Refrigeration Rental Options in Empire, LA
Empire is a smaller community in Plaquemines Parish, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Empire include food distributors, warehouses and distribution centers, and hotels and event venues.
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 Empire, 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 Empire
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 26 federally declared major disasters that included Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The most recent are Hurricane Francine (hurricane, declared September 16, 2024, disaster 4817); Hurricane Ida (hurricane, declared August 29, 2021, disaster 4611); Severe Winter Storms (severe ice storm, declared March 9, 2021, disaster 4590). 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 Empire and Gretna, about 42 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 distributor in Empire that retrofits a dock. Refrigerated containers could hold inbound loads so deliveries are not turned away. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
If a storm or outage closes roads near Empire, check with the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness and the emergency management office for Plaquemines Parish 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 Empire 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.
