In Ohio, calls like this often follow tornado 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.

For official emergency information in Ohio, see Ohio Emergency Management Agency. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Jackson (and the Jackson 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 Jackson are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Agriculture-related industries account for about $124 billion of Ohio's economic output, and the state counted 75,462 farms in 2018. A large farm and food economy means many growers, packers and processors that can need seasonal or emergency cold storage.

Ohio ranks 3rd in egg production, 1st in Swiss cheese and 3rd in tomatoes, and Fremont has the world's largest ketchup processing plant. Eggs, cheese and produce are temperature-sensitive, so equipment failures can create demand for temporary refrigerated trailers.

Jackson 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 Ohio: All-American Soap Box Derby / National Hamburger Festival (Akron) (Summer (Hamburger Festival mid-July)); Ohio State Fair (Late July to early August). Food festivals can often rely on rented cold storage and mobile kitchens.

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

ODH amended OAC 3701-21 in 2024 to add a definition of "mobile catering food service operation" and set risk levels for mobile operations. Rule changes mean operators can need to confirm which mobile or temporary category applies to a rented kitchen.

An ODH fact sheet on power outages in food service operations says to weigh the outage duration, the impact on refrigeration equipment and the availability of alternative procedures, and gives guidance on which foods to discard. Outage guidance can point operators toward temporary refrigeration to avoid discarding stock.

• 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 Jackson 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 Ohio Department of Health (food safety rules in OAC 3701-21, enforced mainly by local health districts).
• 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 Jackson, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
