Two products cover most Highland Lakes calls. A refrigeration trailer is the quick answer: a walk-in cooler or freezer that arrives on wheels and plugs in.

Cold Storage Planning in Highland Lakes
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 14 federally declared major disasters that included Shelby County, Alabama. The most recent are Severe Storms And Flooding (severe storm, declared December 21, 2021, disaster 4632); Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (severe storm, declared April 26, 2021, disaster 4596); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 29, 2020, disaster 4503). 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
With 58 grocery stores in Shelby County, new construction here often ends in a kitchen or cold room that must open on a fixed date. If the walk-in is late, rented cold storage keeps the opening on schedule. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a grocery store in Highland Lakes that remodels its cooler wall. Refrigeration trailers parked behind the store could hold dairy and produce for the weeks the cases are out of service. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
Emergency response in Alabama is coordinated by the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, working with the emergency management office for Shelby County. Public emergency operations are separate from our own delivery arrangements. We plan the truck route and site access with you, and we do not claim a published staging route for any site.
5. Local rental costs
Starting prices: $995 per month for refrigerated containers and walk-in trailers, $4,995 per month for mobile kitchens, and $4,995 per month for dishwashing trailers. We add the delivery distance to Highland Lakes, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
