How we plan getting a trailer to Oakdale
Every rental in Oakdale starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Oakdale, LA moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Oakdale, 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.
- Oakdale is reached by county and state roads, and Louisiana's main corridors include I-10, I-12, and I-20. Tell us the street address and we confirm the approach, the final turn, and the room the truck needs.
- Oakdale is roughly 170 straight-line miles west of New Orleans, Louisiana'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.
- 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 Oakdale
When cold storage fails in Oakdale, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:
In Louisiana, calls like this often follow hurricane and flood. 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 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 Oakdale (and the Allen 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.
What drives cold-storage demand around Oakdale
Louisiana has long, hot, humid summers: from June through September southern areas average 90F or more with overnight lows above 70F, and the heat index can exceed 120F. Winters are short and mild, with average lows around 46F near the Gulf and 37F in the north, and snow is rare. Rain is frequent year-round, and the state is very vulnerable to major hurricanes. Restaurants, grocers, food distributors, and healthcare kitchens in the region often rent a trailer when a compressor fails in the heat.
Oakdale is home to the Oakdale Federal Correctional Complex and a $200 million oriented-strand-board plant opened by Martco in 2009. Institutional and plant kitchens need dependable refrigeration and warewashing.
Hurricane risk in Louisiana (June to November (peak August to October)): Hurricane Ida struck near Port Fourchon on August 29, 2021 with 150 mph winds, and Hurricane Laura hit Cameron on August 27, 2020 as a Category 4 storm with a surge of at least 9.19 ft. Major hurricanes can cut power for days to weeks, which often creates a need for emergency cold storage, temporary kitchens and warewashing.
Flood risk in Louisiana (Year-round; heavy rain in spring and summer): Hurricane Katrina's levee failures flooded about 80 percent of New Orleans in 2005, and an August 2016 storm damaged an estimated 110,000 homes in southern Louisiana. Flooded kitchens and stores can lead to urgent replacement of refrigeration and food service capacity.
Almost 900,000 people in Louisiana lost power during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Statewide outages from storms have repeatedly stressed food storage across the state.
Food service and business in Oakdale
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Oakdale are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.
Tourism and gaming are important to Louisiana's economy, especially in Greater New Orleans, and Lake Charles has the state's biggest casino market. Hotels, casinos and restaurants run high-volume kitchens that need dependable refrigeration and warewashing.
Processed foods are a significant part of Louisiana's gross state product, and Tabasco sauce originated on Avery Island. Food manufacturers rely on controlled-temperature storage.
Oakdale 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: New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April and May, over two weekends); Louisiana Pirate Festival (formerly Contraband Days) (May). Festival food vendors and catering often need extra refrigerated storage and cleanup capacity.

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

Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Oakdale
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Oakdale is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
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.
The FDA Food Code is a model that state and local regulators use as a template for their own rules covering restaurants, grocery stores and institutions. Temporary refrigeration and kitchens used in Louisiana will typically be judged against state rules derived from this model.
- 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 Oakdale 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.
