In California, calls like this often follow winter storm and wildfire. 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 California, see California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Guadalupe (and the Santa Barbara 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 Guadalupe are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Dairy was California's top commodity in the 2021-2022 CDFA report at about $7.6 billion, and the state produced about 18.1 percent of U.S. milk. Dairy and processing depend on continuous cold chain, and surge or outage situations can create demand for temporary refrigerated trailers.

Grapes brought in about $5.2 billion in cash receipts in 2021, up 16.5 percent from 2020, with almonds and pistachios also among the leading crops. Harvest and crush seasons concentrate large volumes of perishable product in a short window, which can create seasonal needs for extra cold storage.

Guadalupe 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 California: 2028 Summer Olympics (July 14-30, 2028); Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (April (two weekends)). Mass-gathering events with many venues can create demand for temporary kitchens and refrigerated storage.

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

Mobile food facilities such as trucks and trailers receive permits from the local environmental health agency and must operate with an approved commissary, mobile support unit or other approved facility. A mobile kitchen unit generally needs local permitting and an approved base before it can serve the public.

Local agencies review plans and inspect mobile food units before they open, and a food facility may not open without a valid permit under Health and Safety Code section 114381. Plan check and pre-opening inspection timelines can affect how quickly a temporary kitchen can be put into service.

• 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 Guadalupe 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 Santa Barbara County Environmental Health Services.
• 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 Guadalupe, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
