Cold Storage Planning in St. Stephens
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 10 federally declared major disasters that included Catawba County, North Carolina. The most recent are Tropical Storm Helene (tropical storm, declared September 28, 2024, disaster 4827); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 25, 2020, disaster 4487); Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides (flood, declared October 29, 2013, disaster 4153). 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
Large projects in North Carolina tend to run on temporary power and shifting schedules, and St. Stephens 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 care facility in St. Stephens 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 North Carolina is coordinated by North Carolina Emergency Management, working with the emergency management office for Catawba 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 St. Stephens, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
