Refrigeration Rental Options in Melbourne, FL
Melbourne has about 87,600 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) and the hospitals, schools, grocers, and food businesses that come with a regional hub, any of which can lose cold storage without warning. Typical customers in Melbourne include restaurants and caterers, nursing homes and care facilities, and food processors.
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.
Before delivery to Melbourne, tell us about gates, low wires, tight turns, and how far the unit sits from power. Our 20-foot units are listed at 220V single phase, 40 to 60 amps, and a container with a generator set can cover sites without enough power.

Cold Storage Planning in Melbourne
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 26 federally declared major disasters that included Brevard County, Florida. The most recent are Hurricane Milton (hurricane, declared October 11, 2024, disaster 4834); Hurricane Debby (tropical storm, declared August 10, 2024, disaster 4806); Hurricane Idalia (hurricane, declared August 31, 2023, disaster 4734). 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. Source: OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries, checked November 2, 2026.
2. Major construction
With 1,205 restaurants and drinking places in Brevard 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 restaurant in Melbourne that closes its kitchen for a rebuild. A mobile kitchen, a dishwashing trailer, and a refrigerated container at the back door could keep the doors open while the permanent kitchen is gutted and rebuilt. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
If a storm or outage closes roads near Melbourne, check with the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the emergency management office for Brevard 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 Melbourne 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.
