Refrigeration Rental Options in Smiths Station, AL
Smiths Station is a community of about 5,580 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) in Lee County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage. Typical customers in Smiths Station include warehouses and distribution centers, hotels and event venues, and restaurants and caterers.
Choose by how long and how much. For a short emergency, a walk-in refrigeration trailer is usually the faster setup. For months of storage or a large inventory, a cold storage container in 20, 24, or 40 feet gives more room. Our 20-foot units are listed at 15°F for coolers and -5°F for freezers.
For a Smiths Station site, plan a level area, a clear route for a tow vehicle, and 220V single-phase power (40 to 60 amps for our 20-foot units). If power is limited, a container with a generator set may be the answer. We confirm placement and power before delivery.

Cold Storage Planning in Smiths Station
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 12 federally declared major disasters that included Lee County, Alabama. The most recent are Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 29, 2020, disaster 4503); Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (tornado, declared March 5, 2019, disaster 4419); Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (severe storm, declared January 21, 2016, disaster 4251). 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 Smiths Station 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 warehouse in Smiths Station that takes on a grocery contract before its cold room is ready. Leased refrigerated containers could cover the first months. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
For a Smiths Station emergency, the Alabama Emergency Management Agency coordinates at the state level and the emergency management office for Lee County at the local level. Our deliveries are our own: we plan the route, the gate, and the power with you, and we do not claim any official staging route.
5. Local rental costs
A rental here begins at $995 per month for a refrigerated container or walk-in trailer. Mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers begin at $4,995 per month. Distance to Smiths Station, power, temperature, and term decide the quote we confirm before anything ships. See the price list or request a quote.
