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

New York dairy farming produced about $2.5 billion in sales (roughly 45 percent of farm sales), and the state ranks third nationally in cow milk sales. Milk and dairy products need continuous refrigeration from farm to processor.

New York ranks second nationally in apples, with over 50,000 acres of orchards and about 694 commercial growers, and is a top-ten grape producer. Fruit harvests in fall need cold storage and packing capacity.

Hornell 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 York: Corn Hill Arts Festival; Port Jefferson Dickens Festival (December). Street festivals use temporary kitchens and cold storage.

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

10 NYCRR 14-1.140 requires food service establishments to have adequate quantities of potable hot and cold water and prevents sewage from connecting directly to food-handling drains. Mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers have to provide compliant water supply and drainage.

The NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets has jurisdiction over more than 35,000 food handling establishments, including grocery stores, convenience stores and food processors. Retailers and processors using temporary cold storage may deal with Agriculture and Markets rather than the health department.

• 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 Hornell 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 York State Department of Health (with local health departments, and NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets for retail food stores and processors).
• 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 Hornell, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
