Refrigeration Rental Options in Galveston, TX
Galveston has about 53,500 residents (Census Bureau 2024 estimate) and the hospitals, schools, grocers, and food businesses that come with a regional hub, any of which can lose cold storage without warning. Typical customers in Galveston include hotels and event venues, restaurants and caterers, and grocery stores.
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 Galveston, 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 Galveston
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 20 federally declared major disasters that included Galveston County, Texas. The most recent are Hurricane Beryl (hurricane, declared July 9, 2024, disaster 4798); Severe Winter Storms (severe ice storm, declared February 19, 2021, disaster 4586); Hurricane Laura (hurricane, declared December 9, 2020, disaster 4572). 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 Texas tend to run on temporary power and shifting schedules, and Galveston 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 Galveston 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 Texas is coordinated by the Texas Division of Emergency Management, working with the emergency management office for Galveston 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 Galveston, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
