The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a city like Shawano are supermarkets, school districts, clinics and care facilities, hotels and lodges, caterers, and local processors and growers.

Door County tourism generated more than $600 million in economic impact in 2023, making it eighth among Wisconsin counties. Seasonal restaurants, resorts and festivals there often need extra cold storage and kitchen capacity in peak summer and fall months.

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.

Shawano 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: Wisconsin State Fair (Early August (sometimes starting late July)); Green Bay Packers home games (September to January). Fair food vendors often need extra cold storage, mobile kitchens and warewashing.

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

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.

Under ATCP 75.075 a new or extensively remodeled retail food establishment must submit a plan to DATCP or its agent for approval. A temporary kitchen set up as a new retail food operation can often trigger plan review, so operators should check with the regulator early.

• 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 Shawano 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 Shawano, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
