Emergency cold storage appears on the minds of many this time of year. We have experienced more calamities over the years and the need to have an emergency cold storage plan in place for your business is imperative. Hurricane, tornado and severe storm season are upon us and the time to have a plan in place for your emergency cold storage is here. Just ask any local restaurant if they were prepared for their walk in cooler or freezer to breakdown. Many businesses could not survive a loss of $20,000 plus dollars of product stored in their walk in coolers and freezers. Most recently, Cooler Trailers were on the scene at Joplin, Tuscaloosa, New York and other catastrophic areas in a relief and temporary cold storage effort. The importance of cold storage is also critical to those that need to keep vaccines, medications and other medicinal products. Could your business or you survive an extended power outage. We get calls from FEMA to local municipalities in times of crisis. Don’t wait til then, usually it is too late. For more info on how we can help check out http://www.coolertrailers.com.

Superior built refrigerated trailers yep right down to the axles. To the untrained eye an axle is an axle but to those that know the importance it’s a huge part of the total package. For example in my industry everyone else uses 3500 lbs axles while we use 5200 lbs drop axles. What that simply means is that Cooler Trailers can literally haul a ton and a half (or 3000 lbs.) more product than other trailers.
We use drop axles to give us easy ground entry into trailer in fact 19′′ up into our cooler trailers just like a step of stairs at home. We also put electric brakes on both axles to ensure that when you need to stop with all that product you can stop, it’s that simple. Axles play an important role in what and how much you can ultimately haul in your freezer or refrigerated trailer and should also play a role in your decision as to how you plan to use yours.
For example, Our 7×12 trailers can haul up to 8000 lbs with the appropriate vehicle. Although any 1/2 ton vehicle can pull our trailers to maximize the load capacity we recommend a 3/4 ton vehicle or more. Most 1/2 ton vehicles can still haul around 2500 lbs plus the trailer weight.
If you transport, distribute and store frozen or refrigerated products then check out http://www.coolertrailers.com and discover how we can help your business starting today. Axles may not be glamorous but they are an important piece to a superior built freezer or refrigerated trailers from Cooler Trailers.
I have been getting a lot of questions from a previous video we did on transport refrigeration and how you could save $100/hr on a technician so I wanted to clarify that for folks here. Our one piece 110 volt refrigeration unit is made from standard parts that can be serviced and maintained by any basic refrigeration service tech and best of all parts can be purchased at your local service facility. With other transport refrigeration equipment you are held hostage by a specialist for repairs and pay their high repair parts cost.
For example in our local area here in Ormond Beach, Florida the closest specialist to work on other transport products I have to call either Orlando or Jacksonville, both an hour away in different directions and going rate here in 2015 for them is in the $175-225/ hr range. For any basic refrigeration technician in my backyard the rate is $75/ hr. That’s a savings of $100/ hr plus they are in my area so I don’t need to travel to them and that’s huge when it comes to repairs or maintenance.
So who is our one piece 110 volt freezer cooler unit good for. We install our refrigeration units on 12′ insulated trailers that are capable of 10-50 degrees Fahrenheit with loads up to 8000 lbs. That really is the max size for the 110 volt unit. We have bigger units and trailers for more info visit us at http://www.coolertrailers.com The transport refrigeration unit is only half the battle but an important one and any time you can save $100/ hr on a transport refrigeration technician we think you should know about it.
