How we plan getting a trailer to Spokane
Every rental in Spokane starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Spokane, WA moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Spokane, 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 Spokane include I-90. 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.
- Spokane is roughly 229 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 Spokane
Emergency support for Spokane 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 other and earthquake. Operators facing this risk can plan ahead with a refrigerated container rental for bulk cold storage or a mobile kitchen to keep serving.
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 Spokane (and the Spokane 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 Spokane
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 Spokane.
Spokane is the Spokane County seat and home to Gonzaga University, Whitworth University and a University District with medical and biomedical programs. Campus dining and medical facilities can need temporary kitchens or dishwashing support during outages or renovations.
Spokane hosts Hoopfest, a large 3-on-3 street basketball tournament. Large annual events create demand for temporary food service and refrigeration.
Spokane set an all-time high of 109 F on June 29, 2021, and the Spokane area used rolling outages during the heat wave. Extreme heat and grid load shedding can interrupt refrigeration.
Other risk in Washington (October to March): Windstorms are a recurring hazard in western Washington, including the 1962 Columbus Day storm and the December 2006 Hanukkah Eve windstorm that left about 1.2 million customers without power. Windstorm outages that last several days can spoil refrigerated inventory, which can create a need for temporary cold storage or a temporary kitchen.
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.
The December 2006 Hanukkah Eve windstorm cut power to about 1.2 million customers in Washington, with hundreds of thousands still without power several days later and 14 deaths in western Washington. Multi-day outages after major windstorms often force restaurants and grocers to move perishable stock into temporary refrigeration.
Food service and business in Spokane
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Spokane are hospital systems, universities, hotels and convention venues, large grocers, food distributors and processors, and stadium and event operators.
Washington has led the nation in apple production since the 1920s (about 58 percent of U.S. apples in 2004), mostly from the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys, and also led in sweet cherries and hops. Fruit packing and storage create sharp seasonal peaks that often exceed permanent cold storage capacity.
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.
Spokane 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 Spokane
Refrigeration is our focus, and Spokane customers rent the same four units as the rest of Washington:
Many Spokane 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 Spokane
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Spokane is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
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.
The Department of Health has a pending food truck rule revision covering distance to employee restrooms, alongside a Retail Food Code revision. Mobile unit layout and restroom access rules may change, so operators of mobile kitchens should check current requirements.
- 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 Spokane 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 Spokane Regional Health District (food safety).
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
