Emergency Refrigerated Trailer Rentals for Failed Walk-In Coolers
A commercial walk-in freezer or cooler has broken down, and the product inside will not wait.

Emergency food service and planned cold storage for renovations are both available, from short-term to monthly and long-term. Restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools and institutions call us. We coordinate delivery, placement and power with your team. Call the 24-hour line now to check availability for your site, in Phoenix or Seattle.

When a cooler or freezer fails
Every refrigeration call is an emergency. Cold storage is the easiest thing to add to a rental, for a kitchen near Salem or Eugene just as much as anywhere else. Once a compressor stops, stock begins to warm, and the clock on food safety and product loss starts. A refrigerated trailer gives that product somewhere cold to go while the permanent unit is repaired or replaced.
Call the 24-hour line, give the site address, describe the failure and tell us what you need to protect. We will talk through the unit, power and placement. Availability depends on the unit and your location.
Three 20ft temperature configurations
We rent 20ft refrigerated trailers at three temperatures: 32°F for chilled product, 15°F for medium-temperature storage and -5°F for frozen. Those figures are the temperatures we quote, not guaranteed operating ranges, so confirm the unit's performance for your product before relying on it. Every refrigeration call is an emergency, and a restaurant near Spokane loses stock on the same clock as anyone else.

Specs →What you need on site
A refrigerated trailer needs very little, but it needs it quickly.
- A 220V single-phase supply rated 40 to 60A with a suitable receptacle.
- A level, accessible spot close to the loading point or kitchen door.
- A plan to move product in promptly and record temperatures during the rental.
Cold storage with a kitchen
If the kitchen is down as well, ask about a combo kitchen with a built-in walk-in cooler or pair a mobile kitchen with a refrigerated trailer.
From an interruption to a working routine.
If the kitchen closes unexpectedly
When a kitchen goes down, the first questions are practical: how many meals are due, what utilities survived and where does a trailer fit. Emergency refrigerated trailers start from those answers. The line is open around the clock, and an emergency rental is handled the same way as a planned one, only faster to start.
Keep photos of the failure and the utility connections; they help the health authority and your insurer as well as us. The first call about a failed kitchen sounds the same from Salt Lake City or Anchorage: what stopped, how many meals are due and where a trailer can sit.
While construction moves
On an active site, the trailer competes with cranes, deliveries and crews for space. Share a site sketch and the phasing, and emergency refrigerated trailers can be placed where they will not be in the way. Long-term leasing suits work that runs for months.
If power is temporary, size it for the model: a kitchen trailer on 220V single phase needs 200A or more, and a dishwashing trailer can need up to 300A.
Before a renovation closure
The best time to arrange a temporary kitchen is before the permanent one closes. A trailer on site early lets your staff test the line, adjust the flow and get health-authority review done while the old kitchen is still running, so emergency refrigerated trailers is ready on the day the doors close. Facilities near Portland and Salem that arrange a temporary kitchen before demolition tend to have the easier first week.
Walk the trailer with your kitchen team before service starts, and agree who receives deliveries, who cooks and who washes on each shift.
At the trailer delivery entrance
A trailer cannot reach a pad it cannot enter. Check clearances, soft ground and weight limits on the route, and tell us about security checks or quiet hours. We plan the approach for emergency refrigerated trailers with your site contact.
Ramps take about 4 to 6 hours to set and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either. Gates, overhead lines and soft ground cause more delivery trouble than distance, for sites around Eugene and Spokane alike.
In the quote for the unit you rent
Quotes spell out what is included: the trailer, the term, delivery, setup and pickup, and what the site must provide. For emergency refrigerated trailers, send the address, the start date and the utilities you have, and the quote reflects them.
Read the rental costs page for the factors that move a quote, and the rental terms guide for periods and pickup. Delivery distance moves a quote more than people expect: a site near Salt Lake City and one near Anchorage are not priced alike just because the unit is.
What decides how well a rented kitchen works.
Six decisions cover most of what decides whether a rented kitchen is cooking on schedule.
Prepare for arrival
Have the pad leveled, the service checked and the water hookup located before you rent or lease the unit.
Talk through an urgent need
If it cannot wait, call. The 24-hour line takes emergency and planned requests alike.
Keep the work connected
A kitchen, a dishwashing trailer and refrigerated storage work best when they are laid out as one system.
Match the rental period
Rentals run from one week to monthly, and long-term leasing is available; pick the period that covers the repair or the project with some margin. Pick the rental period for the repair, not the invoice; a kitchen for a site near Portland should outlast the schedule.
Choose the rental layout
Pick the size and configuration to rent for emergency refrigerated trailers from the model pages, then confirm the exact unit when you request a rental quote.
Plan service access
Service access covers the entry, the delivery point and the way wastewater leaves. Agree where suppliers unload, where the steps or ramp go and how the trailer will be collected, so nothing blocks a fire lane or an exit.
Add only the facilities the site needs
Emergency refrigerated trailers come first, and the rest follows from the site. Where crews live and work on site, restroom trailer rentals (for example the Standalone Restroom Trailer) and shower trailer rentals (the 20ft Five-Stall Shower Container) can sit beside the kitchen. We confirm the exact unit and price in a written quote.
