You can think of refrigerated trailer rentals almost like a limousine service for your perishable items. In a limo, you get VIP treatment and stylish travel. In an ice truck rental, luxury and style are replaced with plenty of room, accessible storage, and a temperature-controlled environment. These features keep your cargo cool and protected from outdoor elements like rain, sleet, and snow, so you can make sure your items arrive on time when you need them.
You may be wondering to yourself, "Refrigerated trailer rentals sound like the perfect fit for my business. But how do I find them in South Carolina?" The easy answer to that question is to call Charleston Refrigerators Trailers - the Lowcountry's premier choice for high-quality refrigerated trailers and ice truck rentals.
Every one of our refrigerated trailer rentals are:
At CRT, we believe that renting a refrigerated trailer is about more than simply having a quality cooling unit. Unlike some refrigerated trailer rental companies, we incorporate friendly, helpful customer service into every transaction we complete. That way, our clients know that they're in good hands every time they call our office and have peace of mind that their business won't suffer due to lack of communication.
We also make it a point to be flexible for our customers and strive to go the extra mile for them to make their jobs and lives easier. Need power cords to hook up your ice truck for rent in Myrtle Beach? No problem, we can make that happen. Need to pick up one of our refrigerated trailer rentals yourself so you can deliver your own goods? We'd be happy to make arrangements so you can do so. Worried about the overnight security of your temperature-sensitive items? We're delighted to provide a padlock for extra security.
When you boil it down to the basics, Myrtle Beach Refrigerated Trailer has become successful in South Carolina because we truly care about our customer's needs and go out of our way to ensure those needs are met.
We offer trailer rentals for both refrigerators and freezers, which are perfect for a number of industries and uses, including the following:
At Charleston Refrigerators Trailers, all of our mobile rentals are well-built and crafted with a seamless fiberglass design for both reliability and refrigeration efficiency. When you make arrangements to have an ice truck for rent in Myrtle Beach delivered or picked up, you'll enjoy a range of helpful trailer features, including the following:
Cooling and freezing take place reliably with an integrated GOVI Arktik 2000US series refrigeration unit. These compact units provide a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees F, are all-electric, and only require 110V and 15 amps. Since our coolers have the capability of maintaining temps both below and above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, our ice truck rentals double as both freezers and coolers. This handy feature makes them a more convenient and robust tool for your personal or business needs versus other mobile cooler rentals in Myrtle Beach.
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:
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.
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:
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.
Get QuoteAt Myrtle Beach Refrigerated Trailer, we're big proponents of giving our customers plenty of information. That way, they can make informed purchasing decisions and know how to better operate our ice truck rentals. To keep yourself educated, keep these FAQs in mind:
Renting a refrigerated trailer just makes good sense for many businesses in Myrtle Beach and the metro area. That's why Myrtle Beach Refrigerated Trailer proudly serves South Carolina and the Lowcountry with refrigerated and frozen transportation rentals. If you're looking for the reliability, convenience, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of a refrigerated trailer for rent in Myrtle Beach, look no further than CRT.

The latest restaurant inspections by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture found mildew in an ice machine, flies in a kitchen, unsafe food temperatures and more. Since the Department of Health and Environmental Control was eliminated, the SCDA has taken over regular health and safety inspections of retail food establishments in the state.
In general, SCDA gives restaurants scoring between 88 and 100 points A grades, restaurants scoring 78-87 points B grades and restaurants scoring 77 points or fewer C grades. However, the department sometimes lowers grades for restaurants that have consecutive violations, are under enforcement action or are under pending enforcement actions, including imminent health hazards, permit suspensions or permit revocations.
Of the 252 restaurant inspections conducted in Horry and Georgetown County between Sept. 26 and Oct. 16, SCDA gave three restaurants C grades and eight B grades. However, only four restaurants actually scored below 88 points. Here’s what inspectors found.
2144 Oakheart Road, Myrtle Beach, 29575
Score: 78
At a routine inspection of King Kong Sushi Bar and Grill on Oct. 16 there was mildew and pink slime in the ice machine, fly traps hanging over a fry station table and self service containers, and crab sticks and raw calamari stored at unsafe temperatures.
State regulations require that sushi rice is marked with a time so the establishment can track how long it’s safe to eat. According to the report, it appeared that the same sticker marked with time was used every day.
Other violations included using bowls without handles to scoop food, improperly thawing roe and chicken, and leaving large containers of tea uncovered. A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Oct. 26.
740 Coastal Grand Circle, Myrtle Beach, 29577
Score: 80
The Department of Agriculture conducted a routine inspection of Abuelo’s Mexican Food Embassy on Oct. 14 due to non-compliance in previous limited-scope complaint inspections and found a “heavy presence of flies” in the kitchen and build up on cooking equipment and kitchen floors.
The inspection also noted that the kitchen dish machine had insufficient levels of sanitizer, hot foods like cooked meat and fried peppers weren’t kept at adequately warm temperatures and cold foods like shrimp, fish and sour cream were stored at temperatures that weren’t cool enough.
A follow-up inspection will be conducted on Oct. 26.
10008 Ocean Highway, Pawleys Island, 29585
Score: 81
An Oct. 15 routine inspection of Gio’s Italian Kitchen found several violations including foods like butter, pork and tiramisu stored at unsafe temperatures and ready-to-eat foods like noodles, cheese and chopped vegetables stored without dates.
The inspection also noted that a cooler wasn’t sufficiently cold, a cup without handles was used to scoop spices, shellfish weren’t stored chronologically and employees handled food without gloves on. A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Oct. 25.
10088 Highway 707, Myrtle Beach, SC, 29575
Score: 85
A routine inspection of Lance Self Serve on Oct. 10 found several violations, including the C grade decal half-torn off, an accumulation of debris on shelves and dirty floors. There was also no water at the hand sinks, which the report states are in poor condition and difficult to access because the floor was “covered in excessive items.”
The inspection also found plates of ready-to-eat chicken wings and sausage stored without marked dates in a walk-in refrigerator. According to the report, the owner said the food was his but he had been told to separate personal food from commercial food at the previous inspection.
An inspector’s comments in the report said, “[the owner] is currently not serving food at this time,” and noted that the owner left abruptly, refusing to sign the report. A follow-up inspection was conducted on Oct. 18, but the report is not yet available on the food grades website.
Lance Self Serve was referred to enforcement for failing to correct consecutive violations, a representative for SCDA told The Sun News.
According state law, retail food establishment referred to enforcement can be fined $1,000 penalty for each violation for each day of noncompliance. Other enforcement action can include civil penalties, permit suspension, permit revocation or a combination of the three.

After weeks of differing opinions between Market Common residents and developers, the Myrtle Beach City Council made their decision on the final stage of the Market Common plan, MarketWalk.
The majority voted in favor of it.
Myrtle Beach council members hold at-large seats; no specific member represents Market Common at the same time all represent Market Common. Council member Bill McClure campaigned to add districts for the council.
Property records show that none of the council members live in the Market Common district.
Following 47 minutes of discussion, questions, comments and concern, a majority of elected officials, including Mayor Brenda Bethune voted yes for MarketWalk, with McClure and Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lowder voting against the project.
This vote on Tuesday morning follows a recommendation from the Planning Commission and changes to the plan by the development company, Homefed Corporation.
According to Ordinance 2024-60, the new plan includes 90 townhouses and 102 cottages, a swimming pool, clubhouse, lake pavilion and park, playground, a 3,500-square-foot drive-thru Starbucks on the corner of Phillis Boulevard and Howard Avenue, 424 parking spaces, and 15 commercial parking spaces.
The planning commission’s unanimous approval of this newer plan is contingent on Homefed adding an eight-foot sidewalk along Phillis Blvd, limiting the drive-thru to a coffee shop only, and contributing money towards the completion of Thunderbolt Park Path “in an amount mutually agreeable between the developer and City Management,” the ordinance states.
At previous meetings, folk showed concerns about the new development’s traffic impact, to which developers said they had completed a traffic study with no failing scores.
After filing a Freedom of Information Act with the city, The Sun News exclusively obtained a copy of the study.
Originally, the MarketWalk plans had the space zoned as a 180,000-plus-square-foot department store, according to city documents. Those plans were then amended to add a hotel to the area.
According to the ordinance, this new plan would change the master plan from the hotel to the townhomes and cottages.
Plans of Market Common show that this parcel is the last piece of land to be developed.
