Refrigeration Rental Options in Lakeland, TN
Lakeland is a community of about 14,400 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) in Shelby County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage. Typical customers in Lakeland include grocery stores, warehouses and distribution centers, and nursing homes and care facilities.
Refrigerated container rentals fit long projects that need a lot of cold space for weeks or months, and come in 20, 24, and 40 foot lengths. Refrigeration trailers roll in, level out, and plug in as walk-in coolers or freezers. Our 20-foot units are listed at 15°F for coolers and -5°F for freezers; those are the equipment’s listed points, not a promise for every load or weather condition.
For a Lakeland site, plan a level area, a clear route for a tow vehicle, and 220V single-phase power (40 to 60 amps for our 20-foot units). If power is limited, a container with a generator set may be the answer. We confirm placement and power before delivery.

Cold Storage Planning in Lakeland
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 23 federally declared major disasters that included Shelby County, Tennessee. The most recent are Severe Winter Storm (winter storm, declared February 6, 2026, disaster 4898); Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, And Flooding (severe storm, declared June 19, 2025, disaster 4878); Severe Storms And Straight-Line Winds (severe storm, declared September 4, 2023, disaster 4735). 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 Tennessee tend to run on temporary power and shifting schedules, and Lakeland 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 grocery store in Lakeland 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
For a Lakeland emergency, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency coordinates at the state level and the emergency management office for Shelby County at the local level. Our deliveries are our own: we plan the route, the gate, and the power with you, and we do not claim any official staging route.
5. Local rental costs
A rental here begins at $995 per month for a refrigerated container or walk-in trailer. Mobile kitchens and dishwashing trailers begin at $4,995 per month. Distance to Lakeland, power, temperature, and term decide the quote we confirm before anything ships. See the price list or request a quote.
