In Missouri, calls like this often follow heat wave and earthquake. 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 Missouri, see Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Park Hills (and the St. Francois 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 Park Hills are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Missouri is a major beer-brewing center and home to Anheuser-Busch, with a wine industry along the Missouri River dating to 19th-century German immigrants. Breweries and wineries rely on temperature-controlled storage.

Kansas City became a major meatpacking center after Texas cattle drives and the refrigerated boxcar, and the USDA announced in 2018 it would relocate research agencies there. A long history in meat and agriculture means substantial cold chain infrastructure and demand.

Park Hills 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 Missouri: Roots N Blues Festival and True/False Film Festival; American Royal (September to November). Multi-day festivals need temporary food service.

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

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is the state agency responsible for public health programs, including regulating and licensing health and child care facilities. Anyone setting up a temporary kitchen or cold storage for food service should confirm permit requirements with the state or local public health agency.

FDA guidance in the archived federal power-outage page says refrigerated food should be safe if power was out no more than 4 hours and the door was kept shut; this is federal, not Missouri-specific, guidance. Outages longer than that can force food businesses to discard stock or move it to temporary refrigeration.

• 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 Park Hills 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 Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS).
• 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.
