Hilo Harbor is the largest harbor on Hawaii Island, and Waipahu is home to Clover Leaf Dairy, described as the only commercial dairy in the state. Ports and the state's only commercial dairy rely on cold storage and cold-chain distribution.

Commonly cited estimates put Hawaii's food imports at 85 to 90 percent, though a state report notes that a definitive figure has not been derived. A state that relies on shipped food depends heavily on cold storage at ports and distribution points.

Nanawale Estates 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 Hawaii: Honolulu Marathon (December); Ironman World Championship (October). Large race weekends often need temporary kitchens, hydration and food storage at venues.

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

DOH's March 2026 flood guidance says refrigerated food is safe for less than four hours without power, frozen food lasts up to 24 hours in a half-full freezer or 48 hours in a full one, and food touched by floodwater should be discarded. These limits show why quickly restoring cold storage after an outage matters.

The Department of Health Food Safety Branch handles food establishment permits and special event food establishment permits. Anyone operating a temporary or mobile kitchen should contact the Food Safety Branch about permits.

• 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 Nanawale Estates 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 Hawaii Department of Health, Food Safety Branch.
• 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.
