Cold Storage Planning in Pickens
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 9 federally declared major disasters that included Pickens County, South Carolina. The most recent are Severe Winter Storm (winter storm, declared April 7, 2026, disaster 4908); Hurricane Helene (hurricane, declared September 29, 2024, disaster 4829); Hurricane Ian (hurricane, declared November 21, 2022, disaster 4677). 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
With 245 restaurants and drinking places in Pickens County, new construction here often ends in a kitchen or cold room that must open on a fixed date. If the walk-in is late, rented cold storage keeps the opening on schedule. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a restaurant in Pickens 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
If a storm or outage closes roads near Pickens, check with the South Carolina Emergency Management Division and the emergency management office for Pickens 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 Pickens 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.
