Across DTLA, the South Bay, Hollywood soundstages and Long Beach event lawns, KryoFridge delivers NSF-approved 6x8, 6x12 and 6x16 mobile freezer and refrigeration trailers same-day, backed by one of the largest direct-owner cold storage fleets in the Western US.
From awards-season parties in Beverly Hills to a walk-in going down mid-service in Koreatown to a September heat wave pushing Woodland Hills past 105 degrees, LA operators pick KryoFridge because the equipment, the response time and the people behind the trailers all hold up when it counts.
KryoFridge has deployed thousands of refrigeration and freezer trailers across the Western US with a 0% spoilage incident rate and hundreds of verified five-star reviews. LA caterers, grocery chains, studio production managers and event producers call us first because they have either rented from us before or heard about us from someone who has. Reputation at that scale is not an accident. It comes from treating a backyard Encino wedding and a multi-trailer SoFi Stadium deployment like the only job on the board.
Reviews are operational feedback, not a vanity metric. Read through them and the patterns say more than any pitch could: drivers who beat the morning marine layer to give a Santa Monica venue extra setup buffer, on-call dispatch that re-routed a backup unit to an Arts District restaurant within 90 minutes when a primary compressor flagged warning lights, a Ralphs store manager whose holiday weekend stayed on schedule because the trailer was staged before the repair tech even arrived to diagnose the walk-in.
LA is a referral town. Beverly Hills event planners talk to Culver City caterers. Studio line producers compare vendor lists between shows. Grocery regional managers know who the chain across the street uses. By the time an LA operator calls us for the first time, they have usually already heard our name from someone they trust, and that is the version of us they get: the one described in the reviews, on the easy jobs and the hard ones alike.
Every trailer is NSF approved, which means it meets the national sanitation standards the LA County Department of Public Health expects for food storage, that pharmaceutical and biotech operators require for cold-chain handling, and that licensed cannabis distributors need to stay compliant. Documentation, including COIs, compliance certificates and temperature logs, is ready before it is ever asked for. Grocery chains like Ralphs, Vons, Gelson's, Northgate Market and Smart & Final and regulated operators across the basin count on that paperwork being right the first time.
NSF/ANSI Standard 7 is the certification that matters for mobile cold storage used in food service. It governs surface materials, drainage, insulation, door seals and cleanability, the same requirements a permanent walk-in has to meet. Our trailers carry that certification because we ordered them that way from the factory. When an LA County environmental health inspector walks up to a unit holding inventory behind a Vons in Torrance or a restaurant in Silver Lake, they recognize the certification and move on.
Regulated industries carry heavier documentation needs. Licensed cannabis distributors need temperature logging that survives a METRC audit. Biotech and clinical operators near Cedars-Sinai and around the El Segundo and Santa Monica life-science corridor need validation runs proving the trailer holds spec through the rental window. Pharmacies need COIs naming their exact location as additionally insured. We have produced all three so many times the paperwork lives in a shared template. Ask once, receive within the hour.
Compliance is not just a talking point. LA operators have switched to us specifically because a previous vendor could not produce a COI that listed the venue correctly. That sounds minor until you are the one trying to get a trailer onto a studio lot or a stadium loading dock and security will not clear it because the insurance certificate does not match.
KryoFridge runs the German-engineered GOVI ARKTIK 2000US® and the heavy-duty Kingtec refrigeration system, two of the most respected names in mobile cold storage. Both hold temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit whether you are parked in triple-digit Van Nuys summer sun or a damp Santa Monica morning. They are also quiet enough to stand next to during a reception toast at a Malibu venue and still hear the speech. Plug-and-play simplicity meets industrial-grade performance.
The GOVI ARKTIK 2000US runs at roughly 55 dBA at three meters, about the level of a normal conversation. Most mobile refrigeration units in the rental market run 65 to 75 dBA, loud enough to interfere with an outdoor ceremony, fine-dining service or a film set rolling sound. The German build quality also means longer service intervals and fewer field failures. Scroll-style compressors handle on-off cycling without the wear pattern that destroys reciprocating compressors over a long LA summer.
We rotate trailers through a maintenance schedule between every rental, not after problems. Belt tension, refrigerant charge, defrost calibration, gel-coat condition and door-seal compression all get inspected before a unit leaves the yard. That is why the 0% spoilage record is not marketing language. A field failure is almost always a failure of pre-rental prep, and we have engineered most of those failure modes out by maintaining the way flight operations maintain aircraft: scheduled, documented, signed off.
The Kingtec units handle our heaviest-duty deployments, including multi-week grocery overflow, disaster response and studio production. They are built for continuous duty in extreme conditions, which is exactly what you need running 0 degrees in 105-degree inland heat for 30 days straight. Most mobile cold storage units are not spec'd for that. Ours are.
KryoFridge owns every trailer in the fleet outright. No brokering, no third-party subcontractors, no middlemen who disappear when something goes wrong. The fleet spans 6x8, 6x12 and 6x16 freezer and refrigeration trailers, staged at company-owned yards positioned to deliver same-day across the LA basin. Because the business focuses only on mobile refrigeration, every dollar of investment goes back into the cold storage fleet instead of being split across a dozen other rental categories.
Direct ownership determines what happens at 9pm on a Saturday when something goes sideways. Brokers cannot dispatch a replacement. They have to call the actual fleet owner, wait for a pickup, then wait for that owner's driver to mobilize. We are the fleet owner. When you call our after-hours line, the person who answers has dispatch authority and a yard full of staged backup units within driving distance of the 405, the 10 and the 110.
The fleet count grows in response to repeat customer volume, not speculative buildup. That keeps utilization high, which keeps maintenance cycles tight, which keeps reliability at the level that drives the next round of word-of-mouth. It is a closed loop brokers cannot replicate because they do not control the inventory.
Yards positioned across the region mean LA customers are not waiting for a trailer to be trucked in from out of state. Same-day basin delivery is possible because units are already staged close to every corridor we cover, from the San Fernando Valley down through the South Bay and out to the San Gabriel Valley and northern Orange County.
The client list says a lot. LA grocery chains rely on KryoFridge during remodels and holiday overflow. Caterers use the trailers for weddings and corporate events at venues that were never built with commercial cold prep in mind. Studios rent for craft services and location shoots. Licensed cannabis operators use NSF-approved cold storage to stay compliant. Hospitals and clinics call when a walk-in goes offline. When the stakes are high and the margin for error is zero, KryoFridge is the name LA operators pick up the phone for.
An LA grocery chain typically books two to four trailers per holiday cycle: one for Thanksgiving turkey overflow, one or two for Christmas hams and prepared meals, and an extra unit on standby for any walk-in compressor that flags during a peak weekend. Locking those reservations in October instead of scrambling for last-minute availability in November is why grocery relationships matter to us. The predictability flows both ways.
LA's catering and events calendar scales unevenly across the year. Awards season runs January through March. Wedding season peaks May through October across Malibu, the Palisades, Pasadena estates and DTLA rooftops. Studio production runs year-round but surges around series pickups. We staff and stage for those peaks specifically. A caterer landing a 600-guest gala at the LA Convention Center does not want to discover at the rental call that everything is booked, so we hold capacity in reserve for repeat partners.
The healthcare and biotech work is quieter but more sensitive. Clinics need refrigerated overflow during walk-in outages. Vaccine and mobile-health operations need NSF-compliant cold storage that can be set up and validated quickly. These customers rarely mention us publicly, but they renew every year because consistency and documentation matter more to them than a low headline rate.
Cold storage problems do not wait. A walk-in goes down at a restaurant in West Hollywood on a Saturday morning. A wedding caterer realizes the Malibu bluff venue has no cold prep space the day before. A power outage hits a grocery store in the Valley during a heat wave. KryoFridge is built for those moments. Same-day delivery is the norm across the LA basin, and emergency deployments to Hollywood, DTLA, the South Bay and Long Beach can typically mobilize within hours. Every trailer is staged, fueled and ready to roll.
Staged and ready is not a slogan. Every trailer in our active rotation is plugged in, pre-cooled to standby temperature, with its power cord, hitch components and included accessories already loaded. When a dispatch call comes in, the driver does not spend an hour prepping. They hook up and roll. That difference is why we can quote two- to four-hour response windows where competitors quote next-day at best, even with LA traffic factored in.
Weekend coverage is built into the dispatch model. Most rental businesses run weekends thin because labor cost dominates the math. We staff weekends on purpose, because that is exactly when restaurant emergencies, wedding day-of crises and grocery weekend remodels all hit. Our weekend response time matches our weekday response time by design.
Holidays are when other rental companies disappear and we are busiest. Thanksgiving week, Christmas week and the Fourth of July are precisely when grocery overflow, catering scale-ups and emergency walk-in replacements peak across LA. We plan holiday-period staffing for the whole basin. Call the line on a holiday and you reach a person, not a voicemail.
When Santa Ana winds drive a Public Safety Power Shutoff across whole zip codes, when wildfire forces evacuations across the Palisades and the foothills, when a heat wave strains the grid into Flex Alerts, KryoFridge shows up. The company has supported emergency response operations across multiple states, keeping food, medicine and critical inventory viable when the grid gives out. It is why public agencies and relief organizations keep KryoFridge on the short list.
Disaster work is operationally different from a standard rental. The intake is rushed. The documentation is heavier, including FEMA paperwork, mutual-aid agreements and agency procurement codes. The trailer needs to run for weeks at a site without normal infrastructure. And the timeline is hours, not days. An emergency coordinator calling at 2am needs a trailer arriving by morning, fully fueled, ready to plug into a generator at a Red Cross staging area or a fire camp.
We have done this enough that the go-bag of paperwork is pre-built: W-9, COI templates with agency-specific language, vendor registration packets for FEMA and Cal OES, and equipment specs ready to drop into a procurement justification. All of it reaches the requesting agency inside the first hour. That speed is what gets us pulled in repeatedly. Agencies remember which vendors did not make them chase paperwork during a crisis.
For LA-specific scenarios, the playbook is the same. During PSPS events, SCE and LADWP proactively cut power to reduce fire risk, and grocery stores, pharmacies and food banks can lose their cold chain for days. We pre-position regional units with generator kits ready to deploy alongside the trailer, and a dispatch team that does not need an explanation of how disaster procurement works. We have been through enough Southern California fire and heat cycles to know the rhythm.
Every trailer features a rugged single-shell fiberglass design with 4-inch insulated walls and keg-duty floors that handle commercial loading day after day. The 54-inch pallet-sized doors make loading easy, and the cool curtains hold temperature during heavy in-and-out activity. Antimicrobial gel-coated interiors stay clean and sanitary. Bright LED lighting makes the inside as functional as a walk-in cooler. These trailers were built to handle real LA conditions, from inland desert heat to coastal salt air and everything between.
Fiberglass beats aluminum and steel for one specific reason: it does not expand and contract the way metal does across LA's temperature and humidity swings. A unit that runs a 100-degree inland festival one week and a cool coastal wedding the next flexes thousands of times across that delta. Aluminum panels develop seam leaks. Steel rusts at the seam edges, and coastal salt air accelerates it. Fiberglass holds its shape and seal through decades of that cycle.
The 4-inch insulated walls are the difference between holding 0 degrees in a heat wave and watching the temperature climb. Most cargo-trailer conversions use 2-inch walls because that is what comes off the assembly line. The extra two inches of foam costs more up front and saves customers a great deal of product across a rental. For serious cold storage in LA heat, the math always favors thicker insulation.
The keg-duty floor matters because real commercial loading is not a forklift moving one pallet. It is caterers wheeling heavy ice carts in and out 30 times during a 12-hour event, and grocery crews rolling stocking carts across the same threshold all weekend. Standard trailer floors crack under that point-load traffic. Our reinforced floors take the abuse without showing wear, which is why a unit stays in active rotation for years without showing its age.
Every KryoFridge unit handles 0 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit via digital thermostat. The same trailer can serve as a refrigerator for produce and beverages on day one of your event, then a freezer for ice, meat and seafood on day two if the menu shifts. Grocery overflow scenarios sometimes need cold today and freezer tomorrow, and one KryoFridge unit gives you both. All trailers run on a standard 110/120V 20-amp dedicated circuit, keeping power simple at remote LA venues.
Mid-rental temperature swaps are common enough that we plan for them. A grocery remodel that starts as produce overflow might shift to frozen overflow when the second walk-in goes offline. A caterer might run refrigeration for a Friday cocktail event and convert to freezer for a Saturday brunch needing large ice volumes. The digital thermostat handles the swap in roughly two hours of pull-down time. We just need to know in advance so we can plan the empty-and-refill window with you.
Power simplicity is underrated in LA. A 110/120V 20-amp circuit means almost any commercial site, from a restaurant back-of-house to a grocery loading dock to a residential driveway for a backyard event to a festival site with standard event power, can support the trailer without special electrical work. Competitor units often require 220V three-phase, which means an electrician, a permit and added cost and delay on what should be a simple rental.
For sites without grid power, from beach venues to rooftop lots to studio backlots, we deploy with portable generators sized for the trailer's actual draw, not the nameplate rating. The continuous draw of a 6x12 unit holding 35 degrees in summer is around 8 amps. Most rental generators are wildly oversized for that, which wastes fuel and makes noise. We bring right-sized generators that are quieter, more efficient and easy to position discreetly where generator noise would otherwise be a problem.
KryoFridge operates at enterprise scale but never lost the family-owned mentality. Real people answer the phone. LA accounts get treated like long-term partnerships. The same care goes into a backyard Pasadena catering job as goes into a multi-trailer stadium deployment. Twenty-plus years in the rental industry shapes every decision, and LA customers feel that difference from the first phone call through the final pickup.
Family ownership means the people who built the business are still making the day-to-day calls. Pricing, fleet investment, hiring and equipment sourcing all run through people whose name is on the company. National rental franchises run on quarterly metrics and regional-manager turnover. We run on multi-decade relationships, where the same operations leads talk to the same catering and grocery managers year after year.
Long-term partnership pricing is real, not a sales line. Repeat grocery, catering, studio and event customers get pricing that reflects predictable annual volume instead of the per-job retail rate. An LA catering company doing 30 rentals a year pays meaningfully less per rental than a first-time customer renting one trailer for one weekend. Predictable volume reduces our operational risk, and we pass that back to the partners who give us that predictability.
Twenty years in rentals teaches you what the brochures do not. Which compressor brands fail in year five and need to be quietly avoided. Which insurance carriers actually pay claims when a loading dock damages a trailer. Which delivery routes beat the 405 at 4pm. That accumulated knowledge is the real reason we hold the 0% spoilage record. You cannot out-buy experience.
Pick a refrigeration trailer sized for your job. All units hold 0 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, NSF approved, fully insured, and delivered with everything you need to plug in and start cooling.
Same trailers, same NSF approval, same delivery, set to freezer temperatures for ice, meat, seafood, frozen catering inventory and pharmaceutical cold chain.
Same-day delivery across the LA basin, from the San Fernando Valley through DTLA and the Westside down to the South Bay, Long Beach and out to the San Gabriel Valley and northern Orange County. Scheduled delivery to the wider region on request.
Not on the list? We deliver across all of LA County and into Orange County, the Inland Empire and Ventura County. Call us. If it is in the region, we can get there.
Mobile refrigeration solves problems most people don't think about until their walk-in dies on the wrong Friday. Here is what the trailers actually do across LA every week.
Studio lots in Burbank, Hollywood and Culver City and location shoots across the region need craft-services cold storage, talent meds chilled, and on-location refrigeration where there is no infrastructure.
Production cold storage is a signature LA use case, and it is different from event work in two ways. The duration is longer, typically two to six weeks. And the location is often remote, from a desert exterior to a backlot with no power. A unit deployed on a feature shoot has to run on a generator for the full run, hold spec through midday heat that pushes ambient over 100 degrees, and require zero attention from a production team focused on a thousand other things. Our equipment is built for that, and our crews know how to set it and leave.
We coordinate with location managers and FilmLA permit requirements, stage the trailer where it stays out of frame, and keep the unit quiet enough that it does not interfere with sound. Craft services for a crew of 50 to 150, refrigerated holding for catered meals, and secure cold storage for anything continuity-critical on camera all run out of one trailer.
Ralphs, Vons, Gelson's, Northgate Market, Smart & Final, Superior Grocers and Vallarta all face the same problem when a walk-in goes offline or a holiday push outruns capacity. A 6x16 freezer trailer holds the line until the store catches up.
Grocery cold-chain failures cost more per hour than almost any other operational disruption. A single dairy department's perishable inventory can run into five figures. A meat department doubles it. The frozen-foods section in a high-volume LA store carries even more exposure during a peak holiday push. When a walk-in compressor fails or a remodel takes capacity offline, the math is unambiguous: a mobile cold storage trailer pays for itself in the first 90 minutes of preventing spoilage.
Our grocery deployments are typically planned, not emergency. LA-area chains book trailers in advance for known remodel windows, holiday overflow and seasonal cycles. We stage 6x16 units near the loading dock with the side door aligned to existing receiving workflows so stock teams transfer product the same way they would to any internal cooler. For unplanned outages, our same-day response covers the whole basin.
Malibu bluffs, Palisades estates, Pasadena gardens, DTLA rooftops and Westside venues were rarely designed with commercial cold prep in mind. We deliver and stage the trailer where it disappears from the photos.
LA wedding venues are often stunning and operationally limited. The most photogenic locations, from private estates to beach clubs to industrial event spaces, were not built for 500-plate cold prep. Caterers landing those venues have to bring the cold chain with them. We deliver, stage the unit in coordination with the planner and photographer, and position it to stay out of every wide shot.
Wedding-day timing is unforgiving. The cake has to stay cold until presentation. The salad course cannot sit out through the ceremony hour. Champagne service needs ice that is holding shape, not melting. We deliver early enough for the unit to pull down to working temperature before the caterer's load-in, and our drivers understand that quiet is not a preference at a reception, it is a requirement.
A compressor dies on a Friday night before your busiest weekend in Silver Lake, Koreatown or the Arts District. We can be there in hours with a 6x12 set up to replace your walk-in until parts arrive.
Commercial refrigeration repair in LA typically runs three to fourteen days for parts on older or imported equipment. That window is what kills restaurants, not the failure itself. A 6x12 trailer set up in the back lot the same day the walk-in fails keeps you operational through the whole repair cycle. We have done enough of these that the playbook is tight: drop the trailer near the existing walk-in door, run the power cord to a 20-amp circuit, transfer product, and you are back in service within two hours of arrival.
Friday-night and Saturday-morning failures are the most common, because that is when restaurants run peak volume and any thermal stress on an aging compressor finds the weak point. Our weekend dispatch handles those calls the same way it handles weekday emergencies. If you are an LA operator who has lost a walk-in before, you already know the value of having our number in your phone.
SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome in Inglewood, the Hollywood Bowl, the Rose Bowl, BMO Stadium, LA Live and multi-day outdoor festivals all need cold beverage, ice and frozen vendor inventory at scale.
Multi-day and stadium-scale events are the most logistics-intensive cold storage scenario in our regular work. Concert runs at SoFi Stadium, festival footprints at the Rose Bowl and Grand Park, food-truck rallies and downtown street festivals all need centralized cold storage that can serve dozens of beverage and concession vendors at once across a large footprint.
We typically deploy multiple 6x16 freezer trailers for ice and frozen-product staging plus 6x12 refrigeration trailers for beverage holding. Vendors pre-stage inventory in our trailers, draw down through the event days, and we replenish on a delivery rotation. That lets organizers offer one unified cold storage solution instead of every vendor managing its own cooler logistics, which also means a cleaner site footprint and an easier permit conversation with the city. With the 2026 World Cup at SoFi and the 2028 Olympics coming to LA, this is a category we are staffing up for.
Your kitchen prepped for 150. The contract landed at 600 at the LA Convention Center. A KryoFridge 6x16 trailer turns your kitchen into a cold-prep extension overnight.
Most LA catering kitchens are sized for steady-state volume, not the occasional 3x or 5x event. When a caterer lands a 600-guest gala, a studio wrap party or a multi-day conference, the physical kitchen is not the constraint. Cold prep and cold storage capacity is. A 6x16 trailer staged at the kitchen for the prep window turns the operation into a scaled cold-prep extension with no permanent build-out.
The workflow we see most: caterers stage prepared product into the trailer two to four days ahead, hold it at controlled temperature, then load out directly to the event-day refrigerated truck on the morning of the event. The trailer holds inventory tight, the event-day vehicle handles transport, and the kitchen stays free for daily business. That is how LA caterers run high-end events without losing a week of normal work.
The San Pedro and Terminal Island seafood trade, the LA Wholesale Produce Market downtown, and the LA Flower District all run on refrigeration that has to keep working when volumes spike.
LA's wholesale food and floral districts operate on tight cold-chain margins. Seafood coming off the docks at the Port of LA has to hold temperature from the moment it lands. Produce moving through the downtown wholesale market turns over fast and cannot sit warm. The LA Flower District, one of the largest in the country, depends on refrigeration to hold cut-flower inventory through the overnight buying rush and the run-up to Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
When a permanent cooler goes down or a seasonal spike outruns capacity, a KryoFridge trailer gives these operators immediate overflow capacity that meets NSF sanitation standards. We stage the unit for fast in-and-out loading, hold precise temperature for perishable and floral inventory, and keep the cold chain intact through the peak window.
Licensed LA cannabis cultivators and distributors, life-science operators near the coastal biotech corridor, and vaccine clinics all need NSF compliance plus consistent, documented temperature.
Cannabis and pharma rentals require validation before product loads in. We provide pre-deployment temperature mapping showing the trailer holds spec across its full footprint, calibration certificates for the digital thermostat, and continuous temperature logging through the rental window. Licensed cannabis distributors use this documentation to stay METRC-compliant, and the format we produce is what their auditors expect.
Vaccine and mobile-health clinics are another regular use case. A pop-up clinic needs cold storage that meets pharmaceutical standards, deploys within hours, and comes with documentation ready for health-department review. We have done enough of these that the entire deployment kit, from trailer to validation paperwork to COI to after-hours support number, assembles in one phone call.
When a Public Safety Power Shutoff or wildfire takes down the grid across LA neighborhoods, KryoFridge is on the short list public agencies and food banks call to keep the cold chain alive.
Cold-chain failures during outages cascade fast. A PSPS event or wildfire in a Southern California zip code can take down food banks, senior-meal programs, neighborhood grocery stores and pharmacies all at once. Coordinated response means deploying multiple generator-backed trailers within hours to keep critical inventory viable until power is restored. We have run coordinated multi-trailer disaster deployments enough times to have the dispatch model and staging ready.
Public-agency procurement is its own world. Cal OES, county emergency operations centers, FEMA region offices, Red Cross regional ops and food-bank networks all have specific vendor requirements. We are already onboarded with most of them, so an emergency call does not trigger a multi-day setup. The trailers roll while the paperwork resolves in parallel.
Real deployments across LA, from weddings and festivals to restaurants, grocery overflow, studio productions and emergency response. Each photo represents a job we have actually run.
A walk-in cooler does not fail at a convenient time. It fails the Thursday before a holiday weekend, the Friday night before catering 400 plates at a Malibu reception, or the Saturday morning a grocery store has a full case of perishables on the floor and a compressor that just gave up. By the time a refrigeration service company can pull diagnostics, source parts and finish a repair, you have lost product, customers and, for a regulated operator, possibly a passing health inspection.
Mobile refrigeration is the cold-storage equivalent of a backup generator. The math is the same: a modest daily rental cost versus thousands of dollars a day in lost inventory and downtime. Most LA operators figure this out the hard way once, then keep KryoFridge on speed dial after.
A commercial walk-in holds a large amount of perishable inventory depending on the operation. When it fails, you have a window, typically four to eight hours in LA summer temperatures and longer in cooler months, before product climbs into the danger zone and you start writing off inventory. A high-volume grocery store can lose tens of thousands of dollars a day in spoilage and out-of-stocks. A caterer in the middle of a contracted event has even less room for error.
A repair tech can usually diagnose in a few hours. Parts sourcing, especially for older or imported equipment common in LA's dense restaurant scene, can take three to fourteen days. During that window you either lose product, turn business away, or rent mobile refrigeration. KryoFridge typically delivers across the basin within hours of the call, set up and running before the repair tech has even confirmed the parts order.
The smartest LA operators do not wait for a failure. They build a relationship with us before they need one, so when the call happens it is a same-day deployment instead of a 2am scramble across three vendors.
The most common question we get from LA event planners, caterers and restaurant operators is what size do I actually need. Sizing a refrigeration trailer right matters because too small means running back and forth to a backup, and too big means paying for capacity you will never fill. Here is the framework we use when customers call.
The 6x8 offers roughly 96 cubic feet of usable cold storage. That covers a small wedding of 50 to 100 guests, a restaurant's overflow during a busy weekend, a single-day corporate event, or a small grocery remodel. The 6x8 is also the right call when access is the constraint, from narrow Westside alleys to residential driveways to tight DTLA loading zones where footprint is at a premium. It fits where the bigger units do not.
The 6x12 is the trailer we recommend most. 144 cubic feet handles 100 to 300 guests at a wedding or corporate event, fully replaces a typical restaurant walk-in during repair, and supports a multi-day studio production or a medium festival. It is also the right call for caterers scaling up from kitchen capacity. Most find the 6x12 turns their existing prep kitchen into a 2x or 3x output operation without rebuilding anything.
The 6x16 is the answer for events of 300 or more guests, grocery overflow during remodels or holidays, stadium and festival deployments where you are storing thousands of beverages and ice, and disaster response consolidating cold inventory from multiple sources. 192 cubic feet is enough to function as a complete cold-storage backup for a full grocery department.
When in doubt, call us. We have sized thousands of jobs across LA and the Western US. We would rather spend five minutes on the phone than rent you the wrong unit.
Freezer trailer rentals differ from refrigeration trailers in a few specific ways. The equipment is the same, since every KryoFridge unit holds 0 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit via digital thermostat. But how you use it, what you prep on-site, and what LA-specific conditions to plan for are all worth understanding before you book.
Every KryoFridge freezer trailer runs on a 110/120V 20-amp dedicated circuit. Dedicated is the operative word. It means a circuit nothing else is sharing. Plug the trailer into a circuit also running a coffee maker, a printer and the venue's sound system and you will trip the breaker and lose temperature. For LA venues without dedicated circuits, from beach and rooftop events to festival sites to studio backlots, plan generator support in advance. We can deploy with one if you do not have power on-site.
The freezer trailers hold 0 degrees even when inland LA pushes past 100. That is the headline spec. In practice it means the compressor works harder in a heat wave than on a mild coastal day, and the trailer needs unobstructed airflow around the condenser. Do not park it tight against a wall in direct sun if you can avoid it. Give it at least 18 inches of clearance and ideally partial afternoon shade. Our delivery team will recommend placement when we arrive.
The doors are sized for pallet loading and the floor is rated for commercial keg traffic, so forklifts, hand trucks and heavy reusable carriers will not damage anything. Most LA caterers and grocery operators load and unload the trailer the same way they would a regular walk-in. The 54-inch door fits standard pallet jacks, and the cool curtain at the doorway holds temperature through heavy in-and-out activity.
Trailers arrive clean, sanitized and ready for product. The antimicrobial gel-coated interior is wiped down between every rental. We do not expect customers to clean the trailer at the end of a typical rental. We handle that on return. If you have had an extreme spill or product breakage, let us know at pickup and we take it from there.
For peak windows like awards season, the LA Marathon, summer wedding season and holiday catering pushes, book four to eight weeks ahead. For non-event rentals like restaurant or grocery walk-in coverage, one to two weeks is usually enough. Emergencies we handle same-day across the basin whenever inventory allows. Studio productions and long grocery remodels benefit from booking early because they hold a unit for weeks.
For commercial venues, studio lots, stadiums and regulated operators, we provide certificates of insurance with the venue listed as additional insured, temperature logging when required, and any compliance documentation needed before delivery. Request COIs at quote time so they are ready before your trailer arrives.
Call 213-583-3123 or use the form above. Tell us size, dates and delivery city, and we usually quote within an hour.
Once you confirm, we lock in your trailer and delivery window. COI ready for your venue if needed.
Our team delivers, positions, plugs in and does an on-site walkthrough so you are confident running it.
When your rental window ends, we come back, unplug and tow it out. You don't lift a finger.
Pricing depends on trailer size, rental length, delivery distance across the basin, and whether you need event-rate or extended-use terms. Every job is quoted individually so you only pay for what your deployment actually needs. Call 213-583-3123 or send the quote form and we usually respond within the hour.
Same-day delivery is usually available across the LA basin when units are in stock. For emergencies during business hours, we can typically mobilize within 2 to 4 hours. Hollywood, DTLA, Santa Monica, the San Fernando Valley, the South Bay and Long Beach are all within our same-day window.
Yes. We support craft services and catering cold storage on studio lots in Burbank, Hollywood and Culver City and on location shoots across the region. Productions typically rent for two to six weeks, often on generator power at sites with no infrastructure, and our equipment is built to run unattended.
The 6x8 fits events up to about 100 guests or small restaurant overflow. The 6x12 handles 100 to 300 guests or a full walk-in replacement. The 6x16 is for 300-plus guest events, grocery overflow, studio productions and large festivals. When in doubt, call us and we will size it right based on your actual job.
Every KryoFridge unit holds 0 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit via digital thermostat. The same trailer works as a refrigerator or a freezer depending on your setting, and you can shift it mid-rental if your needs change.
Standard requirement is a 110/120V 20-amp dedicated circuit, a normal high-current outlet nothing else is sharing. For beach venues, rooftop lots, studio backlots or festival sites without grid power, we can deploy with generator support.
Yes. Our GOVI ARKTIK 2000US and Kingtec systems are rated to hold 0 degrees Fahrenheit even when inland LA and the Valley push past 100 degrees. The 4-inch insulated walls and single-shell fiberglass body with no panel joints are built specifically for high-heat deployments.
Yes. Every KryoFridge trailer is NSF approved and meets national sanitation standards for food storage, pharmaceutical handling and licensed cannabis operations. LA County health inspectors accept NSF-approved cold storage during walk-in failures and remodels.
All of the above. Event-rate for 1 to 3 days, short-term for 4 to 14 days, and extended-use for 15 days and up. Longer rentals get significantly better daily rates. Studio productions and grocery remodels often run 30 to 90 days.

Yes. NSF approval, temperature logging on request, antimicrobial gel-coated interiors and 0-degree-capable cooling make the trailers suitable for licensed cannabis operations and pharmaceutical and biotech cold chain across LA County.
We run a 24/7 emergency line. If a unit underperforms during a rental, we dispatch a replacement or service tech immediately. Our 0% spoilage incident rate exists because we treat that line seriously and stage backup units across the basin.
Quiet enough that you can stand next to one during a wedding reception, a film set rolling sound, or fine-dining service and hold a normal conversation. We rent to weddings, red-carpet functions and corporate events where ambient noise matters.
For awards season, the LA Marathon, summer wedding season and SoFi Stadium concert runs, book 4 to 8 weeks ahead. For non-event rentals like restaurant or grocery walk-in coverage, 1 to 2 weeks is usually enough. Emergencies are handled same-day whenever inventory allows.
