In Louisiana, calls like this often follow ice storm and hurricane. 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 Tallulah (and the Madison 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 city like Tallulah are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

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.

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.

Tallulah 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.

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

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.

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.

• 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 Tallulah 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 Tallulah, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
