In California, calls like this often follow wildfire and earthquake. If evacuations or shutoffs close a kitchen, a mobile kitchen rental and a refrigerated container can keep feeding crews and residents.

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 Paradise (and the Butte 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 Paradise are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.

Napa Valley alone draws over 4.5 million visitors a year, and California's wine country is a major wine-tourism destination. Wineries, restaurants and tasting events often use temporary kitchens and refrigeration during harvest and tourist peaks.

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.

Paradise 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: Big Fresno Fair (October (12 days)); 2028 Summer Olympics (July 14-30, 2028). Large fair crowds in an agricultural region can raise demand for temporary food service and cold storage.

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

CDPH publishes a power-outage handout for food facilities that sets guidance by outage length and food temperature when power returns; food that sat in the danger zone is generally discarded. Operators facing an outage can use it to decide what product to keep, and may seek temporary cold storage to stay below holding limits.

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.

• 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 Paradise 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 Butte County Environmental Health.
• 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 Paradise, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
