the flexible, on-site solutions that bring the exact climate conditions you need directly to you.
Here's a quick look at what we mean by specialized climate-controlled storage:
- What is it? It's a precise storage environment that actively controls temperature to maintain cold or frozen conditions for highly sensitive items like food, beverages, flowers, or medical supplies.
- What temperatures are maintained? These specialized units, like Icebox's mobile refrigerated and freezer trailers, maintain a consistent temperature range, typically from 42°F for refrigeration down to -10°F for freezing.
- Does it control humidity? While the primary focus is temperature, the cold environment in these units naturally helps to regulate humidity, preventing spoilage and maintaining product integrity for many perishable goods.
- Who uses it? Event planners, caterers, restaurants, and businesses needing temporary, on-site cold storage for seasonal overflow, emergencies, or special events.
Your Guide to Mobile Climate Controlled Storage Solutions
For many businesses and events, the term "climate controlled storage" goes far beyond simply keeping things at room temperature. It means having precise control over the environment to protect highly sensitive and valuable inventory. This is where our specialized mobile refrigeration and freezer trailers truly shine, offering a custom solution that traditional storage units simply can't match.
Understanding Mobile Climate Controlled Storage: Temperature, Humidity, and More
When we talk about climate controlled storage for perishable goods, we mean maintaining a stable environment with precise temperature control. Unlike general "temperature-controlled" units that operate between 55°F and 85°F, our mobile trailers are designed for true cold and freezing needs.
Our mobile refrigerated trailers maintain temperatures from 25°F to 41°F, while our freezer trailers can go as low as -20°F (with a common range of 0°F to 41°F). This precision is vital for items like meat, seafood, or pharmaceuticals, which require specific temperatures to prevent spoilage and maintain safety, as recommended by food safety experts like the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
The cold environment in our units also naturally manages humidity. By keeping temperatures low, the air holds less moisture, which helps prevent condensation, mold, and mildew. This built-in humidity regulation is key to protecting your inventory from moisture-related damage.
