How we plan getting a trailer to Auburn
Every rental in Auburn starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Auburn, GA moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Auburn, 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.
- Auburn is reached by county and state roads, and Georgia's main corridors include I-75, I-16, and I-20. Tell us the street address and we confirm the approach, the final turn, and the room the truck needs.
- Auburn is about 38 miles northeast of Atlanta, Georgia's largest city on our list. We plan the trip around that distance and the roads between, then confirm timing 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 Auburn
Emergency support for Auburn runs through one number, (888) 385-5513, answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have these details ready:
In Georgia, calls like this often follow tornado and hurricane. 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 Georgia, see Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.
- The address in Auburn (and the Barrow 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 Auburn
Summers are hot and humid, with afternoon highs near 90 F and often above 95 F, overnight lows near 68 F, and a state record of 112 F. Winters are mild; snow is rare in the south, and the main winter threat in the northern Piedmont is freezing rain. North Georgia mountains run about 8 F cooler than Atlanta. The hottest stretch runs june to September, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Auburn.
Auburn is 42 miles northeast of Atlanta and 27 miles west of Athens, and its population grew from 7,495 in 2020 to an estimated 10,110 in 2025. Rapid growth in a metro-edge city adds restaurants and institutional food service.
Tornado risk in Georgia (any month; Adel was struck in January 2017 and again in 2020 and 2023): Georgia is among the leading states for tornado incidents. A low-end EF3 on January 22, 2017 killed 14 people in Adel, and an EF2 caused major damage there on January 22, 2023. Tornado damage to buildings and power lines can take kitchens and coolers out of use and often creates a short-term need for temporary equipment.
Hurricane risk in Georgia (June to November, peak late summer): Direct hurricane strikes are uncommon, but Tropical Storm Alberto (1994) dropped over 20 inches of rain in 24 hours in central Georgia, and Savannah has seen Matthew (2016), Irma (2017), and Debby and Helene (2024). Storm flooding and widespread power loss can spoil refrigerated stock and often create demand for emergency cold storage, kitchens and warewashing.
More than 1 million Georgia customers lost power at the peak of Hurricane Helene in September 2024. Outages of this size, reaching deep into inland Georgia, can leave grocers, restaurants and food plants without refrigeration for days.
Food service and business in Auburn
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Auburn are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.
The Port of Savannah handled 4.9 million TEU in 2023 and is North America's fourth-largest container port. High container volume supports a large local logistics and food distribution sector.
Broilers are Georgia's top farm-gate commodity, valued at about $6.1 billion or 36.1% of total farm-gate value in a UGA report. Poultry growing and processing depends on refrigeration and can need temporary capacity during outages or peaks.
Auburn 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 Georgia: Georgia National Fair (early October); International Cherry Blossom Festival (mid-March). A fair of that size relies on concession vendors that often need extra refrigeration and cooking capacity.
Equipment you can rent in Auburn
Refrigeration is our focus, and Auburn customers rent the same four units as the rest of Georgia:
Many Auburn 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 Auburn
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Auburn is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture's food safety and natural disasters brochure advises contacting the Department of Public Health after a power outage or flooding and discarding food when in doubt. After a long outage or flood, businesses may need compliant temporary refrigeration to restock, and should confirm requirements with the health department.
Georgia's food service rules are in Chapter 511-6-1, with the Department of Public Health copy marked as revised in February 2025. Anyone setting up a temporary kitchen or warewashing station should check the current chapter number, since older documents cite the superseded Chapter 290-5-14.
- 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 Auburn 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 Georgia Department of Public Health, Environmental Health (Food Service).
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
