How we plan getting a trailer to Afton
Every rental in Afton starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Afton, WY moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Afton, 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 Afton include US-89. 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.
- Afton is roughly 334 straight-line miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming'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.

What drives cold-storage demand around Afton
July highs average about 80F to 90F across most of the state (Casper 87F, Cheyenne about 84F) with cool nights, and humidity is moderate. Winters are cold, with Casper's January average low near 12F and Cheyenne averaging about 63 inches of snow a year. The state is windier than most of the U.S. Resorts, lodges, hospitals, and event operators rely on short-term refrigeration for busy seasons and breakdowns.
Afton averages about 88 inches of snow a year and has a record low of -46F (January 1, 1979); the Lincoln County seat is Kemmerer. Heavy snow and deep cold can interrupt power and deliveries in Star Valley.
Other risk in Wyoming (year-round): High wind: the state is described as windier than most of the U.S. Wind can damage power lines and cause outages that affect refrigerated food.
Winter storm risk in Wyoming (October to April): The 77-mile stretch of I-80 between Rawlins and Laramie has frequent winter closures, and Afton averages nearly 88 inches of snow a year. Winter closures can strand refrigerated deliveries and cause outages, which can create a need for temporary cold storage.
The September 2020 windstorm affected Rocky Mountain Power customers in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, and the utility aimed to restore nearly all by September 10, 2020. Multi-day wind outages can spoil refrigerated inventory.
Food service and business in Afton
The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a community like Afton are the town grocery, the school district kitchen, a hospital or clinic, local restaurants, small food producers, and event organizers.
Yellowstone National Park, nearly all of it in northwest Wyoming, recorded about 4.76 million visitors in 2025. Gateway-town restaurants and lodges can need extra cold storage and temporary kitchens in peak season.
Cheyenne Frontier Days draws nearly 200,000 people a year, and its free pancake breakfasts alone serve about 40,000 people. Large food service operations at a mass event rely on temporary refrigeration and warewashing.
Afton 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 Wyoming: College National Finals Rodeo; Laramie Jubilee Days (around July 4). Large rodeo crowds can need extra food service and cold storage.
