When a restaurant’s walk-in cooler dies, they need a replacement yesterday.
That’s a business opportunity: buy an insulated trailer with a freezer unit, rent it out in emergencies 
A rental business insider with 200+ clients in the space shared the concept on Reddit.
The comments from actual customers backed it up 
When my commercial kitchen needed to replace a walk in cooler, I called everyplace within 50 miles of me and not one rental company had an available trailer to rent.
A food truck owner chimed in…
I’ve paid $800 for a weekend rental once a summer for five years when my food truck is at a festival we can’t leave from.
Five summers running from a single customer 
Startup cost is $25,000 to $45,000 for one trailer. Rates range from $130/day for smaller units up to $400/day in bigger markets.
But emergencies aren’t the only market. One operator had two trailers rented to the military for 8 to 12 months straight 
Customer acquisition is surprisingly simple – a website, a Google Business listing, and some Google Ads. Emergency customers are Googling, not browsing.
Can’t afford the upfront cost? Find an investor to fund the trailer while you provide the “sweat equity.” Split profits until they’ve doubled their money
