Refrigeration Rental Options in North Charleston, SC
North Charleston is one of South Carolina's larger communities, with about 126,000 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate), so its hospitals, distribution centers, restaurants, and event venues use more cold storage than any one building holds. Typical customers in North Charleston include restaurants and caterers, grocery stores, and food distributors.
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 North Charleston, 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 North Charleston
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 12 federally declared major disasters that included Charleston County, South Carolina. The most recent are Hurricane Ian (hurricane, declared November 21, 2022, disaster 4677); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 27, 2020, disaster 4492); Hurricane Dorian (hurricane, declared September 30, 2019, disaster 4464). 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
New plants, warehouses, schools, and road projects in and around North Charleston can put kitchens, break rooms, and food service on temporary power and temporary schedules. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project. Tell us about yours and we plan cold storage around it.
3. Major renovation
Picture a restaurant in North Charleston that closes its kitchen for a rebuild. A mobile kitchen, a dishwashing trailer, and a refrigerated container at the back door could keep the doors open while the permanent kitchen is gutted and rebuilt. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
Emergency response in South Carolina is coordinated by the South Carolina Emergency Management Division, working with the emergency management office for Charleston 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 North Charleston, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
