Refrigeration Rental Options in Franklin, LA
Franklin is a community of about 6,280 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) in St. Mary Parish, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage. Typical customers in Franklin include grocery stores, hotels and event venues, and food processors.
Two products cover most Franklin calls. A refrigeration trailer is the quick answer: a walk-in cooler or freezer that arrives on wheels and plugs in. Our 20-foot units are listed at 15°F and -5°F, which are listed points rather than guarantees for every load. A refrigerated container suits storage that stays for weeks, in 20, 24, or 40 foot lengths.
For a Franklin site, plan a level area, a clear route for a tow vehicle, and 220V single-phase power (40 to 60 amps for our 20-foot units). If power is limited, a container with a generator set may be the answer. We confirm placement and power before delivery.

Cold Storage Planning in Franklin
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 27 federally declared major disasters that included St. Mary 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
St. Mary Parish covers about 559 square miles, and building sites spread across that area rarely have a finished kitchen or walk-in cooler on day one. A crew on a Franklin job may need cold storage for lunches, medications, or deliveries before permanent power is in. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a grocery store in Franklin that remodels its cooler wall. Refrigeration trailers parked behind the store could hold dairy and produce for the weeks the cases are out of service. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
For a Franklin emergency, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness coordinates at the state level and the emergency management office for St. Mary Parish at the local level. Our deliveries are our own: we plan the route, the gate, and the power with you, and we do not claim any official staging route.
5. Local rental costs
A rental here begins at $995 per month for a refrigerated container or walk-in trailer. Mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers begin at $4,995 per month. Distance to Franklin, power, temperature, and term decide the quote we confirm before anything ships. See the price list or request a quote.
