I noticed these trailers, they have typical reefer trailer fuel tanks, and what looks a lot like a container generator set underneath. Any idea what they are for?

Anyone know why these textile trailers have fuel tanks?

That compartment directly behind the tank has vents so my money would be on a generator being in there. If they are storing textiles outside in florida it might be for dehumidification to keep mold and mildew at bey...but entirely a guess.

Maybe they have mobile laundry machines inside, to use for special events.
Maybe these trailers double as emergency relief trailers, in the case of a catastrophic storm...providing mobile laundry or just power.
Unless it's the lighting, the panels at the front of the trailer (in your photo) look different. Maybe the front of the truck is refrigerated. Do they use these to transport floral arrangements? Or perhaps soap/shampoo, which shouldn't sit in a 120* truck.

I like toms answer. That might be a propane tank used for collant. Allot of portable refrigerators on traitors and in RV's are cooled by propane, yes propane also works as a coolant.

Definitely a diesel tank and a reefer. I would expect that they cool the trailers during the intensely hot summer months when they are being loaded and unloaded. The personnel loading and unloading the truck will over heat quite quickly when the inside of the trailer could easily get well above the 120 degree mark in the sun. The workers load these from ground level going up and down using the lift gate which you can see mounted to the back of the trailer.
