Cold Storage Planning in Ellendale
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 14 federally declared major disasters that included Sussex County, Delaware. The most recent are Severe Winter Storm (winter storm, declared May 29, 2026, disaster 4916); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared April 5, 2020, disaster 4526); Severe Winter Storm And Snowstorm (snowstorm, declared March 16, 2016, disaster 4265). 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
A warehouse, school addition, or plant built anywhere between Ellendale and Milford, about 7 miles away, can outrun its permanent refrigeration. A leased container or trailer fills the gap until the building is ready. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a hotel in Ellendale that renovates its banquet kitchen before a busy season. A mobile kitchen and a refrigerated container could keep breakfast and events running through the work. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
Emergency response in Delaware is coordinated by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency, working with the emergency management office for Sussex 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 Ellendale, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
