How we plan getting a trailer to Wasilla
Every rental in Wasilla starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Wasilla, AK moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Wasilla, what failed or what you are planning, and the temperature you need. Emergencies go to (888) 385-5513.
- We match the unit. A 12 ft refrigerated trailer suits tight lots and small kitchens, a 20 ft trailer holds more, and a refrigerated container is for bulk storage over longer jobs.
- Roads that serve Wasilla include George Parks Highway and Glenn Highway. We confirm which approach suits a trailer, how the truck turns onto your site, and whether anything on the last few blocks is posted or restricted.
- Wasilla is about 29 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city on our list. We plan the trip around that distance and the roads between, then confirm timing in your quote.
- We confirm power and placement. The 20 ft trailers list 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps with a NEMA plug, so have an electrician confirm your service. Pick a firm, level spot with room for the door to open and for the truck to reach it.
- Delivery and setup. On site, setup takes about 1 hour for a refrigeration unit, plus 4 to 6 hours if a ramp is needed or 5 to 15 minutes for stairs. Delivery timing, servicing, and minimum terms are written into your quote, and an inquiry does not reserve equipment.

When cold storage fails in Wasilla, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:
In Alaska, calls like this often follow other and earthquake. When conditions like this interrupt a kitchen or a walk-in, a refrigerated trailer rental is the fastest way to protect cold product.
For official emergency information in Alaska, see Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.
- The address in Wasilla (and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough location if it is outside town limits).
- What failed: a walk-in cooler, a freezer, a compressor, or the power itself.
- How much product is at risk, and whether it must stay at 32°F (cooler) or near -5°F (freezer).
- The power available at the site and whether a truck can reach the spot.
- Keep doors closed until the unit arrives so the product holds its temperature as long as possible.
What drives cold-storage demand around Wasilla
Alaska spans several climates. Coastal Southeast and South-central have cool summers and moderate winters, with July highs in the mid 60s F in Juneau and Anchorage. The Interior, around Fairbanks, can reach the 90s F in summer and fall below -50 F in winter, while the Arctic coast stays below freezing for much of the year. Hospitals, grocers, and hospitality operations need dependable cold storage when equipment fails and replacement parts take time to arrive.
Wasilla is the headquarters of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and about 35 percent of its workforce commutes to Anchorage. A growing commuter city with a major sporting event has steady restaurant and catering demand.
Mat-Su Regional Medical Center opened in 2006 just outside city limits, about halfway between Wasilla and Palmer. A regional hospital depends on reliable refrigeration and food service.
Wasilla is the largest city in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, but the borough seat is Palmer. Palmer hosts the Alaska State Fair each late summer, which raises regional food-service demand.
Other risk in Alaska (Year-round): Volcanic ash from Mount Redoubt (2009) and Mount Spurr (1992) has affected Anchorage. Glacial outburst floods from Suicide Basin recur in Juneau, and the 2024 event was declared a disaster. Ash fall and flooding can close facilities and disrupt power, which can create a need for temporary cold storage or kitchens.
Earthquake risk in Alaska (Year-round): A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck about 10 miles north of Anchorage on November 30, 2018, damaging the Glenn Highway and halting the Alaska Railroad. The 1964 Good Friday earthquake was magnitude 9.2. Quake damage to roads, rail and power can interrupt food deliveries and refrigeration, which can create a need for emergency cold storage or a temporary kitchen.
After the November 2018 earthquake, Matanuska Electric Association reported 46,000 customers without electricity immediately. A sudden regional outage can force restaurants, grocers and food processors to look for backup refrigeration.
Food service and business in Wasilla
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Wasilla are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport ranked third in the world for cargo volume in 2025 and is a FedEx hub. Air-freight perishables moving through Anchorage can require temperature-controlled holding space.
Dutch Harbor in Unalaska is described as the largest fisheries port in the U.S. by volume caught, and has held that rank nearly every year since 1981. Large seafood landings depend on cold storage and processing capacity, which can run short at peak times.
Wasilla customers use refrigeration trailers in three common ways: as emergency cover for a failed walk-in, as extra capacity during a peak (a harvest, a festival, a holiday week), and as temporary cold storage during a renovation. See rental prices for what each unit costs, or how to plan your site before delivery.
Demand also rises around events in Alaska: Kenai River personal-use dipnet fishery (July); Southeast Alaska cruise season (May to September). A short surge in visitors can strain food service and create demand for temporary kitchens and fish cold storage.
Equipment you can rent in Wasilla
Refrigeration is our focus, and Wasilla customers rent the same four units as the rest of Alaska:
If the kitchen itself is down, add a mobile kitchen and a dishwashing trailer so Wasilla operators can keep serving while cold storage is covered.
20 ft Refrigerated Trailer
Starting from $1,895 / month
The workhorse. A 20 ft trailer comes as a 32°F cooler or as a low-temperature freezer configuration, so you can match what failed.
20 ft Refrigerated Container
Starting from $2,995 / month
A stationary cold storage box for bulk product, built for longer projects, seasonal peaks, and renovations.
40 ft Refrigerated Container
Starting from $3,995 / month
The largest cold storage option. It takes pallets and bulk product for food distribution, disaster response, and large facilities.
Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Wasilla
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Wasilla is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
DEC's emergency guidance says time and temperature are the key factors after a power outage, treats an extended outage as an imminent health hazard, and asks operators to contact the program before reopening. Food businesses hit by an outage often must document temperatures and restore compliant refrigeration and hot water before reopening.
DEC offers a separate Temporary Food Service Permit Application for short-term events, distinct from the standard food establishment permit. Event caterers using a temporary kitchen should confirm which permit applies before setup.
- Customer type: commercial or industrial only (restaurants, grocers, healthcare, schools, hospitality, distributors, government). We do not rent to residential customers.
- Power: 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps for the 20 ft trailers, with a NEMA plug. Ask your electrician to confirm the circuit at your Wasilla site before delivery.
- Placement: a firm, level surface with room for the trailer, its door swing, and the delivery truck. Soft ground, steep slopes, and overhead lines are the usual problems.
- Access: send the gate or door width, any low clearances, and the best approach into the property.
- Permission: if you rent the property, get the owner or manager's approval to place a trailer. For food-safety questions, contact Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Food Safety and Sanitation Program.
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
