How we plan getting a trailer to Shreveport
Every rental in Shreveport starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Shreveport, LA moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Shreveport, 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.
- Roads that serve Shreveport include I-20 and I-49. We confirm which approach suits a trailer, how the truck turns onto your site, and whether anything on the last few blocks is posted or restricted.
- Shreveport is roughly 282 straight-line miles northwest 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 Shreveport
Emergency support for Shreveport runs through one number, (888) 385-5513, answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have these details ready:
In Louisiana, calls like this often follow tornado and heat wave. 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 Shreveport (and the Bossier 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 Shreveport
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. The hottest stretch runs june to September, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Shreveport.
Shreveport is the Caddo Parish seat, and its employers include Amazon, Regions Financial, JPMorgan Chase and casinos. Large employers and casinos run cafeterias and kitchens with heavy refrigeration and dishwashing needs.
Shreveport has major hospitals including Christus Schumpert Medical Center and Willis-Knighton, plus Centenary College and LSU Shreveport. Hospital and campus food services need continuous refrigeration.
Shreveport sees severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in spring and summer and ice and sleet storms in winter. Storm and ice damage to power lines can interrupt food storage.
Tornado risk in Louisiana (January to March in the south, February to March in the north): Louisiana averages about 27 tornadoes per year and over 60 thunderstorm days annually, more than any state except Florida. Storm damage can interrupt power and refrigeration for food businesses.
Heat wave risk in Louisiana (June to September): Southern Louisiana summer highs average 90F or more with heat index values that can exceed 120F; the state record is 114F at Plain Dealing. Extreme heat can overload refrigeration and raise demand for extra cold storage and cooling at events.
About one million people in Louisiana lost power after Hurricane Ida in 2021, and roughly a week later over a million people in southeast Louisiana were reported still without power. Week-long outages exceed safe holding times and often drive demand for temporary refrigerated storage.
Food service and business in Shreveport
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Shreveport are hospital systems, universities, hotels and convention venues, large grocers, food distributors and processors, and stadium and event operators.
Sugarcane production is concentrated in the Mississippi River Delta region and has expanded north and west in Louisiana. Harvest and milling seasons bring worker food service and seasonal storage needs.
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.
Shreveport 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: Louisiana Pirate Festival (formerly Contraband Days) (May); Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival (April). Multi-day festivals can use temporary kitchens, cold storage and dishwashing.
Equipment you can rent in Shreveport
Refrigeration is our focus, and Shreveport customers rent the same four units as the rest of Louisiana:
Many Shreveport 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 Shreveport

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.

- 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.
