In Mississippi, calls like this often follow heat wave and other. When summer heat pushes a compressor past its limit, a 12 ft refrigerated trailer or 20 ft refrigerated trailer can take over cold storage while the walk-in is repaired.

For official emergency information in Mississippi, see Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Southaven (and the DeSoto County 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 Southaven are health systems, school districts and campuses, hotel and banquet kitchens, grocery chains, cold-storage and distribution operators, and large events.

Forest, Mississippi has poultry processors including Koch Foods, Tyson Foods and Forest Packing Company. Poultry processing creates large, steady cold storage needs and sees spikes when plants have outages.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast became the second-largest U.S. gaming area by gaming space after casinos were legalized in the early 1990s, and Tunica is the third-largest. Casino resorts run very large kitchens and buffets that need heavy refrigeration and warewashing capacity.

Southaven 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 Mississippi: Gulfport events: World's Largest Fishing Rodeo, Cruisin' the Coast and Smokin' the Sound; Prairie Arts Festival (West Point) (Labor Day weekend (early September)). Large coastal events concentrate food service demand into short windows.

Renting a refrigerated trailer in Southaven 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 Mississippi will typically be judged against state rules derived from this model.

The Mississippi State Department of Health is the primary state health agency, headquartered in Jackson; businesses should confirm current food permit, temporary event and mobile unit requirements with it directly. Anyone setting up a temporary kitchen or mobile food unit in Mississippi should check with the state health department and the local county office first.

• 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 Southaven 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 Mississippi State Department of 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 Southaven, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
