Refrigeration Rental Options in Hickory, KY
Hickory is a smaller community in Graves County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Hickory include nursing homes and care facilities, food processors, and grocery stores.
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 Hickory, 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 Hickory
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 15 federally declared major disasters that included Graves County, Kentucky. The most recent are Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (severe storm, declared April 24, 2025, disaster 4864); Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, Landslides, And Mudslides (severe storm, declared July 23, 2024, disaster 4804); Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (severe storm, declared April 10, 2023, disaster 4702). 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
New plants, warehouses, schools, and road projects in and around Hickory can put kitchens, break rooms, and food service on temporary power and temporary schedules. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project. Tell us about yours and we plan cold storage around it.
3. Major renovation
Picture a care facility in Hickory that replaces its kitchen. Residents still eat three meals a day, so a mobile kitchen with a walk-in cooler could carry the menu until the new kitchen is finished. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
Emergency response in Kentucky is coordinated by Kentucky Emergency Management, working with the emergency management office for Graves 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 Hickory, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
