Numbers for Las Vegas that matter when planning a rental: how big it is, how spread out it is, and how far the next larger place sits.

When cold storage fails in Las Vegas, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:

In Nevada, calls like this often follow wildfire and earthquake. Planned and emergency power shutoffs can leave stores and kitchens without refrigeration, and a refrigerated trailer with its own cooling system gives them somewhere cold to put product.

For official emergency information in Nevada, see Nevada Office of Emergency Management / Homeland Security. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

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

Tourism remains Nevada's largest employer, and legalized gambling helped make it a major destination. Hospitality-dependent food service concentrates demand for temporary kitchens and warewashing.

Henderson hosts a Kroger distribution center, and the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, the largest industrial park in the U.S., hosts Walmart distribution among over a hundred companies. Distribution hubs can need overflow refrigerated storage.

Las Vegas 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: Hot August Nights (August); Great Reno Balloon Race (September). Festival food vendors can use temporary refrigeration, kitchens and dishwashing.

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

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.

The Southern Nevada Health District lists Special Events, Mobile Vendor Application Process and Plan Review pages under Permits and Regulations, and also runs a restaurant inspection search and a food handler safety program. Temporary kitchens, mobile units and new setups in Clark County fall under the health district's permit, plan review and inspection processes.

• 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 Las Vegas 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.

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 Las Vegas, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
