Emergency Refrigeration Trailer and Container Rentals for Failed Walk-Ins
When a commercial walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental holds your product while it's repaired, and it pairs with our mobile kitchen trailers and dishwashing trailers when the whole kitchen is down. Use it for sudden failures or planned renovations, on short-term rentals or monthly leases. Restaurants, hospitals, schools, hotels, and food service operators call us first. We coordinate delivery and hookup to your power, and the line is staffed 24/7. Call now, or compare trailers and containers below.

How to pick the right refrigeration trailer
Start with temperature and volume. Our 20 ft refrigerated trailers come in two versions: a medium-temperature unit listed at 15°F and a low-temperature unit listed at -5°F, both on 220V single-phase power at 40 to 60 amps with a NEMA plug. Those are the inventory's listed points, so confirm the setpoint you need when you call.
The 12 ft trailer is the compact choice for a single kitchen. Refrigerated containers in 20 ft and 40 ft sizes suit longer outages and larger volumes. Their technical details aren't on file yet, so we confirm them by quote.
Supporting rentals
What it pairs with
If the failure is part of a bigger kitchen problem, a temporary kitchen trailer and a dish trailer can join the refrigeration on the same delivery plan. Otherwise, a single refrigerated trailer parked by your back door is usually enough to get through a compressor replacement.

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
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
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
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
Why clients trust us
We don't hide the details. Every trailer page lists its equipment and electrical needs where we have them, every unit shows a starting monthly price, and our line is staffed around the clock. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
Across the country
When kitchens go offline: five situations we plan for
The examples below are planning scenarios, not past jobs. They show how a rental fits the situations facilities run into most.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
If severe weather floods a hospital basement kitchen in Estes Park, the cooking line may be out for weeks while it's dried, inspected, and rebuilt. A mobile kitchen trailer parked near the loading dock could carry meal service through the repair.
2. Major construction
Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in Sturgis could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Marfa could run a 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer inside its secure perimeter for the length of the job.
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. What a rental costs
In every state, mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 a month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895, with weekly terms on request. 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
What kitchen equipment can I rent?
Mobile kitchen trailers from 24 ft to 40 ft, dishwashing trailers with push-through or conveyor machines, and refrigerated trailers and containers. Kitchens range from standard cooking lines to bulk kitchens with tilting skillets and walk-in coolers.
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.
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.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation. A person reviews your request, confirms availability for your dates and location, and sends a quote. Equipment is reserved once you accept the quote.
Can multiple trailers be set up at one site?
Yes. A common setup pairs a kitchen trailer with a dishwashing trailer and a refrigerated trailer, placed so staff can move between them. We plan the layout, power, and water for all of them together.
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.
