Hyde Park, Vermont Refrigeration Trailer Rentals

In Vermont, calls like this often follow drought and heat wave. When summer heat pushes a compressor past its limit, a 12 ft refrigerated trailer or 20 ft refrigerated trailer can take over cold storage while the walk-in is repaired.

For official emergency information in Vermont, see Vermont Emergency Management. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Hyde Park (and the Lamoille 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 community like Hyde Park are the town grocery, the school district kitchen, a hospital or clinic, local restaurants, small food producers, and event organizers.

Vermont produces more than 41 percent of the nation's maple syrup according to a state annual report, and set a record of 1,990,000 gallons in 2016. Maple producers and packers need storage and food-safe operations in late winter and spring.

The state tourism department estimates that 2.5 million visitors spend about $500 million during the fall foliage season, and calls fall Vermont's biggest draw. Fall peaks strain restaurants and caterers, which can need extra cold storage and warewashing.

Hyde Park 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 Vermont: Lake Champlain International Father's Day Fishing Derby (June); Champlain Valley Fair (Late August). Large outdoor events often use temporary food service and cold storage.

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

Under 18 V.S.A. section 4351, a person may not operate a retail food establishment without a license from the Department of Health. Temporary food operations are still subject to state licensing.

The Health Department's electrical outage guidance for food establishments (July 2023) covers refrigeration failure, using a three-bay sink if the dishwasher is down, and asks operators with outages of four hours or longer to contact the department. Outages beyond four hours and lost dishwashing capacity are the situations where emergency cold storage or warewashing may be considered.

• 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 Hyde Park 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 Vermont Department of Health, Food and Lodging 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 Hyde Park, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
