How we plan getting a trailer to Chelan
Every rental in Chelan starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Chelan, WA moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Chelan, 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 Chelan include US-97A. 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.
- Chelan is roughly 110 straight-line miles east of Seattle, Washington'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 Chelan
Emergency support for Chelan runs through one number, (888) 385-5513, answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have these details ready:
In Washington, calls like this often follow earthquake and wildfire. 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 Washington, see Washington Military Department, Emergency Management Division. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.
- The address in Chelan (and the Chelan 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 Chelan
Western Washington has a mild, Mediterranean-style climate with wet winters and relatively dry summers, while eastern Washington sits in the Cascades rain shadow with semiarid summers that can turn very hot and colder, snowier winters. The June 2021 heat wave set an all-time state record of 120 F at Hanford, and cold interior towns such as Colville have seen lows near minus 29 F. The hottest stretch runs july to September, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Chelan.
Chelan is an agricultural center and resort community on Lake Chelan in Chelan County, historically known for orchards. Resort restaurants and orchard operations often need extra cold storage and temporary kitchens in peak season.
Earthquake risk in Washington (Year-round): Seattle sits in a major seismic zone, with the 2001 Nisqually earthquake as a recent example and the Cascadia subduction zone as a long-term threat; the state Emergency Management Division also tracks tsunami risk on the coast. A major quake can interrupt grid power and damage commercial kitchens and cold rooms, which can create a need for emergency cold storage and temporary food service.
Wildfire risk in Washington (July to October): The 2020 season burned about 842,000 acres in Washington, with 80 fires and nearly 300,000 acres burned on September 7 alone; the 2015 Okanogan Complex burned about 305,000 acres in Okanogan County. Large fires force evacuations and business closures, and crews and evacuees often need temporary kitchens and cold storage.
During the June 2021 heat wave, several Washington utilities recorded record demand, asked customers to conserve, and the Spokane area used rolling power outages to reduce grid load. Heat-driven grid stress can interrupt power at the time refrigeration loads are highest.
Food service and business in Chelan
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a community like Chelan are grocers, school and care-home kitchens, restaurants, lodges and motels, farm and ranch operations, and the groups that run fairs, rodeos, and festivals.
Washington ranks third in U.S. wine production, with more than 55,000 acres of vineyards and over 940 wineries as of 2017, and ranks second nationally in fall potato production. Wineries and potato processors depend on temperature-controlled storage and can need temporary capacity at harvest.
The Northwest Seaport Alliance of Seattle and Tacoma was described at its 2015 formation as creating the third-largest cargo gateway in the United States, handling more than 3.5 million TEUs that year. Port-area importers and exporters can need overflow or temporary refrigerated storage when volumes surge.
Chelan 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 Washington: Omak Stampede (Second weekend of August); Bellevue Arts and Crafts Fair and Strawberry Festival (June and July). Rural events can strain local food service and may need temporary kitchens and refrigerated storage.
Equipment you can rent in Chelan

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.

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 Chelan
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Chelan is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
The Department of Health publishes a county-by-county list of local health agency food safety contacts, and permits for food businesses are handled locally. Anyone placing a temporary kitchen or refrigerated unit at a food business should confirm requirements with the local health agency.
Public Health - Seattle & King County lists separate temporary food business and mobile food business permit pages, and Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department lists Temporary Events, Mobile Food Units and food establishment plan review pages with a plan review phone line. Temporary food service and mobile units are permitted by the local health agency, and plan review may apply to new or modified setups.
- 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 Chelan 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 Chelan-Douglas Health District (food safety program).
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
