How Does a Refrigerated Trailer for Rent in Seabrook Island Work?
Generally speaking, refrigerated trailers aren't meant to cool down or freeze the items stored within them. Instead, they're meant to keep products at a specific temperature for a certain amount of time. At Charleston Refrigerators Trailers, our team members use Polar King Mobile trailers. We made the choice to use this brand for a reason: These ice trucks both meet and exceed all compliance guidelines set forth by the NATM or National Association of Trailer Manufacturers.
Our refrigerated trailers for rent utilize three major components:
Compressor
When the compressor is powered correctly, it draws in refrigerant and then compresses it. Once the refrigerant is compressed, it becomes liquified and is passed along to the trailer's condenser.
Condenser
After the gas is compressed by the compressor, it is passed on to the condenser for a heat exchange process. The condenser fan allows outside air to flow through, leading to the dissipation of heat and a decrease in the refrigerant's temperature. This cooling process results in the refrigerant condensing from hot gas to regular-temperature liquid.
Evaporator
The evaporator receives the liquid refrigerant through an expansion valve that regulates its flow and cooling. The refrigerant transforms into a cool liquid as it passes through the valve, then expands and turns into a warm gas in the evaporator. This gas absorbs the heat and air inside the container and is then drawn into the compressor to restart the cycle.
Seabrook Island Refrigerated Trailer Pro Tip:
Refrigeration units can run in cycles or continuously. Running the refrigeration unit in cycles reduces fuel consumption but creates more temperature variation. Frozen foods are less sensitive to temperature changes and can endure these variations. Continuous cooling is better suited for products and goods that are not able to withstand temperature variations well. At Charleston Refrigerators Trailers, our mobile rental options utilize continuous cooling to ensure your items don't suffer from temperature variations.
5 Benefits of Using an Ice Truck for Rent in Seabrook Island
For business owners, managing funds and staying on top of costs is a crucial part of owning a profitable company. Purchasing and maintaining a fleet of refrigerated trailers can be a significant financial burden, requiring substantial capital investment and ongoing maintenance costs. However, renting refrigerated trucks can help businesses allocate their funds more wisely.
That's especially true for businesses that do not frequently engage in long-distance refrigerated shipping. Why purchase an entire vehicle and refrigeration system when you need the trailer for more minor tasks, like delivering flowers on Valentine's Day or storing products after an unexpected power outage? If you have a specific product line or a limited-time special, it's more practical to go with a refrigerated truck for rent than to purchase an ice truck outright.
In terms of the additional benefits of refrigerated trailer rentals, there's no shortage of them to highlight:
- 01 No Maintenance Costs When you rent a refrigerated trailer, one of the biggest benefits is that you don't have to worry about expensive maintenance and repairs. If you were to buy a unit, it would only be a matter of time before you or a qualified professional would have to make repairs. At Seabrook Island Refrigerated Trailer, all of our trailer rental options are well-maintained and up-to-date on repairs and updates.
- 02 Cost-Effective When you buy an ice truck, you're making a long-term investment that may take a long time to pay off. When you rent, you're getting an immediate solution, which is better for your bank account when you only need the trailer for an abbreviated time.
- 03 No Storage Costs What many folks don't think about when they buy a refrigerated trailer is that they will need someplace to store it when it's not in use. Often, that means paying even more money to rent a storage unit. With a refrigerated trailer for rent in Seabrook Island, you can eliminate the expenses associated with storage units.
- 04 Focus on Day-to-Day Business Obligations With an ice truck rental, you can concentrate on your core business activities instead of allocating resources towards managing a fleet of trucks and dealing with all the logistics involved.
- 05 Refrigerated Space Catered to Your Needs Renting a refrigerated trailer from CRT means you have the flexibility of booking a short or longer-term trailer rental. That can be very helpful, especially for growing businesses and events that might have changing needs from month to month.
Seabrook Island Refrigerated Trailer Pro Tip
Looking for a spot to practice towing and trailering? Practicing these maneuvers in an empty parking lot is an excellent idea. It's always better to learn the movements of your trailer in empty spaces, so you can avoid any mishaps like trying to back up and park in front of a busy store.

Helene To Bring SC Flooding Rain, Tornadoes

Key Points:
Helene is now a hurricane with 80 mph maximum sustained winds, centered just east of Cancun, Mexico.
A loop of visible satellite images from this morning featuring sunrise over the region revealing Helene, now the Atlantic Basin's newest hurricane.
The latest NHC experimental forecast cone, watch, and warning graphic shows the extent of Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings in our state.
Helene will cause all four of the usual tropical cyclone impacts to some or all of South Carolina. First, we must address the threat of extreme rainfall and flooding. Below are the Excessive Rainfall Outlook graphics from the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) to break down the risk for heavy to extreme rainfall and flooding through Friday.
A front that will become stationary over much of the Upstate will cause a predecessor heavy rainfall event through tonight, with the potential for significant flash flooding over the western Upstate and isolated flash flooding in other parts of the state. Extreme rain from Helene will affect much of the state Thursday into Thursday night, resulting in widespread flash flooding for the Upstate, especially areas that get heavy rain through tonight. In that area, some areas that see flooding only in the most extreme rain events will flood, and the high-risk area indicates the risk for severe flash flooding and should be taken very seriously. Flash flooding may be widespread and significant in the 'Moderate Risk' areas. In the green and yellow areas, there can be isolated flash flooding from heavy rain, with yellow areas at a somewhat higher risk.
River flooding is going to be a problem in the Upstate as well; be prepared for moderate to major river flooding in this area. This will flow downstream, of course, and the rest of the state will get soaking as well, so we will see river flooding become a problem over most of the state's rivers as we go into the weekend.
Now, to address the damaging wind risk. Helene will have an unusually large field of strong winds on its east side so South Carolina will get a taste of the strong wind.
The slightly westward shift of the forecast track has reduced my concern for strong winds a bit. However, peak gusts in the 50-55 mph range over areas near the Savannah River will still be enough to cause some downed trees and power lines. It wouldn't shock me if someone in the western Upstate or coastal Lowcountry had a 60 mph gust. Areas farther to the east will see less wind, but the wind combined with heavy rain might cause isolated tree and power line damage. Should Helene track farther east than expected, the concern for damaging wind will increase.
The tornado risk is looking potentially serious over parts of the state. Here's the Storm Prediction Center's Severe Weather Outlook graphic for Thursday and Thursday night to illustrate the concern:
The level 3 of 5 'enhanced risk' area over the Lowcountry is concerning. I've said before that concern for a more serious severe storm outbreak hits harder when you see SPC has us in level 3 and up areas. I've read that they are evaluating whether to expand that further north and northeast, They might well have to as that area is going to have an unusually favorable setup for tropical tornadoes Thursday and Thursday night. At least a few tornadoes further north and west are likely but will be more isolated. While there might be isolated severe storms with a couple of tornadoes on Thursday, the main time of concern will be Thursday night as Helene barrels northward through the Southeast, especially late at night and the wee hours of Friday.
A tornado outbreak at night is never a good thing. Usually, people are trying to sleep and many miss warnings. So, it's important to have tornado preparations in place ahead of Helene. Decide on your best shelter area in advance, as you might not get much lead time. Tropical tornadoes often hit fast without much lead time on warnings. Also, be sure you have at least a few ways to receive tornado warnings, and make sure one of them will make enough noise to wake you if you're sleeping. More tornado preparation advice is available from the National Weather Service.
Oh, it's worth mentioning that any storm along the stationary front in the Upstate and vicinity this afternoon and tonight can be locally severe with damaging wind; an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.
Finally, storm surge:
The current forecast from NHC allows for a 1-3 foot storm surge along and south of South Santee River. It wouldn't surprise me if they extended this further north in time, but the Lowcountry has the greater storm surge risk. However, timing, which is a little uncertain still, will be key. A 2-3 foot storm surge that hits at high tide would be enough for moderate to major coastal flooding, but if it hits at low tide or between the tides, there may be little or no impacts from the surge. Of course, especially for the Charleston area, should heavy rainfall occur right at high tide with a coinciding storm surge, the coastal flooding gets even worse.
Helene is coming. The worst will pass to our west, but we will see major impacts in South Carolina. So, please prepare. If you need advice, SCEMD has you covered at hurricane.sc.
