In Oregon, calls like this often follow wildfire and ice storm. Planned and emergency power shutoffs can leave stores and kitchens without refrigeration, and a refrigerated trailer with its own cooling system gives them somewhere cold to put product.

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 Myrtle Creek (and the Douglas 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 community like Myrtle Creek are the town grocery, the school district kitchen, a hospital or clinic, local restaurants, small food producers, and event organizers.

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.

The 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture put Oregon's agricultural product sales at about $6.7 billion, with nurseries and greenhouses, cattle and calves, milk, hay and grass seed among the leading commodities. A broad perishable agriculture base means packers, processors and growers often need cold storage that can run short at harvest peaks.

Myrtle Creek 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: Hood River Valley Blossom Time and Harvest Fest (April and October); Oregon State Fair (Late August through Labor Day). Harvest and festival crowds in an orchard region can need temporary cold storage and food service.

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

Oregon Health Authority's mobile food unit page says a mobile unit license application goes to the local public health authority for the area where the unit will operate. A mobile kitchen or similar unit generally needs local licensing before it can serve the public.

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.

• 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 Myrtle Creek 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 Douglas County Public Health (local public health authority).
• 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 Myrtle Creek, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
