Plan Your Cold Storage Rental Before Delivery: Power, Placement and Access
A few decisions made before the truck arrives decide how fast your refrigerated trailer rental or refrigerated container lease starts holding temperature. This guide walks through them in order.
Five decisions, in order
- Define the need. What is stored, how much, and at what temperature. Our 20 ft refrigerated units list 32°F, 15°F and -5°F classes.
- Choose the spot. A level area close to the loading door, with room for a truck to back in and for staff to reach the door.
- Connect power. The 20 ft refrigerated units in our records list 220V, single phase, 40-60 amps with a NEMA plug. Do not assume other models match; send us your site's service.
- Plan access. Gate widths, overhead lines, turning room and any stairs. A ramp adds 4 to 6 hours of setup; stairs add 5 to 15 minutes.
- Review the quote. Delivery, setup, servicing and minimum terms are confirmed in writing before you book. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
Short-term rental or long-term lease
A short-term rental fits a repair week or a surge. A long-term lease fits a renovation or a replacement with a long lead time. Our prices are listed for 1-6 days, 8-14 days, 15 days to 1 month and more than 3 months, so you can see the step down for longer terms on each unit page.
Planning a mobile kitchen or dishwashing trailer
Kitchens and dish trailers need more than power. Plan potable water, wastewater (sewer access, a holding tank or pump-out), a level footprint, and the permits your jurisdiction requires. Health, building, fire and temporary-use approvals vary by location, facility and use, and the same permit does not apply everywhere. We offer health permit assistance as an add-on on kitchen pages.
