I believe companies who use them also play up the fact that they are quieter, and therefore better for the environment, and to be honest they do have a point.
a fridge trailer is allowed to be slightly wider, and slightly longer than a conventional trailer.
so in theory you could get more payload in the trailer by using up the room normally taken up by the front mounted fridge unit.
you will need some extra long jump leads though.
