Here are some common questions and queries
about our mobile refrigerated trailer hire services answered for you….
1. What is mobile fridge trailer hire?
Mobile fridge trailer hire is the rental of a self-contained, towable refrigerated unit that’s delivered to your home, business or event site, plugged into a standard power supply, and used to store food and drink at a controlled temperature for as long as you need it. 3 Diamond Fridge Hire delivers, sets up and collects the trailer, so there’s no driving or handling required from the hirer.
2. What sizes of fridge trailer are available?
3 Diamond Fridge Hire offers refrigerated trailers in two sizes: 6.5 cubic metres and 10 cubic metres, with up to 20 metres of internal shelving depending on the model. The smaller trailers are compact enough to sit discreetly alongside a marquee or building, while the larger units suit bigger events or commercial volumes.
3. What power supply does a fridge trailer need?
The trailers run off a standard 13-amp single-phase domestic power supply, the same as a normal household socket. This means most homes, venues and event sites can power a unit without needing a generator or specialist electrical setup.
4. Do you offer freezer trailers as well as fridge trailers?
Yes, 3 Diamond Fridge Hire supplies mobile freezer trailers alongside its fridge trailers, giving customers a low-cost alternative to hiring a fridge or freezer van. Both are delivered and collected, so freezing and chilling needs can be covered from the same supplier.
5. What areas does 3 Diamond Fridge Hire cover?
3 Diamond Fridge Hire covers East Anglia and London, delivering and collecting trailers throughout the region. The company is based at Little Renters Farm, Little Totham, Maldon, Essex.
6. Can I hire a fridge trailer for a wedding?
Yes, fridge and freezer trailers are commonly hired for weddings to keep catering, drinks and desserts chilled throughout the day. Customers have used them for weddings held in marquees, paddocks and outdoor venues, including in wet or winter conditions, with the company handling delivery, set-up and collection.
7. Can businesses hire a fridge trailer for emergency cover?
Yes, 3 Diamond Fridge Hire provides emergency breakdown refrigeration cover for businesses whose own fridge or freezer equipment has failed. This is aimed at keeping stock safe and operations running while a permanent fix is arranged, alongside support for busy periods and large functions.
8. Can I hire a fridge trailer short-term or long-term?
Both. Trailers are available for short-term hire, such as a single weekend event, and for long-term hire to support ongoing business needs like seasonal demand or breakdown cover.
9. Are the fridge trailers suitable for use at a private home?
Yes, the trailers are designed to work equally well at homes or business premises, running off a standard domestic power supply. They’re a popular option for house parties, family celebrations and events held in a garden or driveway.
10. What other event hire services does 3 Diamond offer alongside fridge hire?
Alongside fridge and freezer trailers, the company (through its sister brand 3 Diamond Events) supplies “Giant Hat” tipi hire, event furniture and extras for weddings, parties and functions. A related family business, Mobile Thrones, also offers luxury portable toilet, shower and generator hire across Essex, Suffolk, London, Kent, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire — useful for customers planning a full outdoor event.
11. What types of events are fridge trailers used for?
Fridge and freezer trailers are used for weddings, balls, christenings, parties, functions, fundraising events, food festivals and shows. They’ve also been used at large public events such as Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and the Chelmsford Foodie Festival.
12. How much does it cost to hire a fridge trailer?
Pricing depends on trailer size, hire duration and delivery location, so 3 Diamond Fridge Hire provides a competitive quote based on the specifics of each booking rather than a fixed price list. Contacting the company directly (01621 788218) gives the most accurate, no-obligation quote.
13. How does delivery and collection work?
3 Diamond Fridge Hire delivers the trailer to your location at an agreed date and time, and collects it once your hire period ends, so no towing or transport is required by the customer. This “drop off and pick up” model is designed to remove the effort of arranging refrigeration for an event or premises.
14. Is 3 Diamond Fridge Hire linked to 3 Diamond Events?
Yes, 3 Diamond Fridge Hire and 3 Diamond Events are sister companies. 3 Diamond Events supplies the tipi, furniture and event styling side of the business, while 3 Diamond Fridge Hire focuses on refrigerated and freezer trailers — customers can book both for the same event.
15. How do I book a fridge trailer?
Bookings are made by contacting 3 Diamond Fridge Hire directly by phone (01621 788218) or via the enquiry form on their website, providing event date, location and the type of refrigeration needed to receive a quote.
