In Louisiana, calls like this often follow tornado and heat wave. 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 Louisiana, see Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Mansfield (and the De Soto Parish 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 community like Mansfield are the town grocery, the school district kitchen, a hospital or clinic, local restaurants, small food producers, and event organizers.

As of 2018, 93 percent of U.S. crawfish farms were in Louisiana, which produces on the order of 100 million pounds of crawfish a year. Seafood harvesting, boiling and distribution depend on chilled storage and large-scale kitchens.

The Port of South Louisiana, between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest U.S. port by tonnage and handles about 60 percent of raw grain exports; imports include fruits, vegetables and coffee. Port logistics create ongoing cold chain and overflow storage demand.

Mansfield 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 Louisiana: Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival (April); New Orleans Mardi Gras (Carnival) (January 6 through Mardi Gras Day (between February 3 and March 9)). Festival crowds and produce vendors can use cold storage and temporary food service.

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

GOHSEP's earlier public site, Get A Game Plan, now redirects to gohsep.la.gov as the state's emergency preparedness portal. Businesses can use the state emergency agency for hurricane preparedness planning.

The Louisiana Department of Health's Office of Public Health monitors food and safe drinking water, among other duties including disaster readiness, and serves parishes through nine regions. Operators of temporary kitchens or mobile food units in Louisiana should confirm current permit and plan review requirements with the state health department or the parish sanitarian office.

• 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 Mansfield 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 Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health.
• 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 Mansfield, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
