Refrigeration Rental Options in Hico, TX
Hico is a smaller community in Hamilton County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Hico include food processors, nursing homes and care facilities, and grocery stores.
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 Hico, 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 Hico
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 10 federally declared major disasters that included Hamilton County, Texas. The most recent are Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (flood, declared July 6, 2025, disaster 4879); Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, And Flooding (flood, declared May 17, 2024, disaster 4781); Severe Winter Storms (severe ice storm, declared February 19, 2021, disaster 4586). 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. Source: OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries, checked November 2, 2026.
2. Major construction
Hamilton County covers about 836 square miles, and building sites spread across that area rarely have a finished kitchen or walk-in cooler on day one. A crew on a Hico job may need cold storage for lunches, medications, or deliveries before permanent power is in. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project.
3. Major renovation
Picture a food processor in Hico that upgrades its cold room. A refrigeration trailer could hold finished product while the production floor is down. 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 Hamilton 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 Hico, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
