In Pennsylvania, calls like this often follow flood and winter storm. 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 Pennsylvania, see Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA). We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Uniontown (and the Fayette 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 Uniontown are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.

Philadelphia's Packer Avenue terminal has about 2.2 million cubic feet of refrigerated storage and 2,500 reefer plugs, and Holt-operated terminals handled over 88 percent of East Coast Chilean fruit in 2024. Seasonal fruit imports create peaks in demand for extra reefer capacity and overflow cold storage near the port.

Hershey is the home of North America's largest chocolate maker and of Hersheypark, which opened in 1906, plus Penn State Health's Hershey Medical Center. Large tourism, hospital and confectionery operations all depend on temperature-controlled storage and high-volume food service.

Uniontown 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 Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania Farm Show (January); Great Allentown Fair (Late August to early September). A very large food-service event running in mid-winter depends on cold storage and high-volume dishwashing.

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

Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Erie, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties are under county health department jurisdiction, so temporary and mobile food applications there go through the county health department rather than the state. Check which agency licenses a given site before ordering a temporary kitchen or cold storage for food service use.

The Department of Agriculture's power outage guideline for restaurants and retail food facilities urges a written contingency plan, coolers on hand if an outage could exceed four hours, and contacting the local food sanitarian to judge food safety. Cold holding at or below 41 F during an outage is the goal, which is where temporary refrigeration can help.

• 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 Uniontown 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 Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratory Services.
• 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 Uniontown, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
