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 Ravenel? 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, Ravenel 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 Ravenel 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 Ravenel.
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.

RAVENEL — This rural town in western Charleston County is home to roughly 2,700 residents and stretches along Savannah Highway from Rantowles Creek to New Road. There's one major grocery store, five gas stations and a handful of restaurants.
Now officials might let the small, rural town grow by fixing what some called "an oversight" that has allowed strict height restrictions.
Height restrictions for all zoning districts were capped at 35 feet. But Town Council just increased the height restriction for business, service warehouse and industrial zonings to 45, 55 and 65 feet respectively at their Oct. 29 meeting.
Mayor Stephen Tumbleston said at the Sept. 24 Town Council meeting that changing the height restrictions is "correcting an oversight" after the town finished a zoning rewrite a few years ago.
"We've got a business that has the same height limit as a house, so that doesn't really make any sense," Tumbleston said at the meeting. "I think we should all agree that doesn't make sense."
There's no right or wrong answer for how a rural town can grow, according to Charlie Barrineau, field services manager for the Municipal Association of South Carolina. Easing height restrictions will help with growth and development by increasing density, he said.
"Increasing the density allows you to attract more businesses and more residential, which can allow for improved walkability," Barrineau said. "It attracts a greater mix of future growth."
He said it's up to the community to determine how they'd like to grow. Ravenel residents and officials have clashed over the prospect of growth for at least a few years.
Charleston County's population in 2013 was 372,065, according to the South Carolina's revenues and fiscal affairs office. The U.S. Census states the county's population in 2023 was 424,367, an increase of roughly 14 percent.
