Cold Storage Planning in New Bern
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 16 federally declared major disasters that included Craven County, North Carolina. The most recent are Hurricane Isaias (hurricane, declared October 14, 2020, disaster 4568); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 25, 2020, disaster 4487); Hurricane Dorian (hurricane, declared October 4, 2019, disaster 4465).

2. Major construction
Large projects in North Carolina tend to run on temporary power and shifting schedules, and New Bern is no exception. Rented refrigeration can follow the schedule when a permanent cooler cannot. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a hospital in New Bern that rebuilds its food-service area. A refrigerated container and a dishwashing trailer could keep patient meals moving through the construction. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
If a storm or outage closes roads near New Bern, check with North Carolina Emergency Management and the emergency management office for Craven County 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 New Bern 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.
