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

Chobani and NBT Bancorp are headquartered in Norwich, in Chenango County. Upstate dairy processing is a cold-chain-intensive industry.

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.

Port Jervis 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: Port Jefferson Dickens Festival (December); New York State Fair (late August to Labor Day). Village festivals and tourism add temporary food service demand.

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

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.

Under the State Sanitary Code (10 NYCRR 14-1.40), potentially hazardous food in food service establishments must be held at 45 F or below or at 140 F or above, and intact shell eggs stored at 45 F or below. Any temporary refrigeration used by a restaurant or caterer must hold these temperatures.

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