Mobile Coolroom vs Freezer Hire: Which Do You Need?
In short
Hire a mobile coolroom (+2°C to +8°C) for chilled food, drinks and catering. Hire a mobile freezer (-18°C to -22°C) for frozen food, ice and seafood. If you need both, we can supply one of each.
The key difference
A mobile coolroom keeps things cold but above freezing — ideal for drinks, fresh food, dairy, catering platters and flowers.
A mobile freezer maintains deep-freeze temperatures — ideal for ice, frozen meals, seafood, meat and medical products.
Temperature ranges compared
| Unit | Temperature | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile coolroom | +2°C to +8°C | Drinks, catering, fresh food, dairy, flowers |
| Mobile freezer | -18°C to -22°C | Ice, frozen food, seafood, meat, pharmaceuticals |
Common scenarios
Weddings and parties — usually a coolroom is enough for drinks and catering. Add a freezer if you need bulk ice.
Restaurants and cafés — a coolroom covers chilled stock during a fridge breakdown. Choose a freezer if frozen stock is at risk.
Seafood and fishing — a freezer is essential for fresh catch. A coolroom suits chilled display and prep.
Events and festivals — most events need a coolroom for drinks and food. Bars serving cocktails may want a freezer for ice.
Can I hire both?
Yes. Many events and businesses hire one coolroom and one freezer to cover all their refrigeration needs. We offer package pricing for multi-unit hires.
