With CRT by your side, there's no need to rent separate ice trucks or mobile refrigerators because our unit is 2-in-1, saving you both time and money.

How Does a Refrigerated Trailer for Rent in Summerville, SC 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:

 Refrigerated Trailers Summerville, SC

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.

 Remote Refrigerated Storage Summerville, SC

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.

 Refrigerated Transportation Summerville, SC

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.

Summerville, SC 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 Summerville, SC

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 Summerville, SC 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 Summerville, SC, 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.

Summerville, SC Refrigerated Trailer Pro Tip

 Remote Refrigerated Storage Summerville, SC

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.

SUMMERVILLE — A group of women meets for lunch inside a renovated home, stark white with a spacious front porch. A few paces away, chef Jonathan DuPriest can be seen finishing plates through a small window to the kitchen, framed by rows of hanging wine bottles.

Around the left of the two-story former residence, down a gravel trail, more tables fill with guests enjoying a leisurely lunch.

They pick up dark shells from a bowl of mussels, finished with a kiss of saffron, and slice through French bread pizzas with toppings that range from house-made sausage and Gruyere cheese to figs with prosciutto, arugula and balsamic.

For dessert, servers rattle off a quartet of tempting takes, including an apple crisp lit by Grand Marnier and a New York-style cheesecake dusted with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

Welcome to La Chev 208, a French restaurant that opened in February. It’s quickly endeared itself to the Summerville community — so much so that multiple readers have recently reached out to tell me how much they like it.

Those who visit the restaurant at 208 E. 1st North St. will realize they’re onto something.

Setting that matches the food

Multiple emails landed in my inbox shortly after I published a list of top Summerville restaurants in April. Diners were wondering why I omitted La Chev 208 on my roundup of establishments to try in the area.

The truth is that I had yet to visit the French-inspired eatery since it relocated from Knightsville to a 100-plus-year-old property just off Main Street.

The restaurant is led by DuPriest and Jason Tucker, who were both on premises when I swung by last week.

Tucker first opened La Chev after cutting his professional teeth at restaurants in downtown Charleston’s French Quarter. Inside a strip center space that previously housed a Ladles sandwich and soup shop, the Johnson & Wales University graduate teamed up with DuPriest to serve French- and Lowcountry-inspired dishes like crab croquettes, shrimp and grits, steak and yellowfin tuna.

With the move, the refined food finally matches the setting, DuPriest said. The two dishes I tried during a maiden meal in May confirm that declaration.

Mesclun, fresh strawberries and goat cheese top the Chevalier salad ($10), with greens dressed in a balanced vinaigrette. The portion, big enough for a light lunch, showcases the fresh fruit, which bursts with a sweetness that blends nicely with the mildly tart cheese.

The fish and frites ($12, lunch) features fried flounder, perched atop a mound of duck fat french fries. Any notion that this is a heavy dish is assuaged with one taste of the crackling crust and juicy white meat. Rosemary livens up the fries, which crackle and crunch the way a crispy spud should.

As you may have read in my recent coverage of Summerville restaurants, this corner of the Lowcountry is becoming a dining destination.

The man who served me at La Chev 208, who worked in downtown Charleston eateries for close to two decades, went one step further in his assessment of how Summerville’s restaurant scene stacks up to local competition:

“They got nothin’ on us anymore,” he said.

Walmart proposes new Supercenter at the entrance of growing Summerville community

The sprawling mega-residential development in Summerville, slated to have upwards of 10,000 single-family houses and townhomes when fully built out, could soon see a new discount store near its entrance.

The retail giant has proposed a 171,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter on 46 acres at 2000 State Road, also known as U.S. Highway 176.

The Supercenter would include a full grocery store, garden center and a drive-through pharmacy that would serve the nearly 40,000 projected Cane Bay Plantation residents at full buildout and more.

Walmart’s application requests construction of a median turn lane and right-turn lane for easy access to the store from both Highway 176 and Fairwinds Boulevard.

According to the application, about a quarter-acre of wetlands will be filled for the development.

“At this point, it’s still in the early stages,” said Mariel Messier, communications director for Walmart’s U.S. East region. “This location is part of Walmart’s broader initiative to build or convert more than 150 stores nationwide during the next several years, bringing new jobs and infrastructure improvements to the Summerville community.”

The Cane Bay store would be the fifth Walmart in Summerville and the city's third Supercenter. The other two Supercenters are at 1317 N Main St. and 9880 Dorchester Road.

Walmart announced earlier this year it was planning to remodel its Neighborhood Market Walmart location at 10635 Dorchester Road in Summerville as part of a strategy to update 33 stores across the state.

The new Supercenter would add another Walmart in the heart of rapidly growing Berkeley County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the state with a projected population of 372,132 by 2040.

Messier said the company factors in a rapid increase in population growth, as well as other, metrics when scouting a new Supercenter location.

“We're always looking for opportunities of where a location will be most advantageous for our customers,” she said. “We're just excited to be able to serve more customers in Summerville and bring this location in.”

They built Cane Bay, and people came.

The Cane Bay Plantation master-planned development was conceived by Charleston-based Gramling Brothers Real Estate and Development. It first broke ground in 2005 on a 4,500-acre tract surrounding a lake with trail systems.

Now an expansive collection of neighborhoods, Cane Bay Plantation has undergone a population boom in the 20 years since with its own schools, library and YMCA.

Nearby, master-planned developments Nexton and Carnes Crossroads soon followed suit.

Cane Bay elementary and middle schools, which were built for 900 students each, were already over capacity by hundreds of students merely 10 years later. Cane Bay High School now has more than 2,000 students.

The community's retail area has further grown around the rooflines with a Publix grocery store, Parker’s Kitchen gas station, restaurants like Chick-Fil-A and Smoothie King, nail salons and hair studios, banks and credit unions, and a plethora of services for residents such as a veterinarian, dentist and a Roper St. Francis Physicians Network.

As South Carolina continues to be a hub for industrial growth, three sales were among the biggest in the nation in 2024.

A $68.6 million deal in Rock Hill landed at No. 9 on the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors' Top 50 Transactions based on the sale price. A $50 million transaction in Summerville followed at No. 19, and a $25 million deal in Lugoff took the No. 47 spot.

In the tricounty, Harbor Commercial represented the buyer in its $50 million purchase of the 753,222-square foot former Fruit of the Loom warehouse and distribution center in Summerville. The property off Interstate 26 in Berkeley County is at 1116 Business Park Road.

According to county records, the buyer was a partnership between LRC Properties and GEM Realty Capital. The sale to their GVII-LRC FOL Owner LLC joint venture was finalized Aug. 14.

The Summerville industrial building once employed more than 100 workers handling sportswear and undergarments for a household name owned by Warren Buffett's investment conglomerate. The new owners intend to make some modifications to the building before leasing the space to a range of tenants, including manufacturers and distributore.

In Lugoff, Colliers confirmed the $25 million sale of three buildings: 235 Standard Warehouse Road and two more at 218 Evans Road to Weston Ink. The Cleveland, Ohio, based company is a privately held industrial property owner with more than 28 million square feet of property across the United States.

Avison Young, which represented the $68.6 million Rock Hill transaction, declined to comment on details of the sale.

So far in the first quarter of 2025, South Carolina has seen healthy levels of industrial activity with Greenville-Spartanburg continuing to lead the state with several significant manufacturing and data deals.

At the top is Eaton's lease of 861,000 square feet in Union to manufacture three-phase transformers, Colliers reported. Activity started to taper into March, according to the the commercial real estate firm, and the growing trade policy uncertainty has caused manufacturers and warehousing users to pause and reevaluate plans.
