How we plan getting a trailer to Pocahontas
Every rental in Pocahontas starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Pocahontas, AR moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Pocahontas, 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 Pocahontas include US-62 and US-67. 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.
- Pocahontas is roughly 132 straight-line miles northeast of Little Rock, Arkansas's largest city on our list. A longer trip means we plan routes, weather, and delivery timing with more care, and we confirm both 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.
Emergency refrigeration support in Pocahontas
When cold storage fails in Pocahontas, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:
In Arkansas, calls like this often follow tornado and flood. Operations that cannot wait for the grid to return can rent a refrigerated trailer as backup walk-in space and keep inventory at holding temperature.
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 Pocahontas (and the Randolph 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 Pocahontas
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.
Pocahontas has manufacturers of truck trailers, shoes, communications components and wood products, plus Black River Technical College and St. Bernards Five Rivers Medical Center. Manufacturers, a college and a hospital all have food service needs.
Tornado risk in Arkansas (Spring peak, with outbreaks also recorded in other months): Arkansas averaged about 40 tornadoes a year from 1995 to 2024. The April 27, 2014 Mayflower/Vilonia tornado killed 16, and a May 26, 2024 outbreak caused 10 deaths. Tornado damage can destroy kitchens and cold storage and cut power, which often creates a need for temporary refrigeration and kitchens.
Flood risk in Arkansas (Spring, with major river floods in other seasons): The 1927 Mississippi River flood inundated 36 counties, and May 2011 floods submerged more than 1 million acres of farmland. Nine of the last ten years through 2024 had above-average numbers of 3-inch rain days. Floods can force food businesses to relocate stock and may need temporary kitchens and warewashing during cleanup.
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 Pocahontas
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Pocahontas 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.
Pocahontas 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: Wings Over The Prairie Festival and World Championship Duck Calling Contest (November (Thanksgiving week)); Little Rock Marathon (March (first Saturday)). Hunting-season visitors fill local restaurants and events that need food service capacity.

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

Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Pocahontas
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Pocahontas 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 Pocahontas 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.
