How we plan getting a trailer to Wildwood

Every rental in Wildwood starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Wildwood, NJ moves from call to cold storage:

  1. Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Wildwood, what failed or what you are planning, and the temperature you need. Emergencies go to (888) 385-5513.
  2. 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.
  3. Roads that serve Wildwood include NJ-47. 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.
  4. Wildwood is roughly 125 straight-line miles south of Newark, New Jersey'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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Emergency refrigeration support in Wildwood

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

In New Jersey, calls like this often follow tornado and hurricane. For this kind of event, a refrigerated container rental holds bulk product, and a 12 ft trailer covers a small kitchen's cooler and freezer.

For official emergency information in New Jersey, see New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

  • The address in Wildwood (and the Cape May 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.

What drives cold-storage demand around Wildwood

New Jersey summers are warm and muggy, with average July highs near 86 F in Newark and Trenton and July dew points in the low to mid 60s. Winters are cold, with January highs around 40 F inland and 43 F at Atlantic City, and snowfall ranging from about 17 inches on the coast to far more in the northwest highlands. Hospitals, universities, grocers, and restaurants here often need a trailer that fits a narrow service lane or a shared loading dock.

Wildwood is a summer resort whose population of about 5,100 can swell to roughly 250,000 in peak season, with a 1.8-mile boardwalk including Morey's Piers. Extreme seasonal swings strain restaurant kitchens and cold storage.

Annual events include Senior Week and the Barefoot Country Music Festival in June and the NJ Firefighter's Convention in September. Large events need temporary kitchens, refrigeration and warewashing.

Hurricane Sandy in 2012 destroyed much of the Wildwood boardwalk, which has since been restored. Hurricane exposure is a recurring planning concern for shore businesses.

Tornado risk in New Jersey (May to August): Most areas see 25 to 30 thunderstorms a year, and about five tornadoes are reported statewide annually, usually weak. Severe thunderstorms are a common cause of short local power outages.

Hurricane risk in New Jersey (August to October): Hurricane Sandy (October 2012) produced an 8.57 ft surge at Sandy Hook, destroyed boardwalk sections at Belmar and Seaside Heights, and caused about $30 billion in losses, the costliest natural disaster in state history. Coastal surge and long outages can leave restaurants, hotels and grocers needing temporary cold storage or a temporary kitchen.

During Sandy, half of Jersey City lost power and Atlantic City casinos closed for six days, with November casino revenue falling 28 percent. Large hospitality operations with big kitchens and cold rooms are hit hard by extended outages.

Food service and business in Wildwood

The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Wildwood are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

New Jersey is described as an epicenter for logistics and distribution on the Atlantic seaboard, and the Garden State Parkway opened the Jersey Shore to millions of New York-area visitors. Distribution and shore hospitality both generate steady demand for refrigerated storage and event kitchens.

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.

Wildwood 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: Senior Week (June); New Jersey Firefighter's Convention (September). Peak crowds strain shore restaurants and favor temporary food capacity.

Equipment you can rent in Wildwood

Refrigeration is our focus, and Wildwood customers rent the same four units as the rest of New Jersey:

Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Wildwood

Renting a refrigerated trailer in Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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.
