Refrigeration Rental Options in Carlton, GA
Carlton is a smaller community in Madison County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Carlton include food processors, nursing homes and care facilities, 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.
Before delivery to Carlton, 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 Carlton
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 7 federally declared major disasters that included Madison County, Georgia. The most recent are Hurricane Helene (hurricane, declared September 30, 2024, disaster 4830); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 29, 2020, disaster 4501); Hurricane Irma (hurricane, declared September 15, 2017, disaster 4338). 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 Carlton and Elberton, about 11 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 food processor in Carlton that upgrades its cold room. A refrigeration trailer could hold finished product while the production floor is down. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
Emergency response in Georgia is coordinated by the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, working with the emergency management office for Madison 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 Carlton, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
