Poultry leads Kentucky farm receipts at about 22 percent, followed by horses and cattle at 16 percent each, then soybeans and corn. Poultry and livestock processing depend on refrigerated storage, which can be needed temporarily during outages or seasonal peaks.

UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport covers about 5.2 million square feet and is among the world's busiest cargo hubs. Large parcel and air-freight volume moves perishables through the state and can create temporary holding needs.

Mount Sterling 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 Kentucky: Kentucky Derby and Derby Festival (Late April to early May); Kentucky State Fair (August). Derby-week hospitality creates large catering demand that can use temporary kitchens, cold storage and warewashing.

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

Louisville Metro runs its own food facility plan review, and plan review approval is required before plumbing, food service or building permits are issued. Temporary structures or fixed-site kitchen setups in Louisville may trigger plan review.

Kentucky food service permit fees and operating standards are set in 902 KAR 45:110 and 902 KAR 45:005, administered by the Department for Public Health. These regulations set the standards a temporary food establishment is inspected against.

• 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 Mount Sterling 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 Kentucky Department for Public Health, Food Safety Branch (Cabinet for Health and Family 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.
