Refrigeration Rental Options in Unicoi, TN
Unicoi is a smaller community in Unicoi County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Unicoi include hotels and event venues, restaurants and caterers, 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.
Before delivery to Unicoi, 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 Unicoi
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 12 federally declared major disasters that included Unicoi County, Tennessee. The most recent are Severe Winter Storm (winter storm, declared February 6, 2026, disaster 4898); Tropical Storm Helene (tropical storm, declared October 2, 2024, disaster 4832); Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (severe storm, declared April 24, 2020, disaster 4541). 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 Unicoi 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 hotel in Unicoi that renovates its banquet kitchen before a busy season. A mobile kitchen and a refrigerated container could keep breakfast and events running through the work. This is a scenario, not a past job.
4. Emergency equipment access
Emergency response in Tennessee is coordinated by the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, working with the emergency management office for Unicoi 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 Unicoi, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
