How we plan getting a trailer to Hillsboro
Every rental in Hillsboro starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Hillsboro, OR moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Hillsboro, what failed or what you are planning, and the temperature you need. Emergencies go to (888) 385-5513.
- We match the unit. A 12 ft refrigerated trailer suits tight lots and small kitchens, a 20 ft trailer holds more, and a refrigerated container is for bulk storage over longer jobs.
- Roads that serve Hillsboro include US-26. We confirm which approach suits a trailer, how the truck turns onto your site, and whether anything on the last few blocks is posted or restricted.
- Hillsboro sits about 14 miles west of Portland, Oregon's largest city on our list, so it is part of the same metro-area planning.
- We confirm power and placement. The 20 ft trailers list 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps with a NEMA plug, so have an electrician confirm your service. Pick a firm, level spot with room for the door to open and for the truck to reach it.
- Delivery and setup. On site, setup takes about 1 hour for a refrigeration unit, plus 4 to 6 hours if a ramp is needed or 5 to 15 minutes for stairs. Delivery timing, servicing, and minimum terms are written into your quote, and an inquiry does not reserve equipment.
Emergency refrigeration support in Hillsboro
When cold storage fails in Hillsboro, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:
In Oregon, calls like this often follow flood and earthquake. Operations that cannot wait for the grid to return can rent a refrigerated trailer as backup walk-in space and keep inventory at holding temperature.
For official emergency information in Oregon, see Oregon Department of Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.
- The address in Hillsboro (and the Washington 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.
What drives cold-storage demand around Hillsboro
West of the Cascades, summers are warm and dry and winters are chilly, wet and only occasionally snowy; most rain falls from November through March. East of the Cascades the high desert has hotter summers and colder, snowier winters, and the Cascades themselves get hundreds of inches of snow. Food producers, distributors, restaurants, and healthcare facilities use trailers and containers for both emergencies and planned work.
Hillsboro is the center of Oregon's Silicon Forest; Intel is the largest employer with about 20,000 employees per the city's 2022 report, and Nike, Amazon, Tokyo Electron and Qorvo are also among top employers. Large tech campuses run cafeterias and can need temporary kitchens or dishwashing during construction or outages.
Hillsboro Medical Center (167 beds) and Kaiser Westside Medical Center (126 beds) are the main hospitals. Hospital kitchens may need temporary kitchen or refrigeration capacity during repairs.
Annual events include a Fourth of July Parade billed as Oregon's second largest, the Oregon International Air Show and the Washington County Fair. Large events raise demand for temporary food service and refrigeration.
Flood risk in Oregon (November to March): Low-lying valleys such as Tillamook have flooded repeatedly, in 1950, 1953, 1955 and 1996, and winter floods are common there; US 101 is also prone to rain-driven landslide closures. Flooding can damage ground-floor kitchens and cold storage and cut off deliveries, which can create a need for temporary kitchens or refrigerated space.
Earthquake risk in Oregon (Year-round): The Oregon Department of Emergency Management warns of a possible magnitude 9.0+ Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami; the fault last ruptured in 1700. Coastal communities could be cut off by landslides, liquefaction and damaged bridges. A major quake can interrupt power and roads for extended periods, which can create a need for emergency cold storage and temporary kitchens in affected areas.
The February 2021 ice storm left roughly 350,000 Portland General Electric customers without power at the peak, and the utility said restoration could take as long as a week for the last customers. Prolonged outages of this kind often force restaurants and grocers to relocate perishable stock into temporary refrigeration.
Food service and business in Hillsboro
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Hillsboro are health systems, school districts and campuses, hotel and banquet kitchens, grocery chains, cold-storage and distribution operators, and large events.
Tillamook County has a dairy economy centered on the Tillamook County Creamery Association, which makes cheese, ice cream and yogurt. Dairy production and visitor tourism both rely on cold chain, and flood or outage events can create a need for emergency refrigeration.
Hood River Valley is known for apple and pear orchards, cherries and wineries, and Salem is a major food-processing center with firms such as Kettle Foods and NORPAC Foods. Fruit packing and food processing create seasonal cold storage peaks that often exceed permanent capacity.
Hillsboro 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 Oregon: Portland Rose Festival (June); Eugene summer festivals (Oregon Bach Festival, Oregon Country Fair) (July). Multi-day civic festivals often use temporary food service and cold storage.
Equipment you can rent in Hillsboro

If the kitchen itself is down, add a mobile kitchen and a dishwashing trailer so Hillsboro operators can keep serving while cold storage is covered.
20 ft Refrigerated Trailer

Starting from $2,995 / month
A stationary cold storage box for bulk product, built for longer projects, seasonal peaks, and renovations.
40 ft Refrigerated Container
Starting from $3,995 / month
The largest cold storage option. It takes pallets and bulk product for food distribution, disaster response, and large facilities.
Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Hillsboro
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Hillsboro is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
Temporary restaurants submit a license application (and fee if applicable) to the local public health authority for the county where they will operate. Event or disaster-related temporary kitchens usually require local approval first.
Mobile units must go through plan review with the local environmental health department before licensing, and a unit licensed in one county must notify the local health department before operating in another county (ORS 624.320). Plan review and cross-county notification rules can affect how a mobile kitchen is put into service.
- 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 Hillsboro 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 Washington County Environmental Health.
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
