In New York, calls like this often follow flood and winter storm. When an outage runs long, a 20 ft refrigerated trailer rental gives a kitchen, grocer, or care facility cold space to move product into while the building recovers.

• The address in Ilion (and the Herkimer 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 Ilion are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.

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.

Ilion 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 Ilion is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.

The State Sanitary Code treats caterers that prepare food for service at a consumer's premises, temporary or permanent, as food service establishment operators subject to Subpart 14-1. Event caterers using a temporary kitchen are covered by the same rules as restaurants.

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.

• 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 Ilion 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 Ilion, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
