For official emergency information in Florida, see Florida Division of Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Jacksonville (and the Duval 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 Jacksonville are health systems, school districts and campuses, hotel and banquet kitchens, grocery chains, cold-storage and distribution operators, and large events.

Florida is the nation's largest sugarcane producer, mostly grown around Lake Okeechobee, and also grows citrus (about 17% of the U.S. citrus crop in 2024). Citrus and sugar processing seasons can call for temporary chilled storage and worker food service at peak times.

PortMiami is described as the world's busiest cruise port, and the Miami area drew over four million visitors in 2022. Cruise provisioning and large visitor volumes depend on cold chain storage and high-volume food service.

Jacksonville 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 Florida: Florida Strawberry Festival (Late February to early March (Feb. 26 - Mar. 8 in 2026)); Florida State Fair (February). Large food-focused festivals can use temporary kitchens, refrigerated storage and dishwashing for vendors and operators.

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

DBPR's Division of Hotels and Restaurants publishes Emergency Recovery Guidelines urging licensed food service operators to take special measures during power or water outages and other emergencies. Restaurants that lose power can check state guidance on holding temperatures and reopening before using temporary refrigeration.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Division of Food Safety issues storm-season alerts to food permit holders and shares pre- and post-storm materials such as a Damaged Food Guide. Grocers and food processors regulated by FDACS can use its guidance when deciding what to keep or discard after an outage.

• 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 Jacksonville 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 Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants (with FDACS Division of Food Safety for retail food stores).
• 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 Jacksonville, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
