How we plan getting a trailer to Craig
Every rental in Craig starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Craig, CO moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Craig, 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 Craig include US-40 and SH-13. 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.
- Craig is roughly 151 straight-line miles west of Denver, Colorado'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 Craig
Emergency support for Craig runs through one number, (888) 385-5513, answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have these details ready:
In Colorado, calls like this often follow drought and wildfire. Heat is hardest on older walk-ins, so a short refrigeration trailer rental is a common way to protect product through a repair.
For official emergency information in Colorado, see Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.
- The address in Craig (and the Moffat 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 Craig
The Front Range averages roughly 55F mornings and 90F afternoons in July and 18F mornings and 48F afternoons in January, with Chinook winds that can briefly warm winter days. Eastern Plains summers often top 95F, while mountain areas get heavy winter snow. Hail is the most commonly reported warm-season severe weather hazard east of the Divide. The hottest stretch runs june to August, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Craig.
Craig is the seat of Moffat County; in the 1970s and early 1980s, the largest power generation plant in Colorado and several coal mines were built near the town. Industrial plants and outage or maintenance crews can need temporary kitchens and cold storage.
Craig's chamber of commerce calls it the Elk Hunting Capital of the World. Hunting season brings visitors and game processing that can need cold storage.
Craig winters are cold and snowy: lows reach 0F or below on about 22 mornings, highs stay below freezing on 54 afternoons, and snowfall averages 76.2 inches. Winter storms can interrupt power and deliveries.
Drought risk in Colorado (year-round; peaks in summer): Drought is common on the Eastern Plains and a main agricultural risk; drought and low precipitation also make wildfires more severe. Drought-fueled fire risk can lead to evacuations, closures and power disruptions that affect food storage.
Wildfire risk in Colorado (June to October; also winter wind events): The 2020 Pine Gulch, Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires were the three largest in state history, and the December 2021 Marshall Fire destroyed an estimated 1,084 structures and forced about 37,500 people to evacuate. Fires, evacuations and smoke can close restaurants and cut power, which can create demand for emergency cold storage and temporary kitchens.
The December 2021 Marshall Fire, driven by gusts up to 115 mph, was attributed to two causes including a sparking Xcel Energy power line; Xcel faced nearly 300 lawsuits as of early 2024. Wind-driven wildfire events show how storms and grid failures can combine to disrupt Front Range businesses.
Food service and business in Craig
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Craig are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.
The San Luis Valley grows potatoes and barley, and its barley is described as the main supplier for Coors beer. Harvest-season storage and shipping of potatoes and barley can create seasonal cold-storage demand.
Rocky Ford in the Arkansas Valley is noted for watermelon, cantaloupe and agriculture. Summer melon harvest and packing can need refrigerated trailers.
Craig 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 Colorado: Winter X Games Aspen (winter); Sundance Film Festival in Boulder (January starting 2027). Winter event crowds in a single-road mountain town can strain food service and cold storage.
Equipment you can rent in Craig
Refrigeration is our focus, and Craig customers rent the same four units as the rest of Colorado:
Many Craig requests pair cold storage with a mobile kitchen rental or a dishwashing trailer rental, so a facility can cook, serve, and clean up during a repair or renovation.
20 ft Refrigerated Trailer
Starting from $1,895 / month
The workhorse. A 20 ft trailer comes as a 32°F cooler or as a low-temperature freezer configuration, so you can match what failed.
20 ft Refrigerated Container
Starting from $2,995 / month
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
The largest cold storage option. It takes pallets and bulk product for food distribution, disaster response, and large facilities.
Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Craig
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Craig is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
CDC guidance says a closed refrigerator keeps food safe for up to 4 hours without power and a full freezer for about 48 hours; after that, perishables such as meat, fish, eggs and milk should be discarded. The 4-hour window is why operators often need replacement refrigeration quickly after a power loss; confirm Colorado retail food rules with the local public health agency.
- 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 Craig 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 Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
