Outstanding Service from Nelson Portable Coolrooms

Shane provided prompt, professional service and made the whole process incredibly easy. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I picked up the trailer, taking the time to make sure everything was set up perfectly. I would happily recommend Nelson Portable Coolrooms to anyone looking for a reliable portable coolroom for their next event. Excellent experience from start to finish

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shane is great to deal with, from first contact to picking up the finished product. We had been looking for a chiller on and off for years and finally decided to make a purchase. Discussing our needs with Shane we decided on a 1.5m wide x 1.8m deep, meat rail on one side and 2 eyes on the other with lifting brackets on the corners. Small enough to trailer but big enough for what we need. Perfect, thanks Shane,  Cheers Pete and Anne

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired a Chiller trailer from Nelson Portable Coolrooms for our Wedding in Feb. Shane and Rebecca were very helpful and easy going, communication was great and the chiller was perfect for our needs. We needed to take it to Golden Bay and they were flexible with pickup and dropoff times which was great. The option for having shelves was very handy. Will definitely use again when needed and recommend to friends hosting events.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are fantastic. I have purchased 5 chiller trailers from NPC now. The chillers are fantastic. The service from Shane and Bex is top notch, nothing is too much trouble and the chillers have been nothing but flawless, even under the heavy use they receive in the hire industry. There’s a reason I have gone back to NPC time and time again despite me being at the opposite end of the country- they’re the best in the business, hands down. I look forward to purchasing more trailers in the future.
