In Texas, calls like this often follow winter storm and wildfire. When an outage runs long, a 20 ft refrigerated trailer rental gives a kitchen, grocer, or care facility cold space to move product into while the building recovers.

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

The Port of Houston ranks first in the U.S. for international waterborne tonnage and second for total cargo tonnage. Port and distribution activity often needs overflow refrigerated storage for imported and exported perishables.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area is home to 23 Fortune 500 companies, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the world's busiest transportation hubs. A major air and rail distribution hub concentrates food distributors and caterers that can need extra refrigerated or kitchen capacity.

Woodway 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 Texas: South by Southwest (SXSW) (March); San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo (February). Festival catering and pop-up food service can use temporary kitchens, cold storage and dishwashing trailers.

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

Retail food establishments in Texas are regulated under the Texas Food Establishment Rules, 25 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 228, which incorporate the federal Food Code; DSHS publishes the rules and guidance. Any temporary kitchen or storage used by a food business needs to meet these state rules, so confirm requirements with the permitting authority before setting up.

DSHS defines a temporary food establishment as one operating no more than 14 consecutive days at a single event; a single-event permit is valid 14 days and a multiple-event permit two years. A temporary kitchen set up for an event or short emergency use generally falls under this permit category.

• 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 Woodway 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 Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Retail Food Establishments 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 Woodway, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
