Refrigeration Rental Options in Sour Lake, TX
Sour Lake is a smaller community in Hardin County, where one cooler failure can leave a grocery, school cafeteria, or restaurant without cold storage and no nearby backup. Typical customers in Sour Lake include food processors, restaurants and caterers, and grocery stores.
Two products cover most Sour Lake calls. A refrigeration trailer is the quick answer: a walk-in cooler or freezer that arrives on wheels and plugs in. Our 20-foot units are listed at 15°F and -5°F, which are listed points rather than guarantees for every load. A refrigerated container suits storage that stays for weeks, in 20, 24, or 40 foot lengths.
Before delivery to Sour Lake, 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 Sour Lake
1. Past emergencies and recovery needs
FEMA lists 21 federally declared major disasters that included Hardin County, Texas. The most recent are Hurricane Beryl (hurricane, declared July 9, 2024, disaster 4798); 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.

2. Major construction
Large projects in Texas tend to run on temporary power and shifting schedules, and Sour Lake 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 food processor in Sour Lake 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 Hardin 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 Sour Lake, the setup, and your rental length to give a firm quote. See the price list or request a quote.
