No tow vehicle? No problem, we deliver and collect across the whole Northern Rivers.

One fleet, four kinds of cold

Weddings, parties and events

The classic hire. A coolroom at the venue or in the backyard holds the catering, the cake and every last drink at a safe temperature from the night before until pack-down. For most weddings of 80 to 150 guests, the medium trailer is the one.

Markets, festivals and food vendors

Stallholders hire small and medium units for weekend markets, while festivals book the large tandem-axle unit for bar and vendor stock. Everything tows to site and runs off standard power.

Restaurants, farms and long-term storage

When the walk-in is full for the season, the kitchen is being renovated, or harvest needs somewhere cold, a monthly hire parks reliable cold storage at your back door for a fraction of the cost of building one.

Emergency breakdown backup

A dead commercial fridge doesn't wait for business hours. Call us and we'll get a coolroom to your pub, cafe or butchery as fast as we can arrange it, so your stock survives the repair.

Cool room hire FAQs

Every question we get asked, answered straight.

How much does cool room hire cost in the Northern Rivers?

Mobile coolroom hire in the Northern Rivers typically runs $300 to $450 for a weekend and $400 to $600 for a week, depending on the size of the unit, the season and delivery distance. Long-term hire starts around $1,300 a month. Call us on 0416 224 174 and we'll give you an exact free quote for your dates.

What power supply does a mobile cool room need?

A standard 10 amp, 240 volt power point, the same as a normal household outlet. You'll need a heavy-duty power cord (not a white household extension lead) plugged directly into the outlet. Power boards and double adaptors can't be used.

Can I tow the coolroom myself?

Yes. If your car has a tow ball and a 7-pin flat plug you're welcome to collect from our Lindendale depot. If not, we'll deliver and collect the coolroom for you anywhere in the Northern Rivers.

Do you deliver and pick up?

Yes. We deliver to Lismore, Ballina, Casino, Byron Bay, Alstonville and right across the Northern Rivers, position the coolroom where you need it, and collect it when your hire is done.

What size cool room do I need?

As a rough guide: a small unit handles drinks and catering for a backyard party of a few dozen, a medium unit suits weddings and events of 80 to 150 guests, and our large tandem-axle unit is built for festivals and functions with a couple of hundred people. Tell us about your event and we'll match you to the right trailer.

Can the cool rooms run as freezers?

Yes. Every unit in our fleet is both refrigerated and freezer capable, so ice cream, frozen stock and ice stay solid even in the middle of summer.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier the better between September and March, when weddings, festivals and the summer heat book the fleet out fast. For winter dates a week or two of notice is usually plenty, and it never hurts to call about short notice hire.

What is the minimum hire period?

There's no lock-in to long hires: you can hire overnight, for a weekend, a week, or months at a time for ongoing storage.

Are the cool rooms clean and food safe?

Every trailer is thoroughly cleaned and serviced between hires. Inside you'll find sealed floors and galvanised wire shelving that keeps food off the ground and airflow moving.

What do I need to set up on site?

A reasonably level spot the trailer can be towed into and a standard power point within reach of a heavy-duty extension lead. Grass, gravel or concrete are all fine. We'll position the trailer and get it cooling when we deliver.

What's included with the hire?

Internal wire shelving, an external temperature gauge, and fold-down rear steps on the larger units. The coolroom arrives cleaned, serviced and ready to plug in.

Can I pick up or return outside business hours?

Our standard hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, but talk to us if you need to collect or drop off outside those times and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Where are you located?

5 Alphadale Rd, Lindendale NSW 2480, at the Alphadale crossroads about 10 minutes from Lismore. Please call ahead before visiting so we can make sure someone is on site to meet you.

What areas do you service?

The whole Northern Rivers: Lismore, Ballina, Casino, Byron Bay, Alstonville, Lennox Head, Kyogle, Mullumbimby, Evans Head and everywhere in between.

Do you hire cool rooms for weddings and festivals?

All the time. Weddings, festivals, markets, corporate events, sporting clubs and B&S balls are our bread and butter. We'll deliver before the event, and collect after it wraps up.

Can businesses hire a cool room long term?

Yes. Restaurants, cafes, pubs, butchers and farms use our coolrooms as overflow cold storage during busy periods, renovations or equipment breakdowns. Monthly rates make long-term hire economical.
