SOME OF OUR CLIENT FEEDBACK
We’ve been using Cradle Coast Hire for 3 years now. The coolrooms are neat and tidy, the shelving units suit us and the trailers are easy to tow. We can even pick them up pre-cooled ready to go. Jake has been helpful and flexible, delivering and setting up the coolrooms for us. Highly recommend.
