I’ve spent two decades in citrus exports, and honestly, finding reliable refrigerated trailers was a nightmare. Since we moved to Big Mex’s 40ft reefers, not a single shipment has been rejected for spoilage. Their containers hold temperature steady, even when moving from the Limpopo heat to Cape Town’s chill. That’s the kind of consistency I trust.

In the township grocery trade, losing cold stock hits hard. Since installing Big Mex’s 20ft walk-in freezer, my spoilage dropped to near zero. It’s quiet, efficient, and my customers always find fresh meat. No regrets.

On a dusty mining site near Kuruman, luxury is rare. But our 10' cabin containers gave my team a proper place to sleep — air conditioning, real beds, even emergency lighting. It’s those small comforts that kept morale high through the long project.

Running long-haul chilled goods from Cape Town to Windhoek used to mean stress over breakdowns. Since buying two 40ft reefers from Big Mex, my cargo of dairy and meat stays perfect from dock to depot. These trailers earn their keep.

As a boutique lodge owner, space matters. We needed additional guest rooms quickly, without wrecking the landscape. Big Mex’s high cube cabin containers were the perfect solution. Guests call them ‘cozy luxury’ — we call them brilliant business.

The fishing business is unforgiving — bad cold storage costs money daily. Big Mex’s 20ft freezer container is the best investment I made last year. My hake, snoek, and kingklip stay fresh, and the unit’s insulation is world-class.

Load-shedding killed my old refrigerated unit. Big Mex supplied a trailer with a built-in diesel backup, and now, even during power cuts, my frozen produce stays intact. In this market, that's the difference between profit and disaster.

We had an outdoor event catering contract for 1,200 guests — no kitchen, no cold storage. Big Mex delivered a 20ft walk-in cooler. Plugged it in, stocked it up, and we didn’t lose a single liter of milk or tray of prawns. Lifesaver.

Most site cabins are tin boxes. Big Mex cabins? Proper living spaces. My workers didn’t just have shelter — they had real rest. After 14-hour shifts in the Karoo heat, that meant fewer accidents and better productivity.

From first inquiry to delivery, Big Mex was professional. They didn’t just sell me a reefer — they explained what worked for my trucking routes and helped optimize my refrigeration fuel spend. Proper business partners.

We bought four 10’ cabins for a solar farm project — minimal setup, low maintenance, perfect for rough terrain. Even after 18 months, no corrosion, no system failures. True plug-and-play living spaces.

Big Mex was not the cheapest quote — but it was the smartest choice. Quality costs less in the long run, and my first reefer trailer from them is still running cold and smooth after two seasons.

Our first 20ft freezer from Big Mex proved itself during last year’s mango season. We stored thousands of crates without a single complaint from buyers about freshness. Couldn’t have scaled up without it.

Construction sites move fast — and so do we. Big Mex’s 10’ cabins moved with us. Easy to load, quick to set up, and strong enough to handle Gauteng storms without leaks.

We cater weddings in the middle of nowhere — vineyards, game reserves, beaches. Big Mex’s walk-in coolers let us promise clients ‘cold champagne and fresh oysters’ no matter where the party is.

When you’re moving flowers from Bloemfontein to Joburg, timing and temperature are everything. Our Big Mex refrigerated trailers don’t just move cargo — they protect our livelihood.

Buying a 10' cabin seemed risky — would it really be livable? Turns out, it's more comfortable than most onsite prefabs I've used. Air con, sturdy bunk beds, even a proper table to work on.

I’ve tried five different suppliers over the years. None came close to Big Mex’s customer service — real advice, real follow-up. My 40ft reefer is still running like day one, 18 months later.

On the farm, we used to struggle with short-term storage during peak harvest. Now, our 20ft cooler sits ready year-round. Simple, solid, dependable — and made harvest season so much easier.

Remote sites need secure offices, fast. Big Mex’s cabin containers gave us fully fitted out, lockable units with zero fuss. Best part? They look professional — not like an afterthought.

Our Big Mex walk-in freezer handled everything from venison to champagne during a major hunting expo. Zero faults, perfect temperature, and an easy setup with just a 220V plug-in.

The real test? Summer heatwaves. My Big Mex 20ft freezer held steady at -18°C even when the outside temp hit 40°C. That’s not luck — that’s quality engineering.

There are cheaper options out there, sure. But none that matched Big Mex’s build quality, customer service, and after-sales support. It’s a proper investment, not a gamble.
