In Connecticut, calls like this often follow hurricane and winter storm. For this kind of event, a refrigerated container rental holds bulk product, and a 12 ft trailer covers a small kitchen's cooler and freezer.

For official emergency information in Connecticut, see Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Hebron (and the Tolland 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 Hebron are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.

Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun, both in eastern Connecticut, are among the state's largest employers, and a 2006 state report put arts, film, history and tourism at over $14 billion in activity. Large hospitality venues run big food-service operations that can need extra cold storage and kitchen capacity during peak weekends or repairs.

Connecticut's agricultural industry produced an estimated $3.3 to $4 billion in economic output in 2022, with nursery and greenhouse at 52 percent of farm sales and dairy at 13 percent. Farm and food-processing operations depend on cold chain capacity, especially during harvest and holiday peaks.

Hebron 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 Connecticut: Hebron Harvest Fair (September); Brooklyn Fair. Fair food booths and community kitchens often need extra refrigeration and dishwashing.

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

Temporary food service events are licensed by the local health department or district, typically per booth or unit, with applications due roughly one to two weeks ahead and licenses limited to about 14 days in some towns. Temporary kitchens and food trailers for events usually need a local temporary license in addition to any zoning or fire approvals.

The Housatonic Valley Health District states that its temporary food approval covers CT DPH compliance only, and zoning, fire marshal, wetlands and building permits are separate. Placing a temporary kitchen or cold-storage unit on a site can involve several town offices beyond the health department.

• 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 Hebron 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 Connecticut Department of Public Health, Food Protection Program.
• 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 Hebron, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
