How we plan getting a trailer to Little Rock
Every rental in Little Rock starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Little Rock, AR moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Little Rock, 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 Little Rock include I-30 and I-40. 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.
- Little Rock is the largest city we list in Arkansas, so most requests here are about dock access, narrow lots, and timing around business hours rather than long road miles.
- 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.

In Arkansas, calls like this often follow ice storm and drought. When an outage runs long, a 20 ft refrigerated trailer rental gives a kitchen, grocer, or care facility cold space to move product into while the building recovers.
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 Little Rock (and the Pulaski 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.
What drives cold-storage demand around Little Rock
Arkansas summers are hot and humid, with average highs above 90 F across central and southern parts of the state, and the state record is 120 F at Ozark in 1936. Winters are mild to cold; January lows average under 25 F in the Ozarks and over 34 F in the southwest, with occasional ice storms. Restaurants, grocers, food distributors, and healthcare kitchens in the region often rent a trailer when a compressor fails in the heat.
Little Rock is headquarters to Dillard's, Windstream, Simmons Bank and Bank OZK, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is the state's largest public employer with over 10,500 employees. Large hospital and university kitchens need dependable refrigeration and can need backup capacity.
Arkansas Children's Hospital, Baptist Health Medical Center and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System are located in Little Rock. Hospital kitchens are critical facilities that may need temporary warewashing or cold storage during outages.
The Little Rock Marathon is held the first Saturday of March, and War Memorial Stadium hosts Razorback football and state high school championships. Stadium and race events create demand for temporary food service.
Ice storm risk in Arkansas (December to February): The January 2009 ice storm left about 300,000 homes in northern Arkansas without power. In February 2021 Little Rock hit -1 F and Fayetteville set an all-time low of -20 F. Ice storms and deep freezes often cause multi-day outages that can threaten stored food and stop commercial kitchens.
Drought risk in Arkansas (Summer): Severe droughts hit in 2005-2007 and 2010-2012, and in 2012 all 75 Arkansas counties received drought-related disaster declarations. Heat and drought stress agriculture and can create seasonal cold storage demand for early or concentrated harvests.
The February 2021 winter storm sent Little Rock to -1 F, its coldest in more than 30 years, while grid operators in the south-central U.S. ordered rolling blackouts across 14 states. Extreme cold can strain regional grids and cause outages that threaten walk-in coolers and freezers.
Food service and business in Little Rock
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Little Rock are health systems, school districts and campuses, hotel and banquet kitchens, grocery chains, cold-storage and distribution operators, and large events.
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.
Little Rock 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: Rodeo of the Ozarks (Early July (Independence Day weekend)); Hope Watermelon Festival (August). Large rodeo crowds create demand for concessions and temporary food service.

Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Little Rock
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Little Rock 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 Little Rock 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.
