In Oregon, calls like this often follow ice storm and heat wave. For this kind of event, a refrigerated container rental holds bulk product, and a 12 ft trailer covers a small kitchen's cooler and freezer.

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 Tillamook (and the Tillamook 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 Tillamook are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Dungeness crab is Oregon's most valuable single-species fishery; the 2024-25 season paid fishermen roughly $97 million, with Newport the leading port by landings. Seafood landings and processing at coastal ports need continuous refrigeration, and temporary capacity can be needed during peak landings or outages.

Astoria and Newport have significant bottom and mid-water trawl activity for groundfish, the second most valuable commercial fishery after crab. Fish processors and docks depend on ice and cold storage, and temporary refrigerated units can support surge landings.

Tillamook 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.

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

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.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture publishes a retail food establishment power outage fact sheet saying time/temperature control foods must be evaluated to see whether safe temperatures were maintained and sending questions to local inspectors. Operators in an outage can use it to decide what to keep, and may seek temporary cold storage to hold safe 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 Tillamook 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 Tillamook 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 Tillamook, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
