The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Yonkers are hospital systems, universities, hotels and convention venues, large grocers, food distributors and processors, and stadium and event operators.

The New York State Fair in Syracuse runs 13 days ending on Labor Day, set a record attendance of 1,329,275 in 2019 and hosts up to 250 vendors in one building. A fair of this size relies on large amounts of temporary food storage, kitchens and warewashing.

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

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