• The address in Thermopolis (and the Hot Springs 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 community like Thermopolis are the town grocery, the school district kitchen, a hospital or clinic, local restaurants, small food producers, and event organizers.

Sugar beets are the top agricultural product around Worland, whose top employers include Admiral Beverage, Wyoming Sugar Company, Crown Cork & Seal and MillerCoors. Food and beverage processing in the Bighorn Basin can need extra cold storage at harvest.

Powell's main cash crops are sugar beets, barley and pinto beans, and beef production is also important. Seasonal harvest and shipping can create short-term refrigerated storage needs.

Thermopolis 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: Platte County Fair and Rodeo (August (second full week)); Cheyenne Frontier Days (late July). County fair vendors can need temporary refrigeration and warewashing.

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

The Consumer Health Services site lists Disaster Relief and Wildfire Resources pages, though no outage-specific food guidance was found on the food safety page. The Department of Health lists Public Health Preparedness and Response resources. Emergency operators can start with these state resources after fires or outages.

CDC guidance says a closed refrigerator keeps food safe for up to 4 hours without power and a full freezer for about 48 hours; after that, perishable food such as meat, fish, eggs and milk should be discarded. The 4-hour window is why operators often need replacement refrigeration quickly after a power loss.

• 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 Thermopolis 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 Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Consumer Health Services.
• 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 Thermopolis, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
