How we plan getting a trailer to Ely
Every rental in Ely starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Ely, NV moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Ely, 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 Ely include US-50. 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.
- Ely is roughly 211 straight-line miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada'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 Ely (and the White Pine 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).

What drives cold-storage demand around Ely
Nevada is the driest U.S. state, with mostly desert and semi-arid climate and about 7 inches of rain a year on average. Summers are intensely hot in the south, with Las Vegas July highs near 106 F, and warm in Reno (about 92 F), with summer thunderstorms when monsoon moisture arrives. Northern Nevada and the Great Basin have long, fairly cold winters with Pacific storms bringing snow. The hottest stretch runs june to September, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Ely.
Ely is the White Pine County seat; copper mining began in 1906, and a KGHM-owned copper mine employs about 510 people nearby. Mining crews can need temporary field kitchens and cold storage.
Tourism centers on the Nevada Northern Railway Museum's steam Ghost Train and the historic Hotel Nevada, and the Silver State Classic Challenge race runs on SR 318. Tourism and race events can use temporary kitchens and refrigeration.
Ely has extreme day-night temperature swings, frost in every month and record lows near -30 F. Cold extremes affect winter operations.
Wildfire risk in Nevada (July to October): The Davis Fire burned 5,824 acres in Washoe Valley south of Reno in September 2024, prompting evacuations of roughly 20,000 people; wildfire threatens about four in five homes in the Reno area. Evacuations and utility disruptions can leave food businesses without power or staff and can create demand for temporary cold storage and field kitchens for responders.
Earthquake risk in Nevada (Year-round): A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck about 12 miles from Wells on February 21, 2008, causing significant damage in town, and a 2008 swarm near Reno reached magnitude 4.9. Earthquake damage can disrupt power and building systems, which can leave food businesses needing temporary cold storage.
NV Energy provides electric service to about 1.3 million customers in northern and southern Nevada, including the Las Vegas Valley. A utility outage in a large service area can leave many food businesses without refrigeration at once.
Food service and business in Ely
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a community like Ely are grocers, school and care-home kitchens, restaurants, lodges and motels, farm and ranch operations, and the groups that run fairs, rodeos, and festivals.
North Las Vegas has warehouse distribution centers, including an 850,000-square-foot Amazon fulfillment center and a 715,000-square-foot Sephora distribution center that opened in 2019. Logistics growth in the Las Vegas Valley can create overflow cold-storage and workforce-food needs.
Yerington is nicknamed the Onion Capital of the West, and Winnemucca area farming includes potatoes. Onion and potato harvests can need seasonal cold storage.
Ely 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 Nevada: Great Reno Balloon Race (September); Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off (Late summer). Large outdoor crowds can need temporary food service and cold storage.
Equipment you can rent in Ely
Refrigeration is our focus, and Ely customers rent the same four units as the rest of Nevada:
Many Ely requests pair cold storage with a mobile kitchen rental or a dishwashing trailer rental, so a facility can cook, serve, and clean up during a repair or renovation.
20 ft Refrigerated Trailer
Starting from $1,895 / month
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.
20 ft Refrigerated Container
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 Ely
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Ely is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
Washoe County's food program pages redirect to Northern Nevada Public Health's Environmental Health Services food division, which handles food permits in the Reno-Sparks area. Customers in Reno and Sparks need to work with Northern Nevada Public Health on permits for temporary or mobile food service.
Federal CDC guidance says a closed refrigerator keeps food safe about 4 hours without power and a full freezer about 48 hours, and that perishable food above 40 F should be discarded. These time limits are why food businesses often look for backup refrigeration quickly during an extended outage.
- 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 Ely 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 Southern Nevada Health District (Clark County); Northern Nevada Public Health (Washoe County).
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
