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

• The address in Winchester (and the Franklin 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 Winchester are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

FedEx runs its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, and the Port of Memphis is the fifth-busiest inland water port in the U.S. A large logistics base means many perishable shipments pass through the state and can be held in temporary refrigerated trailers.

Chattanooga opened the world's first Coca-Cola bottling plant in 1899, and food and beverage production remains a major industry in the city. Beverage and food plants rely on cold chains that can be interrupted by outages or equipment failures.

Winchester 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 Tennessee: Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival (June); CMA Fest (June). A multi-day festival on a farm site needs temporary refrigeration and food prep capacity.

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

State law defines a temporary food service establishment as one operating at a fixed location with an organized temporary event for more than one day and up to fourteen consecutive days. Event kitchens that run longer than 14 days may fall outside the temporary category and need a different permit.

Food service establishment rules are in Tennessee rule chapter 1200-23-01; plan submittals and enforcement are covered in section 1200-23-01-.08. These rules set the standards a temporary kitchen or warewashing setup is inspected against.

• 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 Winchester 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 Tennessee Department of Health, Environmental Health (Food Service program).
• 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 Winchester, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
