How Does a Refrigerated Trailer for Rent in Downtown Charleston 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.
Downtown Charleston 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 Downtown Charleston
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 Downtown Charleston 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 Downtown Charleston, 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.
Downtown Charleston 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.

Estadio is empty when we sit down for our 6:15 p.m. reservation.
It’s unsettling to walk inside a restaurant with no patrons. Did we choose the right place? Why isn’t anyone here?
Then a group of women walks in and snags a seat at their regular six-top. A couple strides through the door and promptly finds their place at the bar. They’re next to a solo guest with a book and lots of questions about the cocktails. The restaurant slowly fills.
We settle in, scan the menu and remember why we felt compelled to dine here. There’s cheese and wine and tapas and Spanish entrees meant to be shared with a small group. Ingredients like anchovy butter, crispy black Carolina Gold rice and truffle jump off the page.
We’re not expecting the extravagance of a place like Marbled & Fin, the downtown steakhouse I reviewed in September. Still, there appears to be plenty of bites and beverages that warrant a special trip to Estadio.
Take the txistorra pigs in a blanket ($10), whose soft croissant-like wrapper rests in Dijon mustard. A miniature spiced sausage tucked inside completes each tasty two-biter. Piping hot manchego cheese spills out of the chorizo empanadas ($11), another polished appetizer. The brittle pockets deliver a pair of smoky bites.
Almond romesco sparks steak skewers ($22) with mild smoky spice, and the crispy Carolina Gold rice ($39) is a squid ink stunner. With a dark shade that contrasts a bright blue and white plate, the platter is strung with red peppers, which curl between clams and dollops of fresh aioli, adding to the visual appeal. Scallops with flakey bits of sea salt form a border — and a satisfying one at that, the golden morsels surging with savory sweetness.
Many of these items weren't on the menu when Estadio opened in 2019 and was reviewed later that year. That’s not the only detail that’s changed since.

SC Supreme Court rules on filling wetlands in historic Charleston neighborhood

(WCSC) - After spending years in court, justices have upheld the validity of a permit issued to the WestEdge Foundation, which will allow the filling of some Charleston area-wetlands to move forward.Arguments over Gadsden Creek, once taking up 100 acres of the peninsula as a salt marsh but now down to just four after being used as a landfill in the 1950s, have been ongoing since 2019, with a Lowcountry environmental advocacy group, Friends of Gadsden Creek, pushing for its protection.In 2021, the former South C...
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - After spending years in court, justices have upheld the validity of a permit issued to the WestEdge Foundation, which will allow the filling of some Charleston area-wetlands to move forward.
Arguments over Gadsden Creek, once taking up 100 acres of the peninsula as a salt marsh but now down to just four after being used as a landfill in the 1950s, have been ongoing since 2019, with a Lowcountry environmental advocacy group, Friends of Gadsden Creek, pushing for its protection.
In 2021, the former South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, which now operates as the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services with an additional department for public health, issued a permit to allow WestEdge to cap the exposed landfill and fill the marsh.
WestEdge officials say they had planned to install a new drainage system that would bring an end to tidal and stormwater flooding along the Charleston peninsula with the hope of protecting the surrounding community from polluted floodwater.
Since that permit’s issuance, Friends of Gadsden Creek and WestEdge have been in and out of courtrooms arguing whether that permit violated regulatory law.
Advocates against the filling of the creek had hoped for a plan to revitalize the creek instead, something WestEdge leaders say is no longer feasible.
Activists for the cause noted the historical importance of the creek, especially to the area’s Black community, as it was a primary resource for many who relied on its economic and recreational value.
In December 2022, the South Carolina Administrative Law Court ruled in favor of WestEdge after the case was heard over several days of the previous summer.
The following month, Friends of Gadsden Creek filed an appeal against that decision. That appeal went before the Supreme Court back in June for a five-day hearing.
In an opinion filed Wednesday, the South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the Administrative Law Court’s ruling, saying that not only was DHEC not in violation of regulatory law when it issued the permit, but further positing that, with its rampant levels of contamination, the creek, which has tested positive for things like lead and arsenic, could not be allowed to continue to leech pollutants into the Ashley River.
In the ruling, the court stated the following:
“We are greatly disturbed and disheartened by the loss of Gadsden Creek in its natural form during the 1950s and 60s. This was injustice for the community that loved the marsh and for all of South Carolina. We are also aware that, although not pristine, the current Gadsden Creek and its accompanying saltmarsh is a functioning tidal eco-system. However, we hold the evidence submitted at the contested case hearing substantially supports the ALC’s conclusion that DHEC properly granted WestEdge’s permit application… We acknowledge the well-presented case by Friends of Gadsden Creek. However, after painstakingly reviewing the evidence, we find the issues of stormwater runoff, a polluted urban creek, and tidal flooding have combined to create an extremely rare circumstance where it is in the public’s interest to approve the permit to fill in Gadsden Creek.”
Michael Maher, the president and CEO of the WestEdge Foundation, released a statement on the ruling as well:
“WestEdge Foundation is pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the S.C. DHEC permit, allowing our project to finally move forward and provide real flooding relief and protection from pollution in the Westside community. We sincerely wish there was a way to clean and preserve what remains of Gadsden Creek, and WestEdge started out with that intention. But as engineers concluded and our state’s highest court has affirmed, the only feasible way to provide the community with long-term relief and protection from worsening flooding is to proceed with our plan to cap the landfill and install a new stormwater system. As we move forward with the next step in the permitting process for this project, WestEdge remains committed to the health, safety, and livability of our community for generations to come.”
No details have been released regarding a timeline for this project or whether Friends of Gadsden Creek will attempt to further appeal its case to the United States Supreme Court.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Leaders of a historic Charleston church are working to fund a needed restoration so that it can live on for many years to come.
The current Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church has stood in Charleston since 1891.
The Historic Mother Emanuel AMEC Foundation is partnering with MOJA Arts Festival and the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairsto host an art auction benefitting this restoration project.
This church is a major piece of Charleston history having withstood an earthquake, a tragic mass shooting and hurricanes among other tribulations. The Mother Emanuel AMEC is the largest African American church in Charleston.
The church has existed long before 1891, but that is when the current standing building came into existence and today, it still has the original floors, pews and light fixtures.
After years of use and different tribulations, the church has suffered some damage. In order to keep it standing, church leaders initiated a restoration project that is sitting at $4.8 million in total. They have, so far, been able to complete phase one of the project, which cost about $2.3 million, so they still have about $2.5 million to go. As part of phase one, they were able to repair the organ, a major focal point of the church, as well as the balcony area.
For phase two, they will focus on the nine trusses in the ceiling that termites and water have severely damaged. They will also put a focus on the restoration of the exterior of the church.
The church is hosting an art auction Wednesday featuring pieces from both local and national artists. The event is open to the public and they are hoping to raise as much money as they can to put towards the completion of this project.
Lee J. Bennett is the church historian and a trustee of the church. Bennett says they are optimistic about this fundraising event and hope to bring in about $30,000 from it. Bennett has been a member of the church for many years now and believes the restoration is extremely important to the community. He says that they have to repair the ceiling in order for the church to stay standing. He says that he hopes the church is able to serve the community for many years to come.
“I’ve been a long-time member of the church here at Emanuel, grew up in this community just to be able to preserve the church and be a part of continuing the legacy within the church and to make sure that the church is around for many, many more years for people to have a place to come and worship,” he says.
The Art Auction will take place at the Camden Room in the Charleston Visitor’s Center located at 375 Meeting St. from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is open for anyone in the public to attend. Along with the art, they will have food, beverages and music for attendees to enjoy.
For those who are unable to attend, but still want to contribute, the church also welcomes donations towards the restoration through this link.
“The hope for the future certainly that Emanuel lives on forever. The Emanuel has a great history of resistance and resiliency within its within the city and actually nationally,” Bennett says. “The hopes are that we continue to be a beacon of light, that the doors of this church will always be open, and that’s the hope that I would have.”
