In Arkansas, calls like this often follow earthquake and tornado. After a quake, buildings can be closed for inspection while product is still inside; a refrigerated trailer rental gives operators somewhere cold to relocate it.

For official emergency information in Arkansas, see Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (ADEM). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Hope (and the Hempstead County 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.

The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Hope are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Springdale is known as the Poultry Capital of the World and is home to Tyson Foods' headquarters; Tyson (4,300 employees), George's and Cargill are its largest employers. Poultry processors depend on large-scale refrigeration that may need temporary backup or surge capacity.

Stuttgart is a rice center, home to Riceland Foods and Producers Rice Mill and the Dale Bumpers Rice Research Center. Rice and related food processing operate on harvest cycles that can create seasonal storage demand.

Hope 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 Arkansas: Little Rock Marathon (March (first Saturday)); Rodeo of the Ozarks (Early July (Independence Day weekend)). Large race events bring crowds needing temporary food and refrigeration.

Renting a refrigerated trailer in Hope is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.

Plan review is required for new food facilities and remodels, with a fee of 1 percent of estimated cost (minimum $50, maximum $500), and a separate plumbing review applies when plumbing is new or relocated. Temporary structures or kitchens that connect to plumbing at a fixed site may trigger plan review.

A mobile food unit must be self-contained with permanently mounted freshwater and waste tanks, and plans go to the Arkansas Department of Health Environmental Health Protection Branch for review. Mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers should be checked against these self-contained design requirements.

• 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 Hope 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 Arkansas Department of Health, Food Protection Program (Environmental Health Protection Branch).
• Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.

Rates are the same nationwide. Rentals start from $1,895 / month for a 12 ft trailer, and the price sheet prints a separate rate for 1-6 days, 8-14 days, 15 days to 1 month, and more than 3 months. See every rate. Delivery to Hope, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
