4 Commonly Asked Questions About the Use of Reefers in the Event Industry

Refrigerated containers have been in widespread use for decades, including within the event industry. As live events face ever-increasing expectations from the public and tighter controls by regulator’s, refrigerated containers are an increasingly useful asset.

Here are four key points that event organisers might be interested in:

1. Spacewise can deliver refrigerated containers across the UK

Refrigerated containers are easy to transport by road, so they can be used in both rural and urban locations. When you lease containers from a premium provider like Spacewise, you can count on a guaranteed delivery to almost any UK site in a timely manner. We also provide Free no obligation site survey carried out by our dedicated inhouse team.

2. Refrigerated containers can be used to store a range of goods onsite

Refrigerated containers can support temperatures as low as -35 ͦC, so they are suitable for goods that require consistent and uninterrupted temperature control. This means food, drink and other supplies needed at an event can be stored securely in containers on-site. The internal cooling system maintains the temperature at the same level, even when the weather outside is very hot. However, goods should be loaded in a frozen state, as reefers are not well equipped for blast freezing or similar procedures necessary to conserve fresh products.

3. Refrigerated Containers can be used to hold goods securely in a Public Space

Refrigerated containers are made of the strongest materials, making them resistant to vermin and theft. Additional security can be installed in the form of a remote monitoring system that provides round-the-clock reassurance.

4. Short-term Lease options are available for refrigerated containers

Customers from the event industry have a range of favourable options when it comes to leasing refrigerated containers from Spacewise. Storage units of three convenient sizes can be acquired ahead of events and returned after their completion. Spacewise provides long and short leases tailored to meet the needs of companies operating within the event industry, contact us today for more information.

BULKPOWDERS

Thank you very much for the service provided by Spacewise. BULKPOWDERS rented 3 x 40ft Refrigerators for the summer season. An excellent service from our initial phone call through to the end of the agreement. Great communications, ease of contract, quick delivery of selected refrigerators, with a faultless rental agreement period. Thank you for the service

Equipment delivery is good quality and clean. Commissioning (usually next day unless otherwise organised) is complete by suitably qualified engineers and an ‘operating’ explanation given to the end user.

In addition their after-sales support is very good, tech. offering advice and engineer if deemed appropriate.

We contacted Spacewise to supply us with 2 refrigeration storage units on behalf of the client and their bar supplier as a long hire during the peak season. We haven’t experienced a single problem with them and we have found the team to be helpful and reliable at all times. Happy bar company, happy client! They come highly recommended.
