In Wisconsin, calls like this often follow winter storm and heat wave. 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.

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

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

Green Bay is a hub for paper and meatpacking, with JBS and American Foods Group among the meat processors in the city. Meat processing and distribution rely on refrigerated storage and trailers during production surges or maintenance.

Wisconsin is the nation's largest cheese-producing state, with about 25 percent of U.S. cheese production, and ranks second in milk output with more than 7,000 dairy farms. Dairy processing and distribution depend on continuous cold chains, so temporary refrigerated capacity can help during equipment failures or peak seasons.

Antigo 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 Wisconsin: Summerfest (Late June to early July); Wisconsin State Fair (Early August (sometimes starting late July)). Large festivals often depend on temporary refrigeration and food service capacity.

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

Vernon County defines a transient (temporary) retail food establishment as one operating at a fixed location in connection with a special event for no more than 14 consecutive days. Event caterers using temporary kitchens often need a transient license, and rules and fees vary by licensing agency.

DATCP publishes a power-loss fact sheet for retail food establishments that tells operators to log the outage start time and monitor equipment and TCS food temperatures. Food businesses facing an outage can often use temporary refrigeration, and should keep temperature logs to support decisions on holding or discarding food.

• 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 Antigo 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 Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Division of Food and Recreational Safety.
• 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 Antigo, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
