How we plan getting a trailer to Orlando

Every rental in Orlando starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Orlando, FL moves from call to cold storage:

  1. Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Orlando, what failed or what you are planning, and the temperature you need. Emergencies go to (888) 385-5513.
  2. 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.
  3. Roads that serve Orlando include I-4, SR 417, and US-441. 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.
  4. Orlando is roughly 135 straight-line miles south of Jacksonville, Florida'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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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 Orlando

When cold storage fails in Orlando, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:

In Florida, calls like this often follow hurricane and hurricane. 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 Florida, see Florida Division of Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

  • The address in Orlando (and the Orange 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 Orlando

Summers are hot and humid statewide, with typical highs from about 90F in the Keys to about 95F in the north and heat indexes of 103-110F. A rainy season brings daily thunderstorms from roughly May through October. Winters are the mildest in the continental U.S., though central and north Florida see occasional freezes. Restaurants, grocers, food distributors, and healthcare kitchens in the region often rent a trailer when a compressor fails in the heat.

Orlando is the county seat of Orange County, and tourism, led by Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, is the centerpiece of its economy. Theme parks and hotels run high-volume food service that can need surge refrigeration and temporary kitchens.

The Orange County Convention Center is the second-largest convention facility in the U.S. Large conventions and trade shows can need temporary catering kitchens and cold storage.

The University of Central Florida had 69,320 students in fall 2023, and Lake Nona Medical City hosts a teaching hospital and Nemours Children's Hospital. Campus dining and hospital food service can need temporary kitchens or refrigeration during outages or construction.

Hurricane risk in Florida (June to November (peak August to October)): Tropical cyclones have affected Florida in every month except January and March, and nearly three-fourths of them arrive between August and October. Monroe County has been struck by 26 hurricanes since 1926, the most of any U.S. county. Hurricanes can knock out grocery, restaurant and hospital refrigeration for days and often create a need for emergency cold storage and temporary kitchens.

Hurricane risk in Florida (September to October): Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida on September 28, 2022 with a 10-15 ft storm surge and about $109.5 billion in Florida damage. Hurricane Milton came ashore near Siesta Key on October 9-10, 2024 as a Category 3 storm. Surge flooding and prolonged outages can spoil refrigerated inventory and shut commercial kitchens, which can lead operators to seek temporary refrigeration and warewashing.

More than 2.4 million people in Florida lost power during and after Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Outages of this scale can leave restaurants, stores and care facilities without refrigeration for extended periods.

Food service and business in Orlando

The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Orlando are health systems, school districts and campuses, hotel and banquet kitchens, grocery chains, cold-storage and distribution operators, and large events.

Orlando's tourism economy includes Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and the Orange County Convention Center, the second-largest convention facility in the U.S. Large conventions and theme park operations can use temporary kitchens, refrigeration and dishwashing for events and surge periods.

Florida grows more fresh-market tomatoes than any other state, and its 2024 strawberry crop was valued at about $540 million, second only to California. Perishable produce harvests typically need rapid cooling and cold storage before shipment.

Orlando 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 State Fair (February); Daytona 500 (February). Fair food vendors and concessions often need extra refrigeration and cleanup capacity.

Equipment you can rent in Orlando

Refrigeration is our focus, and Orlando customers rent the same four units as the rest of Florida:

If the kitchen itself is down, add a mobile kitchen and a dishwashing trailer so Orlando operators can keep serving while cold storage is covered.

12 ft Refrigerated Trailer

Starting from $1,895 / month

The smallest trailer in the lineup. It fits tight lots and loading areas when a small walk-in cooler or freezer goes down.

View details

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.

View details

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 Orlando

Renting a refrigerated trailer in Orlando 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 Orlando 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.

How do I get a trailer if Orlando is far from a major city?

Who do I contact about food safety rules in Orange County?

Start with Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants (with FDACS Division of Food Safety for retail food stores) (https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/hotels-restaurants/). Rules vary by jurisdiction, so check with them before you place temporary refrigeration or a temporary kitchen.

Can I rent a mobile kitchen or dishwashing trailer in Orlando too?

Yes. When a kitchen is down, we rent mobile kitchens from 24 ft to 40 ft and dishwashing trailers from 22 ft to 38 ft. Many Orlando customers pair them with a refrigerated trailer so they can cook, serve, and clean up while permanent equipment is repaired.

What should I do before hurricane season in Florida?

Know your site's power and placement details, keep our number ((888) 385-5513) handy, and call early if a forecast puts your walk-in at risk. Hurricane risk in Florida is highest June to November (peak August to October).
