Refrigeration Rental Options in Smiley, TX
Smiley is a smaller community in Gonzales County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Smiley include food processors, nursing homes and care facilities, and hotels and event venues.
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 Smiley, 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 Smiley
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 15 federally declared major disasters that included Gonzales County, Texas. The most recent are 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); Covid-19 Pandemic (biological, declared March 25, 2020, disaster 4485). 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
New plants, warehouses, schools, and road projects in and around Smiley can put kitchens, break rooms, and food service on temporary power and temporary schedules. This is an example of the need, not a statement that we serve a particular project. Tell us about yours and we plan cold storage around it.
3. Major renovation
Picture a food processor in Smiley 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
If a storm or outage closes roads near Smiley, check with the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the emergency management office for Gonzales 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 Smiley 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.
