In Missouri, calls like this often follow heat wave and earthquake. Heat is hardest on older walk-ins, so a short refrigeration trailer rental is a common way to protect product through a repair.

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 Warrenton (and the Warren 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).
• 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 Warrenton are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.

Gilster-Mary Lee, a food manufacturer, is one of the two largest employers in Perryville. Food manufacturers depend on cold chain and storage capacity during outages or peaks.

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.

Warrenton 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: American Royal (September to November); Missouri State Fair (August). Barbecue and livestock events need large-scale cold storage and food prep.

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

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.

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.

• 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 Warrenton 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.
