How we plan getting a trailer to Litchfield
Every rental in Litchfield starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Litchfield, MN moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Litchfield, 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 Litchfield include US 12. 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.
- Litchfield is roughly 62 straight-line miles west of Minneapolis, Minnesota'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.

- The address in Litchfield (and the Meeker County location if it is outside town limits).

- How much product is at risk, and whether it must stay at 32°F (cooler) or near -5°F (freezer).

- Keep doors closed until the unit arrives so the product holds its temperature as long as possible.
What drives cold-storage demand around Litchfield
Minnesota has warm, humid summers (July highs average from the upper 70s in the north to the mid 80s in the south) and long, very cold winters (January highs in the teens to low 20s). The state record low is -60 F at Tower in 1996 and the record high is 114 F at Moorhead in 1936. Processors, distributors, school districts, and hospital systems commonly need added cold storage during repairs and seasonal peaks.
Litchfield is the Meeker County seat and agriculture and related industries have historically formed a large part of its economy. Farm and ag-processing activity often depends on cold storage.
Litchfield has recorded a low of -37 F. Deep cold can often disrupt power and deliveries.
Flood risk in Minnesota (Spring snowmelt and summer): The 1997 Red River flood forced a mandatory evacuation of all of East Grand Forks, and in June 2012 Duluth had its worst flood on record after about nine inches of rain in 30 hours. Flooded kitchens and cold rooms can often put food businesses out of service and create a need for temporary cold storage or a temporary kitchen.
Winter storm risk in Minnesota (November to March): International Falls averages 73 inches of snow a year and has recorded -55 F, and the state record low is -60 F at Tower on February 2, 1996. Extreme cold and heavy snow can often disrupt power and deliveries, and can prompt food businesses to seek backup cold storage.
Overnight storms on June 10, 2026 left over 54,000 Xcel Energy customers without power across Minnesota, according to the utility's outage data. Large storm outages can often interrupt refrigeration for many food businesses at once.
Food service and business in Litchfield
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Litchfield are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.
Minnesota ranks first nationally in turkeys raised and sugar beets, and second in hogs, according to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's state profile. Meat, poultry and sugar processing depend on cold storage and refrigerated transport, so temporary capacity can help at harvest or processing peaks.
Minnesota's food processing sector has nearly 1,000 establishments and about 54,700 employees, ranking 12th nationally, with most plants in Greater Minnesota. Food plants often need added refrigerated storage during production surges or equipment repairs.
Litchfield 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 Minnesota: Saint Paul Winter Carnival (January); Grandma's Marathon (June). Winter festivals often need temporary kitchens and cold storage for outdoor food service.
Equipment you can rent in Litchfield

If the kitchen itself is down, add a mobile kitchen and a dishwashing trailer so Litchfield operators can keep serving while cold storage is covered.
20 ft Refrigerated Trailer

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.

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 Litchfield
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Litchfield is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
The Minnesota Department of Health publishes food safety guidance for food establishments during power outages lasting more than two hours, and advises calling MDH or the local health department. Temporary refrigeration can often help food businesses protect inventory, and operators should check with the health authority on food disposition.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture's outage checklist treats TCS food held between 41 F and 135 F for more than four hours as a problem and says facilities should monitor and record temperatures during an outage. Operators using temporary cold storage should keep temperature logs to support food safety decisions.
- 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 Litchfield 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 Minnesota Department of Health (food, beverage and lodging program); Minnesota Department of Agriculture for many food stands.
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
