Secure insulated food carrier hire hire for your next event. Maintain safe temperatures for over four hours without external power. Book online today.

Transporting hot or cold meals across large venues requires dependable thermal retention. Booking your insulated food carrier hire hire gives your catering team the ability to maintain safe food temperatures for over four hours without relying on external power sources. This unpowered unit weighs just 6.34kg empty, making it highly portable for remote festival sites, corporate hospitality suites, and temporary kitchens.
Professional caterers need equipment that withstands demanding environments. Each carrier accommodates up to six standard 60x40cm gastronorm trays, giving your kitchen staff ample capacity for bulk meal transport. The 270-degree wide-opening door allows your team to load and unload trays without obstruction during busy service periods. You can position these units anywhere on site, bypassing the need for electrical outlets or generator connections.
Managing logistics for large-scale banquets or outdoor festivals involves coordinating multiple suppliers. Expo Hire simplifies this process through our fully online ordering system. You pay no security deposit on your order, freeing up budget for other event necessities. Every booking automatically receives a Free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against accidental scratches or minor dents during transit and use. On your delivery day, you receive an SMS ETA and a live vehicle tracking link, so your site manager knows exactly when the equipment will arrive.
Measuring 770mm in length and 687mm in height, this thermal transport box fits neatly under standard prep surfaces. Integrating your insulated food carrier hire hire alongside your broader catering equipment hire setup creates a highly functional temporary kitchen. You might also consider adding our table hire options to complete your back-of-house layout. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our Birmingham headquarters or one of our 11 regional depots across England and Wales. Alternatively, you can collect your items directly from our Birmingham warehouse between 7am and 3pm, Monday to Friday.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
