When it comes to ice cream storage and transportation, temperature control isn’t just important, it’s essential. Ice cream is especially sensitive to even slight temperature shifts, which can degrade flavor, texture, and quality. A misstep in storage or transport can lead to melted product, lost revenue, and unhappy customers. That’s where Polar King Mobile refrigerated and freezer trailers shine.
Engineered for Sub-Zero Reliability
Polar King Mobile delivers superior cold chain performance tailored to the needs of frozen desserts:
- The 6′ × 8′ (PKM68) model reaches as low as –10 °F.
- The 6′ × 12′ unit maintains –5 °F, both offering a dependable environment for ice cream, sorbet, gelato, and more.
These all-electric units require just 110 V and 15 amps, combining energy efficiency with ease of use.
Built for Cleanliness and Durability
Polar King Mobile trailers employ a 100% seamless fiberglass design with rounded corners and NSF-approved non-slip floors, ideal for both sanitation and safety. The seamless surface resists moisture infiltration and simplifies cleaning, ensuring units stay factory-fresh with routine care.
Flexible, Compliant, Ready to Go
Available in three standard sizes (6’× 8’, 6’× 12’, 6’× 16’), units comply with NATM safety standards and meet FDA/USDA requirements for food transport. They’re rugged enough for road use and mobile cold storage alike; perfect for ice cream vendors, caterers, convenience stores, pop-ups, and seasonal shops.
Maximizing Ice Cream Quality with Polar King Mobile
Getting the best results from your Polar King Mobile trailer means combining its advanced refrigeration capabilities with smart cold chain practices. Here are proven strategies to keep your frozen treats in top condition from storage to delivery:
1. Keep a Constant Eye on Temperature
Use digital thermometers or data loggers inside the trailer to track conditions in real time. This allows you to spot and correct any temperature changes before they compromise product quality.
2. Protect Flavor and Texture
When storing multiple products, prevent flavor transfer and ice crystal buildup by:
- Using tightly sealed containers or covering the surface with plastic wrap.
- Keeping strong-smelling foods away from your ice cream, odors can be absorbed even when frozen.
3. Start Cold, Stay Cold
Pre-cool both the trailer and the ice cream before loading. Aim for a balanced load that keeps cold air circulating freely full enough to hold temperatures steady, but never so packed that airflow is blocked.
4. Fine-Tune with Thermal Mapping
Placing temperature sensors throughout the trailer helps identify warm or cold spots. Adjusting your storage layout based on this data ensures consistent conditions across the entire load.
5. Plan Routes for Speed and Efficiency
The less time ice cream spends outside its ideal temperature, the better. Organize deliveries to reduce delays during unloading and use route data to streamline future runs, lowering the risk of thawing or refreezing.
