The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a community like New Shoreham are a small grocer, a clinic or care home kitchen, the school lunch program, roadside restaurants, and the volunteers who run festivals and community suppers.

State agriculture includes nursery stock, vegetables, dairy and eggs, with milk the largest single product at about $4.6 million in 2017 sales. Dairy and egg producers rely on continuous refrigeration, so equipment failures create urgent storage needs.

Block Island has at least 40 restaurants, most closing outside the tourist season, and takes part in commercial aquaculture and kelp farming. Seasonal restaurants and aquaculture operations can need temporary cold storage and kitchen capacity at peak times.

New Shoreham 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 Rhode Island: Cumberlandfest (second weekend of August); Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals. Town festivals often rely on temporary food prep and cold storage.

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

RIDOH advises food retailers to prepare an emergency plan and supplies in advance, and points to its Office of Food Protection for questions about specific foods after an outage. Temporary cold storage is part of a contingency plan that regulators expect operators to think through.

Selling food at a temporary event requires a Mobile Food Service license from RIDOH, and applications are due at least 30 days in advance. Event caterers using a temporary kitchen or food trailer should plan the permit timeline well ahead.

• 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 New Shoreham 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 Rhode Island Department of Health, Office of Food Protection.
• 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.
