7 Ft Refrigerated Truck Rental in Santa Cruz – Small Reefer, Big Help
Fresh Produce Should Arrive Looking Fresh
Fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs can be surprisingly vulnerable once they’re out on the road. On a warm day, even a relatively short delivery can expose delicate produce to temperatures that leave leafy greens wilted and other fruits and vegetables looking less than their best.

That’s where our 7 ft refrigerated truck rental in Santa Cruz can come in handy.
Independent Rental Co.’s smaller reefer truck gives you refrigerated transportation when you need to keep your cargo cool but don’t need the capacity of a full-size 16 ft refrigerated box truck.
Need the 7 ft reefer for an upcoming delivery? Call us at 831-426-0900 to check availability and reserve it.
A Smaller Refrigerated Truck for Smaller Loads
Not every refrigerated delivery requires a large truck.
Sometimes you’re delivering a few loads of fresh produce to restaurants. Maybe you’re bringing flowers to an event, transporting prepared food for a catering job, or taking products to a farmers market.
For jobs like these, renting more truck than you need doesn’t necessarily make sense.
Our 7 ft reefer provides a compact option for businesses and individuals who need refrigerated transportation for smaller loads.
It can be useful for:
-
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
-
- Leafy greens and herbs
-
- Flowers and floral arrangements
-
- Prepared foods
-
- Catering supplies
-
- Farmers-market products
-
- Restaurant deliveries
-
- Beverages and event supplies
-
- Other items that need to stay cool during transportation
Because this truck is intended for refrigerated, above-freezing transportation, talk with us about what you’re carrying and the temperature requirements for your cargo. If you need frozen or below-freezing capability, ask us about our larger 16 ft refrigerated truck.
See Our 7 Ft Reefer Before You Rent It
Sometimes pictures don’t tell you enough about a rental truck.
That’s why we’ve taken a new walk-around video of our 7 ft refrigerated truck, including both the exterior and the refrigerated cargo area inside.
Take a look before you call. You’ll get a much better idea of the truck’s size, interior layout and whether it may be a good fit for what you need to transport.

And if you’d rather see it in person, stop by our Westside Santa Cruz location. If the truck isn’t out on rent, we’ll be happy to show it to you.

Protect What You’re Transporting
When you’ve invested time and money into fresh produce, flowers, prepared food or other temperature-sensitive products, transportation is part of protecting that investment.
Imagine loading beautiful fresh greens in Santa Cruz for a delivery over the hill on a hot afternoon. Or preparing trays of food and beverages for an event when temperatures are climbing.
A regular cargo vehicle can get hot surprisingly quickly.
Using refrigerated transportation gives you another layer of protection between loading and delivery—and some peace of mind along the way.
Need More Refrigerated Space?
We also rent a 16 ft refrigerated box truck for larger refrigerated loads.
The larger reefer gives you substantially more cargo space and is the better choice when your load requires the capacity—or colder capabilities—of a full-size refrigerated truck.
Not sure which one you need?
Call us.

Tell us what you’re transporting, approximately how much you have and where you’re going. We’ll help you determine whether the smaller 7 ft reefer or the larger 16 ft refrigerated truck makes more sense for the job.
Early Delivery? Ask About an Early Pickup
Trying to get on the road early?
We understand.
Getting an early start can be especially helpful when you’re making Bay Area deliveries and trying to get ahead of traffic—or when fresh and temperature-sensitive products need to reach their destination early in the day.
Call us and ask about an early pickup. We’ll do our best to work with your schedule.
