• The address in Dunellen (and the Middlesex 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 Dunellen are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Wildwood's year-round population of about 5,100 swells to as many as 250,000 in peak summer season. Shore towns with huge seasonal swings rely on temporary food storage and kitchen capacity.

Almost 10,000 New Jersey farms generated nearly $1.5 billion in cash receipts in 2022, and the state ranks in the top 10 nationally for blueberries, cranberries, tomatoes, peaches, spinach and other crops. Produce growers and packers rely on cold chain capacity at harvest.

Dunellen 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 New Jersey: Guatemalan independence festival, Trenton (around September 15); Barefoot Country Music Festival (June). Large outdoor festivals use temporary kitchens and cold storage.

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

A 2009 state Food and Drug Safety Program guidance asks retail food establishments to keep an emergency action plan describing what they would do if electrical service is interrupted. Temporary refrigeration is a typical element of such a contingency plan.

Local health departments set their own outage thresholds; for example, Rahway's health department applies its extended-outage recommendations to outages of more than two hours. The applicable time limit and approval steps depend on the municipality, so operators should check with the local 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 Dunellen 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 New Jersey Department of Health, Public Health and Food Protection Program.
• 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 Dunellen, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
