Refrigerated Temporary Cold Storage & Freezer Trailer Rentals in Antioch

The pop-up walk-in cooler. Cheap to rent and easy to set up, but it chills, it does not freeze, and it draws every watt it needs from your building while depending on a calm ambient temperature around it. The second your building loses power, your cooler loses it too.

The refrigerated box truck. Designed to haul product on the interstate, not to sit in a lot and babysit it. Parked, it idles fuel all day, broadcasts compressor noise across a storefront or an event lawn, and pins down a tractor plus a driver you probably do not need.

The freezer trailer we deliver. Built from the ground up to be dropped on a pad and to defend a temperature for as long as the job runs. It freezes deep, carries NSF approval, locks, stays quiet near guests, and lives on nothing more than one dedicated circuit or a generator.

Even a rented box has to satisfy the county environmental health office that licenses and inspects every food facility. Show an inspector a unit that cannot document its temperature or was not built for food contact, and they have the authority to halt service immediately.

That is a bar each of our trailers clears: NSF-approved throughout, food-safe interior surfaces, proper drainage, and a digital controller that puts the set-point in plain view. We supply the food-safe, temperature-holding hardware itself, but we are not a temperature-logging or alarm-monitoring service.

For a typical kitchen or market, one box does the job. Distribution floors, big fairs, and full-scale disaster response routinely need more, and because the fleet is ours, we can cluster several units and bring them online in waves as the work expands. Match the cold capacity to the operation rather than make the operation squeeze itself into one box.

The clock is yours to set. Some jobs are a handful of days for an emergency or a single event. Others stretch across weeks or months for a remodel or a seasonal swell, and a few become standing contracts for businesses that want capacity parked on standby. Name your window and you will get a clean quote, no penalty for an honest "not sure yet."

Building permanent cold storage is a capital project in every sense: you hire a refrigeration contractor, schedule the electrical, pull a building permit, and wait weeks before a single pallet goes inside. A rental turns that equation on its head. You bring in precisely the cold you need, for precisely the stretch you need it, and the trailer is holding temperature that same week, frequently that same day, with the commitment ending the moment your need is over.

Three engineered elements carry the load. Thick insulated panels and tightly gasketed doors lock the sun outside and the cold inside. A self-contained reefer condensing system specified with surplus capacity keeps stripping heat out of the box even when the air outside is brutal. And a digital thermostat locks onto your chosen number and cycles the compressor to hold the line. Run those three together and a trailer baking on open asphalt behaves like one tucked in a cool warehouse. That is also why power is the first thing we ask about: the design delivers its safety margin only on steady, uninterrupted power.

Our dispatch team runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we keep units staged for East Contra Costa County. Emergency calls in Antioch are usually a same day delivery, and our fastest documented emergency response put a trailer on a restaurant site within 34 minutes of the phone call. Call us with your address and we will give you a real window rather than a guess.

Every KryoFridge trailer is dual purpose, which means one unit works as either a refrigerator or a freezer. Set points run from about minus 10 degrees up to 50 degrees on a digital control at the box. That covers frozen product, standard cooler duty at or below the 41 degree threshold in the California Retail Food Code, and produce that wants to sit warmer. You do not have to guess which unit you need before you call.

There are exactly two ways. Either we bring a generator, or you provide a dedicated 120 volt, 20 amp circuit within 100 feet of where the trailer will sit. That is it. No 240 volt service, no panel upgrade, no electrician visit. Tell us which one you have when you call and we will arrive set up for it.

Yes. We run three trailer sizes so the box matches the job. A single restaurant walk in outage is a very different volume than a supermarket rack cutover or a county fair vendor row. Because we own the fleet rather than brokering somebody else's, adding a second or third unit to a job is a dispatch decision on our end instead of another set of phone calls.

Both, with different planning. Contra Costa Event Park at 1201 West 10th Street has open, firm ground and plenty of room, so a large unit and a generator drop in easily. Waldie Plaza and the Rivertown blocks are tighter, with narrow streets and angled parking, so we scout the approach and usually place a smaller unit where it keeps the vendor row and sidewalks clear. Send us the site plan and load in time.

Community events such as fairs and festivals need a temporary food health permit, and the department generally requires mechanical refrigeration at a temporary food facility. Ice chests may be accepted for certain foods that can be fully immersed in ice, but that call is made by the local environmental health agency rather than assumed. The application packet and requirements come from Contra Costa Environmental Health at 925-608-5500. A refrigerated trailer is mechanical refrigeration, which is why event producers use one to cover a whole vendor row.

No. Our trailers have digital set point control at the unit so you can see and adjust the temperature, but we do not sell a remote monitoring service, logged temperature records or a high temperature alarm service. If your insurer or your corporate program requires documented logging, plan on your own monitoring equipment inside the box. We will tell you that up front rather than after you sign.

As long as the job takes. Emergency swaps are often a few days while a compressor gets replaced. Kitchen and walk in remodels usually run two to six weeks. Grocery rack cutovers run three to six weeks. Harvest placements in Brentwood typically cover the six to eight week picking window, and construction and new store openings are usually two to four weeks. Tell us your date range and we will hold the unit for it.

Yes. State Route 4 is our main corridor and we run it constantly, so Pittsburg, Bay Point, Oakley, Brentwood, Knightsen, Discovery Bay, Concord, Martinez and Pleasant Hill are all regular stops. We also cross the Antioch Bridge on State Route 160 for Delta venues. Beyond this region we serve all fifty states, with same day and emergency dispatch across our core Western markets.

We are a direct owner operated company, not a broker or a reseller, so the trailer that arrives is ours and the person who answers the phone can commit to it. Our family has been in the equipment rental business for more than thirty years, we run one of the largest freezer trailer fleets in the region, every unit is licensed, insured and NSF certified, and our network has completed over 12,000 successful trailer deliveries. Call us and you will hear the difference in the first two minutes.
