Refrigeration Rental Options in Lumberton, NC
Lumberton is a community of about 18,900 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) in Robeson County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage. Typical customers in Lumberton include grocery stores, nursing homes and care facilities, and warehouses and distribution centers.
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 Lumberton, 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 Lumberton
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 13 federally declared major disasters that included Robeson County, North Carolina. The most recent are Tropical Storm Eta (severe storm, declared March 3, 2021, disaster 4588); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 25, 2020, disaster 4487); Hurricane Dorian (hurricane, declared October 4, 2019, disaster 4465). 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. Source: OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries, checked November 2, 2026.
2. Major construction
Robeson County covers about 947 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 Lumberton 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 Lumberton 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
Emergency response in North Carolina is coordinated by North Carolina Emergency Management, working with the emergency management office for Robeson 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 Lumberton, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
