Refrigeration Rental Options in St. Petersburg, FL
St. Petersburg is one of Florida's larger communities, with about 267,000 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate), so its hospitals, distribution centers, restaurants, and event venues use more cold storage than any one building holds. Typical customers in St. Petersburg include hospitals, hotels and event venues, and nursing homes and care facilities.
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 St. Petersburg, 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 St. Petersburg
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 25 federally declared major disasters that included Pinellas County, Florida. The most recent are Hurricane Milton (hurricane, declared October 11, 2024, disaster 4834); Hurricane Helene (hurricane, declared September 28, 2024, disaster 4828); Hurricane Debby (tropical storm, declared August 10, 2024, disaster 4806). 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 33 private hospitals in Pinellas 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 hospital in St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg, check with the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the emergency management office for Pinellas 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 St. Petersburg 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.
