In Delaware, calls like this often follow winter storm and flood. 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 Delaware, see Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

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

Kraft Foods (Jell-O) and Procter & Gamble (Pampers wipes) have plants in Dover, and Dover Air Force Base is a major employer. Food manufacturing and large institutional employers depend on temperature-controlled storage.

Perdue Farms has a large processing plant in Georgetown and Mountaire Farms has a poultry plant in Selbyville. Poultry plants and their suppliers generate steady demand for refrigerated capacity.

New Castle 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 Delaware: Delaware State Fair (Late July); Olde Tyme Peach Festival (August). A ten-day fair with large crowds drives demand for temporary kitchens and cold storage.

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

Delaware's Office of Food Protection requires plans and fees to be submitted before a food establishment opens, including mobile, temporary, stationary or permanent operations. A mobile kitchen or dishwashing trailer used as part of a food operation may be subject to plan review.

Delaware's food regulation adopts the U.S. Public Health Service 2017 Food Code, which defines the temporary food establishment permit. Food Code temperature and warewashing rules apply to temporary kitchens and cold storage.

• 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 New Castle 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 Delaware Division of Public Health, Office of Food Protection / Environmental Health Field 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 New Castle, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
