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 Osceola (and the Mississippi 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 Osceola are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Arkansas ranks third nationally in channel catfish aquaculture, with $71.5 million in sales in 2007, about 16 percent of the U.S. market. Aquaculture harvest and processing needs refrigerated holding.

Fort Smith manufacturers include Kraft Heinz (Planters), Gerber and Pernod Ricard-USA, and OK Foods employs about 1,900. Food and beverage plants rely on refrigeration and cold chain capacity.

Osceola 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: King Biscuit Blues Festival (October); Wings Over The Prairie Festival and World Championship Duck Calling Contest (November (Thanksgiving week)). Multi-day music festivals raise demand for catering and warewashing.

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

The Arkansas Department of Health requires a permit for food sold to the public that needs temperature control, including restaurants, schools, mobile units and concession stands. A temporary kitchen serving the public generally needs a health permit.

Temporary food establishment permits cover a single event or celebration of 14 consecutive days or fewer and are applied for through the local county health unit. Event or emergency kitchens that run longer than 14 days may need a different permit.

• 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 Osceola 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 Osceola, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
