Coolroom Hire Tips

Coolrooms are essential when you have an event that requires cool drinks and food. Unfortunately, an oversight that people make when hiring coolrooms is failing to interview the company providing the equipment. Below are some questions to help you interview coolroom rental companies. With luck, it will ensure you get a coolroom that meets your needs. 

What Size Of Cool room Do You Have?

Your event needs will determine the size of the coolroom that you require. You may be tempted to hire a small coolroom since you do not anticipate storing a lot of food or drinks. However, changing circumstances could compel you to store more items in the coolroom. Therefore, rent a coolroom that is slightly larger than what you need. You should also assess the features of the coolroom. For instance, compartments will make it easier for you to store your items. 

What Is The Power Source Of The Cool Room? 

It is a critical consideration when hiring a coolroom for an outdoor event where the location does not have power. Ideally, you want a coolroom that comes with an independent power source such as a generator. In this case, ask how long the generator will run before it runs out of fuel. 

What Are The Temperature Ranges Of The Cool Room? 

Your foods and drinks will determine the temperature ranges of the coolroom. For example, you could opt for a coolroom with lower temperature ranges if you intend to store meats and make ice-cold drinks. On the other hand, a coolroom with higher temperatures will be ideal for storing fruits and vegetables. 

What Are The Terms Of Hire? 

Below are some things to look out for when assessing the company's terms of hire: 

• Most companies will offer transport services. However, check whether these services are free or discounted.
• Inquire whether the company will provide qualified personnel to install the cool room.
• Check the terms of use. For instance, you could be asked to shut off the coolroom after a specified number of hours. Besides, the company could prohibit you from storing specific items.
• When does the hiring period commence? If it starts when the coolroom leaves the company premises, you will have to pay the standard rates when the equipment is in transit. 

When hiring a coolroom, determine the size that you need, an ideal power source, the temperature ranges of the coolroom and the terms of hire.
