Refrigeration Trailers

40 ft Refrigerated Container Rental

The 40 ft refrigerated container is emergency refrigeration for the day a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down, and it pairs with our mobile kitchen trailers when the whole kitchen is offline. Rent it for a sudden failure or a planned renovation, short-term by the week or on a long-term monthly lease. Hospitals, schools, restaurants, hotels, and correctional facilities rent it. It suits institutional freezer replacement, distribution-scale cold storage, disaster-response food holding. We coordinate delivery, placement, and setup with your team, and our line is answered 24/7. Ask us to check availability and send a quote for your site.

  • How long the permanent walk-in will be down
  • Power available near the parking spot
  • Where the trailer can park close to receiving

Getting the site ready

Plan a level parking spot with a clear delivery route and short runs to power. Setup takes about 1 hour once the trailer is placed; stairs take 5 to 15 minutes and a ramp 4 to 6 hours. See the planning guide for the full checklist.

Why choose us

Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA

When a kitchen goes offline, the meals don't stop. Patients still eat at noon, students still line up, and crews still need dinner. A working temporary kitchen, dish line, and cold storage keep that schedule intact while the permanent space is rebuilt or repaired.

  • Accelerated Deployment

    Delivery is scheduled around the day your kitchen closes, so there's no gap in service.

  • 24/7 Emergency Service

    Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so a failed walk-in at 2 a.m. gets a real answer.

  • End-to-End Project Support

    You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.

  • Flexible Rental Solutions

    Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.

  • Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment

    Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.

  • Experienced Logistics Coordination

    Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.

Why clients trust us

Straight answers build trust: published equipment lists, starting monthly prices on every unit, setup times stated up front, and a 24/7 phone line. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.

When kitchens go offline: five situations we plan for

Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.

  1. 1. After a storm, flood, or outage

    A kitchen fire, even a small one, usually means hood cleaning, inspection, and repairs before cooking resumes. A restaurant or care home in Detroit Lakes could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.

  2. 2. Major construction

    Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in Tombstone could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.

  3. 3. Kitchen renovation

    Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Forks with summer meal programs could lease a mobile kitchen so the renovation doesn't stop service.

  4. 4. Emergency equipment access

    In a declared disaster, public emergency logistics run through state and county emergency management agencies and their staging areas. Our deliveries are arranged separately with you: we agree the route, the gate, and the placement for your site before the truck leaves.

  5. 5. What a rental costs

    A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment; add a dish trailer from $4,995 a month or cold storage from $1,895 a month. These starting rates apply in every location we serve. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted for your address. Compare every unit's price or build an estimate in the rental calculator.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do temporary kitchen trailers need permits?

Often, yes, but it varies. Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals depend on your city or county, your facility, and how the kitchen will be used. Check with your local authorities early; we can share equipment details they ask for.

Can I rent a temporary kitchen during a renovation?

Yes. Renovation is the most common reason for a kitchen rental. The trailer parks near your building, connects to power and water, and carries food service until the permanent kitchen reopens. Rentals run by the week or month, so the term can follow your construction schedule.

How fast can you help when a walk-in cooler fails?

Call (888) 385-5513 any time, day or night. We'll confirm the nearest available refrigerated trailer or container, the delivery timing for your address, and the power it needs. We don't promise a delivery time before checking availability for your site.

How much does a kitchen trailer rental cost?

Mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 per month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995 per month, and refrigeration from $1,895 per month. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted separately for your location.

What utilities does a kitchen trailer need?

Electrical service, potable water, and a wastewater plan. Our kitchen trailers list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps; each trailer's page shows its own requirement. Wastewater can go to a sewer connection or to holding and pump-out, depending on the site.
