How we plan getting a trailer to Moab
Every rental in Moab starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Moab, UT moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Moab, what failed or what you are planning, and the temperature you need. Emergencies go to (888) 385-5513.
- We match the unit. A 12 ft refrigerated trailer suits tight lots and small kitchens, a 20 ft trailer holds more, and a refrigerated container is for bulk storage over longer jobs.
- Roads that serve Moab include US-191 and SR-128. We confirm which approach suits a trailer, how the truck turns onto your site, and whether anything on the last few blocks is posted or restricted.
- Moab is roughly 198 straight-line miles southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah's largest city on our list. A longer trip means we plan routes, weather, and delivery timing with more care, and we confirm both in your quote.
- We confirm power and placement. The 20 ft trailers list 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps with a NEMA plug, so have an electrician confirm your service. Pick a firm, level spot with room for the door to open and for the truck to reach it.
- Delivery and setup. On site, setup takes about 1 hour for a refrigeration unit, plus 4 to 6 hours if a ramp is needed or 5 to 15 minutes for stairs. Delivery timing, servicing, and minimum terms are written into your quote, and an inquiry does not reserve equipment.
Emergency refrigeration support in Moab
Emergency support for Moab runs through one number, (888) 385-5513, answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have these details ready:
In Utah, calls like this often follow earthquake and flood. After a quake, buildings can be closed for inspection while product is still inside; a refrigerated trailer rental gives operators somewhere cold to relocate it.
For official emergency information in Utah, see Utah Division of Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.
- The address in Moab (and the Grand 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.
What drives cold-storage demand around Moab
Summers are hot and very dry; Salt Lake City averages about a 94F July high with roughly 36 percent relative humidity, while St. George averages about 102F in July. Winters are cold at elevation, with below-zero lows in most areas most years, and Salt Lake City sees about 52 inches of snow a year. Winter inversions can trap cold air and haze in valleys for weeks. The hottest stretch runs june to August, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Moab.
Moab is the seat of Grand County and a gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, with mountain biking and off-road tourism. A small town with big visitor surges can often need extra cold storage and temporary kitchens.
Annual events include the Moab Jeep Safari, the March Skinny Tire Festival, the September Moab Music Festival and the November Moab Folk Festival. Festival weekends can create temporary food service and refrigeration demand.
Moab averages about 41 days a year at or above 100F and has a record high of 114F. Extreme heat makes refrigeration failure especially costly.
Moab was one of about a dozen southern Utah cities named in a June 2026 Rocky Mountain Power 48-hour wildfire shutoff watch. A shutoff watch can leave restaurants without refrigeration, which often creates a need for temporary cold storage.
Earthquake risk in Utah (year-round): A 2016 USGS and Utah working group forecast put the chance of at least one magnitude 6.75 or larger quake on the Wasatch Front at about 43 percent over 50 years. A major quake can cut power and damage kitchens and cold rooms across the Wasatch Front, which can create sudden demand for emergency refrigeration and temporary kitchens.
Flood risk in Utah (July to September (monsoon); spring snowmelt): Intense thunderstorms cause flash floods, especially in rugged southern Utah. A January 2005 100-year flood hit St. George, and heavy flooding in August 2021 damaged about 200 homes in Enoch. Flooded food facilities and lost power can often force operators to bring in temporary refrigeration and warewashing while they repair.
Rocky Mountain Power has used wildfire Public Safety Power Shutoffs in Utah, mostly in southern and central areas. A June 2025 watch covered roughly 18,000 customers, and a shutoff left about 7,700 customers without power in places such as Beaver, Milford and Cedar City. A planned shutoff can last hours to days and can leave restaurants, stores and caterers without refrigeration.
Food service and business in Moab
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Moab are grocers, restaurants, school and hospital kitchens, hotels, farm and food-processing operations, and community events that draw crowds.
Gossner Foods in Logan is a large Swiss cheese maker that buys milk from Cache Valley dairy farms, making northern Utah a dairy and cheese processing hub. Dairy processing and distribution can often need temporary refrigerated trailers when plants or warehouses are at capacity or equipment fails.
Sanpete County is Utah's turkey center, home to the Moroni Feed Company cooperative and its Norbest brand, a major regional turkey grower and processor. Turkey processing and holiday-season shipping can create heavy seasonal demand for refrigerated trailer space.
Moab 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 Utah: Utah State Fair (September); Days of '47 Rodeo (July). Large fairs bring many food vendors who each need temporary food permits, cold storage and warewashing.
Equipment you can rent in Moab
Refrigeration is our focus, and Moab customers rent the same four units as the rest of Utah:
Many Moab requests pair cold storage with a mobile kitchen rental or a dishwashing trailer rental, so a facility can cook, serve, and clean up during a repair or renovation.
20 ft Refrigerated Trailer
Starting from $1,895 / month
The workhorse. A 20 ft trailer comes as a 32°F cooler or as a low-temperature freezer configuration, so you can match what failed.
20 ft Refrigerated Container
Starting from $2,995 / month
A stationary cold storage box for bulk product, built for longer projects, seasonal peaks, and renovations.
40 ft Refrigerated Container
Starting from $3,995 / month
The largest cold storage option. It takes pallets and bulk product for food distribution, disaster response, and large facilities.
Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Moab
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Moab is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
CDC guidance says a closed refrigerator keeps food safe for about 4 hours without power; after that, perishable items such as meat, fish, eggs and milk should be discarded. No Utah-specific outage page was located, so check with the local health department. The 4-hour window is why operators often need replacement refrigeration quickly after a power loss.
Under Utah rule R392-102, a mobile food business needs a permit from a local health department. A temporary permit covers fixed-location operation up to 14 consecutive days, and health departments must honor mobile permits issued by other Utah health departments. Anyone running a mobile kitchen in Utah should confirm the permit with the local health department where it will operate.
- 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 Moab 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 Southeast Utah Health Department.
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
