Cold Storage Planning in Dothan
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 17 federally declared major disasters that included Houston County, Alabama. The most recent are Hurricane Sally (hurricane, declared September 20, 2020, disaster 4563); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 29, 2020, disaster 4503); Hurricane Michael (hurricane, declared November 5, 2018, disaster 4406). When an event like that interrupts power or closes a building, a refrigerated trailer or container can protect stored food and supplies while repairs are made.

2. Major construction
Large projects in Alabama tend to run on temporary power and shifting schedules, and Dothan is no exception. Rented refrigeration can follow the schedule when a permanent cooler cannot. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a hospital in Dothan that rebuilds its food-service area. A refrigerated container and a dishwashing trailer could keep patient meals moving through the construction. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
If a storm or outage closes roads near Dothan, check with the Alabama Emergency Management Agency and the emergency management office for Houston County for public guidance. Our trucks follow a route we plan with you in advance, and we do not claim an official staging route to any site.
5. Local rental costs
Pricing for Dothan starts from $995 per month for refrigerated containers and walk-in refrigeration trailers, and from $4,995 per month for mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers. The final figure depends on the delivery distance, the size and temperature you need, and how long you rent. See the price list or request a quote.
