KryoFridge is Galt's local source for walk-in freezer trailer rentals, staged close enough to reach the Highway 99 corridor and the Galt Market lot on Chabolla Avenue. That same fleet covers the farms and orchards running south from Elk Grove. We deliver a trailer already dialed in and holding temperature, set on a gravel yard behind a Highway 99 bakery or backed to a loading dock the same day it arrives. Call us now or request a free quote and we will confirm your delivery window before you hang up.
KryoFridge runs one of the largest refrigerated and freezer trailer fleets in the West, backed by more than 30 years in the event and equipment rental business. That experience shows up on the ground, past whatever the paperwork says. We know how to level a unit on the soft gravel behind the Galt Market on Chabolla Avenue and how to keep a condenser clear of dust on a dry Highway 99 lot in August. We also know how to run the drain line so a unit never sits in its own runoff after a hot day. Every trailer we send out is dual purpose, one adjustable box that runs as a cooler or drops to a hard freeze, backed by real insurance and a direct, owner-operated company. Call us now or request a free quote and we will get a trailer moving toward Galt the same day.
We keep units close enough to Galt that a same-day call does not turn into a long wait behind other jobs on the far side of the region.
Every unit swings from a cooler to a hard freeze, so you are not stuck guessing which one to book before you know exactly what the job needs.
A generator we bring, or a dedicated 120V 20 amp circuit within 100 feet. We plan the power question before a trailer ever leaves our yard.
McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Dutch Bros, Panda Express, Burger King, and Fresno State athletics have all leaned on this same fleet when their own cold storage came up short.
SAM.gov registered, licensed, and insured, which matters the moment a job touches a county contract or a bigger institutional account.
Our signature trailer covers most Galt jobs, but it sits inside a much larger fleet sized for whatever a harvest season or a festival weekend actually needs. An emergency call gets the same fleet behind it.
National brands do not take chances with refrigeration. They put our trailers behind their busiest locations because the equipment holds temperature and the company behind it answers the phone.

same-day swap"Our proofing oven line backed up on a Tuesday and the walk-in ran out of room fast. Trailer showed up before my shift ended. Held everything at temp overnight while we sorted the schedule out."
"I sell out of ice by ten most Wednesdays in July. Having a cold trailer parked at the edge of the lot means I stop losing product to the heat before noon."
"We are not close to town out here. A generator unit still made it to the farm the same afternoon we called, and it ran the whole week without a hiccup."
Our flagship trailer holds steady whether it's parked on the gravel off Highway 99 near the Central Galt Interchange or backed up to a dock at the Galt Market on a Wednesday morning. Freezer setting or cooler setting, it holds the line through a Central Valley summer.
The 16' Utility is the trailer our crews reach for when the job is serious. A 16-foot insulated box on a tandem axle holds anything from -10°F deep-freeze to 50°F fresh-cold on one precise digital set-point, with NSF-approved surfaces throughout. Rear double doors take pallet loads straight off a dock, and the side utility door lets a cook grab one tray without opening the whole box to the heat.
We own every one of these units, so the trailer that shows up is fueled, pre-cooled, and maintained in-house. It runs on a dedicated 120V, 20-amp circuit or a generator we supply, and it holds its number through triple-digit afternoons. When a walk-in dies or a harvest runs long, this is the box that carries the load.
| Spec | What you get |
|---|---|
| Temperature range | Roughly -10°F deep-freeze up to about 50°F fresh-cold |
| Mode | Dual-purpose: freezer or refrigerator on one precise digital set-point |
| Power | A dedicated 120V, 20-amp circuit within about 100 feet, or a generator we supply |
| Food safety | NSF-approved for direct food contact, food-safe surfaces, proper drainage |
| Footprints | 6x8, 6x12, and 6x16, from a tight retail lot to distribution scale |
| Backing | Owned in-house, fully licensed and insured, with 24/7 emergency dispatch |
Each unit holds a precise digital set-point and runs on a dedicated 120V/20A circuit or a generator. The trailers are not wired for 208 to 240V building service, so we confirm your hookup before the truck rolls.
We run nationwide freezer trailer rentals out of a fleet staged close enough to reach Galt fast, from the Chabolla Avenue market lot to the farms and orchards running out past Wilton and Herald.
Neighborhoods and towns we cover include Galt, Wilton, Herald, Elk Grove, Lodi, Thornton, Acampo, Woodbridge, Clarksburg, Hood, Courtland, Walnut Grove, Isleton, Locke, Lockeford, Victor, Clay, Arno, Sloughhouse, Rancho Murieta, Sheldon, Franklin.
From the busiest commercial corridors to the quietest side streets, these are the Galt area communities we serve every week.
The Galt Market and the Fall Harvest Festival both draw big outdoor crowds downtown, which means a real spike in vendor-side cold storage need on a handful of specific days rather than a steady year-round pull.
New retail and food tenants keep filling in along this stretch as Galt Ranch and the Central Galt Interchange develop, and a lot of that growth arrives before a tenant's own walk-in is even wired.
Working dairy and ranch ground east of town, where the nearest fixed cooler can be a real drive away and flood risk along the Cosumnes adds its own layer of urgency.
The dairy and orchard belt runs north through here before it reaches Galt, and Elk Grove's own retail growth keeps pulling food-service demand south along the same corridor.
Crush season here follows a tight, shared calendar of tank space and cooling unit capacity, and a grower or custom-crush client short on room needs backup fast, not next month.
Wetlands and flood-prone river-bottom ground south of town, home to wintering cranes plus a real history of levee trouble that puts nearby farms at genuine risk.
One call sizes the trailer, sets the delivery window, and locks your quote for Galt. Call now, or send the quick quote request and we will call you.
Three jobs come back again and again out here. A bakery or food plant along Highway 99 running short on cold space mid-shift. A harvest or crush season that grows past whatever cold storage a farm already owns. A nursery staging plant stock ahead of a spring or fall rush before the heat gets to it.

Produce and food stalls on Chabolla Avenue running past their two-day market rush get extra cold space delivered at the curb, then picked up once the Wednesday crowd clears out.

The 4th Street Promenade fills with carnival food and concession stands for the festival weekend, well past what any fixed stand was built to hold cold on its own.

A production run that grows past a plant's own cooler space, whether from a holiday order surge or a mechanical repair, gets a trailer parked on-site until the fix is done.

New restaurants and food tenants opening along the Highway 99 corridor before their own walk-in passes inspection lean on a temporary rental to bridge the gap.

Farms and dairy farms out past Wilton and Herald get a trailer delivered straight to the gate instead of hauling product into town for cooler space.
What ties these together is the clock. Nobody budgets a freezer trailer into next quarter. They reach for one the hour a compressor quits, or the evening before a party when the stack of rented ice chests suddenly looks laughably undersized. Since our units sit staged around Galt instead of a couple counties down the freeway, "can I get it today" is an ordinary ask here, not a stretch.
Add it up the way an owner in Galt has to. One restaurant walk-in routinely sits on a small fortune in proteins, dairy, and prepped product. Scale that to a grocery rack or a warehouse freezer bay and the exposure balloons. Now knock the power or the compressor out on a triple-digit afternoon, and that whole inventory is in jeopardy inside a few hours. Then stack on the sales you lose while the line sits dark and the wages you burn paying staff to triage what can still be saved.
Hold a pre-staged trailer up against that risk and it reads like cheap insurance, a fixed, predictable expense parked in front of a loss with no ceiling. That is exactly why the businesses that got stung once tape our number by the phone. There is never a second scramble, because the next time they dial before the product has a chance to warm. Owning every trailer ourselves means we can scale the answer to fit. A single compact box suits a corner cafe. A clustered setup covers a warehouse floor. Either turns around the same day.
Galt sits deep in Central Valley heat. July and August both average highs in the mid-90s, with a computed heat index around 100 degrees most of the summer. The thermometer has topped 102 more than once. That kind of heat turns a short cold-storage gap into a real loss fast. Food held even briefly above 41 degrees in that kind of ambient air does not recover. It gets thrown out.
Power reliability adds a second layer most of the state deals with now too. Utility-driven Public Safety Power Shutoffs have hit the wider San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley corridor more than once in 2026 already, cutting power to thousands of customers at a time during high-wind, dry conditions. The utility itself says a shutoff's length depends on the weather and whatever repairs follow, not a fixed schedule. A planned outage can still run into a second or third day.
Winters here are short and mild by comparison, but the region's flood risk cuts the other way. The Cosumnes River corridor just south of Galt has a real, repeating history of levee trouble, most recently a New Year's Eve 2022 breach that closed Highway 99 and flooded homes between Elk Grove and Wilton. A generator-powered trailer does not depend on the same grid or the same ground that just failed, whether the problem is a heat wave or a shutoff. The same goes for a flood.
Galt's food economy runs bigger than its population suggests. Spaans Cookie Co. has baked out of the same building on C Street since 1958. Family roots trace back to a baking apprenticeship in Holland in 1896, and the shop turns out more than a million cookies a day across fifty-plus varieties, plus retail bread and pastries. A bakery or food plant running at that kind of volume cannot afford even a few hours of lost cold storage during an oven-line backup or a compressor failure. A portable cold storage rental parked behind the building buys the extra hour a repair crew needs without a single tray going to waste.
The wider Highway 99 corridor through Galt is built for exactly this kind of tenant. The city markets more than 100 acres of industrial land plus another 40-plus acres of freeway-fronting retail ground near the new Central Galt Interchange. The roughly 45-acre Galt Ranch development going in next to the 461-home Simmerhorn Ranch subdivision is aimed at restaurants and food-service tenants specifically, because brokers call the local trade area underserved. A brand-new kitchen opening on that stretch does not always have its permanent walk-in wired and passed before its grand-opening date. A mobile refrigeration rental bridges that exact gap.
The Galt Market on Chabolla Avenue runs Tuesday and Wednesday mornings plus a monthly Saturday specialty market. Its food vendors serve Chinese and Mexican dishes alongside Vietnamese and American stalls, all sitting next to a produce row that answers to both the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the Sacramento County Health Department. A produce vendor or a hot-food stall that cannot hold 41 degrees through a seven-hour outdoor market day is looking at discarded inventory, not a warning. A rented cold storage trailer parked at the edge of the market lot keeps that inventory legal and cold without anyone rebuilding their whole setup for two days a week.
Summer complicates all of it. Galt's July afternoons regularly climb into the mid-90s, and utility-driven power shutoffs have already hit the wider San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley corridor more than once in 2026. A bakery or a food-processing tenant on Highway 99 running against that same 41-degree line does not get to wait out a multi-day outage. Neither does a market vendor. A generator-powered freezer trailer keeps product inside code while the power question sorts itself out.
Every KryoFridge unit is dual purpose, one adjustable box that runs as a refrigerator or drops down to a hard freeze depending on what a job actually needs that week. That flexibility covers a lot of ground around Galt: a produce vendor needing steady cold one week, a bakery needing a hard freeze the next.
Power comes down to two options, never a third to invent. A generator we provide and maintain, or a dedicated 120V, 20 amp circuit within 100 feet of where the trailer sits. We work out which one your site has, whether that is a Highway 99 loading dock or a gravel lot out past Wilton, before the trailer ever leaves our yard.
Backed by more than 30 years in the event and equipment rental business, we run one of the largest refrigerated and freezer fleets in the West as a direct, owner-operated company, never a broker passing your call along. See the full range of California cold storage trailer rentals we keep staged for jobs exactly like the ones Galt throws at us every season.
Galt's roots run through dairy as much as cookies. Farmers settled along Dry Creek near here around 1850 with cattle and dairy as the plan from day one. By 1916 the Sego Milk Plant tied more than a hundred local dairy farms together, processing 200,000 pounds of milk a day into condensed and evaporated milk, plus powdered product. That plant is long gone, but the belt it fed is not. Roughly a dozen dairy farms still work the ground running from Elk Grove down through Galt and out toward Herald and Wilton, and the Sacramento County Farm Bureau still exists specifically to serve them.
Walnut orchards have worked the Sacramento River corridor since the 1960s, and Galt-area growers sit inside the same belt that grows pear and prune crops, along with almonds, across the wider Sacramento Valley. Harvest timing on those crops follows growing-degree-hour math more than a fixed date on a calendar. A warm early bloom, the kind University of California advisors flagged heading into the 2026 season, pulls the whole harvest window in earlier and tighter than growers planned for. A refrigerated cold storage rental staged nearby buys a packer or a shelling plant room to breathe when fruit sizes up faster than the line can move it.
The Lodi wine district sits close enough to Galt that its crush calendar counts as local demand too. District 11 crushed just over 532,000 tons in the final 2025 numbers, down from roughly 590,000 tons the year before, and the Woodbridge complex alone runs around 350 tanks built to hold 50 million gallons combined. A down tonnage year does not mean less pressure on cold storage. A cooler growing season pushes fruit in later and slower, stacking tank demand and cooling unit capacity into the same few weeks instead of spreading it out. Tulare freezer trailer rentals cover the same kind of seasonal squeeze farther south in the Valley, and our Galt-area fleet answers the same call here.
None of this sits safe from the region's flood risk either. A Cosumnes River levee near Dillard Road failed on New Year's Eve 2022, closing Highway 99 and flooding homes and farmland between Elk Grove and Galt, with damage reaching into Wilton too. It was not the first time. A 1997 break on the same river forced 15,000 people out. A dairy or a harvest operation caught behind a levee break or an extended outage needs somewhere to hold product cold that does not depend on the same grid or the same ground that just failed. An emergency freezer trailer rental answers that call the same way it answers a dead compressor.
Galt carries a real wholesale nursery trade alongside its orchard history. Western Star Nurseries has run its yard at 9394 Robson Road since 1996, supplying landscape crews and retail nurseries with ornamental trees and shrubs. The company markets orders reaching customers across Northern California within 24 hours. Fredriks Nursery, working out of Galt since 1986, produces annuals and perennials, plus vegetable starts, across sizes from 48-count flats up to premium hanging baskets. Both businesses run on a promise of fast, fresh delivery, and that promise only holds up if the stock staged for the next truck run does not wilt overnight.
A flat of bedding plants or a load of cut stock loses ready to sell quality fast once it sits a few hours past its window in Central Valley summer heat, and none of it tolerates the kind of outdoor wait a pallet of lumber shrugs off. A walk-in freezer trailer rental set to a cool holding temperature, not a hard freeze, gives a grower a place to stage plant material between the field and the truck without losing a day's cut to the heat.
Spring and fall planting season is when this hits hardest. Order volume from landscape crews and retail nurseries across the Sacramento-Stockton corridor climbs well past what a shop's built-in cooler space was ever sized for. A grower who cannot hold enough stock cold enough, long enough, turns away orders at the exact time of year business should be climbing. A portable freezer trailer rental scales that cooler space up for the weeks it is actually needed instead of the whole year.
The same orchard and dairy ground that feeds Galt's harvest season also grows the ornamental stock its nurseries depend on. A grower moving both cut flowers and produce through one yard needs cold storage that adjusts between the two. We size that out before a trailer ever leaves the yard.
"Cold" is not one number. Different product stays safe inside different temperature windows, which is the entire reason a precise digital set-point matters, and in the middle of a heat wave in Galt, a load that slips out of its window is a load you write off. Use the chart below as the reference our customers lean on when they size a rental.
| Product | Target holding band | Trailer mode |
|---|---|---|
| Ice cream and frozen desserts | -10°F to 0°F | Deep freeze |
| Frozen proteins, seafood, prepared meals | 0°F or below | Freezer |
| Fresh meat and poultry (short hold) | 28°F to 32°F | Refrigerated |
| Dairy, deli, packaged produce | 34°F to 38°F | Refrigerated |
| Beverages, florals, catering trays | 38°F to 45°F | Refrigerated |
One figure outranks everything in that chart, and it is not listed there: 40°F. Food-safety guidance treats the band between 40°F and 140°F as the zone where bacteria thrive, and the clock on perishable product starts ticking the moment it crosses 40 on the way up. Roughly four cumulative hours above that line and most refrigerated inventory is no longer safe to serve. Picture that countdown running on a 100-degree afternoon in Galt with the walk-in dark, and the urgency of a quick trailer drop stops being abstract.
Tell us the single coldest item you are holding when you call, and we dial the trailer to that. One unit carries a straight freezer load with no fuss. But when your list mixes deep-freeze desserts with fresh-cold produce for the same remodel or event, we will usually point you toward a split setup or a second box so neither side of the load has to settle for the wrong temperature.
Powering one of our trailers is refreshingly simple, and there are precisely two ways to do it. Either you have a dedicated 120-volt, 20-amp circuit reachable within roughly 100 feet of the parking spot, or we bring a generator. What the units will not accept is standard 208 to 240V building service, so a quick question about your outlet before dispatch heads off any surprise on delivery day.
On placement, all the unit really asks for is a fairly flat patch with enough room for the delivery truck to maneuver it in and set it straight, plus either a power source in reach or space for a generator. We lock down the exact drop point before dispatch, and our drivers know the Galt layout cold, so the delivery is one clean trip instead of a guessing game on the property.
A produce vendor working the Wednesday market sold through his ice-packed coolers by late morning during a July heat spike. We had a trailer parked at the edge of the lot before the market closed at two, and he finished the day without turning away a single order.
A production line on the Highway 99 corridor lost a compressor overnight ahead of a Monday delivery deadline. Our driver had a generator-powered trailer on-site before the morning shift clocked in, and the week's orders shipped on time.
Heavy winter rain put a levee stretch near Wilton at risk and cut power to a stretch of farms while crews watched the water. The dairy there needed somewhere cold to hold product until the grid and the levee both held, and a generator-powered unit did the job until the danger passed.
Staged close to the Highway 99 corridor. Our fleet sits near enough to Galt that a same-day call does not mean waiting on a trailer crossing three counties. We know the Chabolla Avenue market lot and the C Street loading docks before we ever get the address. The same goes for the gravel yards out past Wilton.
On a bad day, booking should be the part that does not add stress. Four steps, an upfront number, and a single person who owns the whole thing.
Tell us whether it is freezer or fridge product, a ballpark volume, and your rough window. That is enough for us to call the right size.
We pair you with a unit, confirm whether you have a dedicated circuit or need a generator, and pin the exact drop point so the truck makes one trip.
We arrive on your schedule, about 45 minutes for a true emergency, set the trailer, energize it, and let it drive down to your number.
It holds the set-point for your entire term while our line stays live the whole way through. Wrap up, and we swing back for the pickup.
California's Retail Food Code sets the line every kitchen and market stall in Galt already answers to, cold case included. Potentially hazardous food has to stay at 41 degrees or below, checked roughly every four hours with a calibrated thermometer. Anything found above that line at a check gets thrown out rather than put back in the cooler. Cooling follows its own clock too: 135 degrees down to 70 within two hours, then 70 down to 41 within four more. We build every trailer to hold that line, not get close to it.
The Galt Market's own produce and food vendors answer to both the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the Sacramento County Health Department on that exact standard, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings plus the monthly Saturday market. A rental brought onto that lot needs to be ready for that inspection the same way a fixed kitchen is, not simply cold to the touch.
Santa Clarita cold storage trailer rentals answer to the same statewide code, and so does every KryoFridge unit anywhere in California. That is why a Galt bakery and a Lodi grower get the same standard as a Highway 99 restaurant, whether the job is routine or an emergency call at midnight.
One caveat we always state plainly: we supply the food-safe, temperature-holding hardware itself, but we are not a temperature-logging or alarm-monitoring service. If your program requires continuous written records, line that vendor up on your own.
Our signature 16 foot Utility series leads the fleet. It is the trailer we send on most jobs, and crews like it for the side utility access door. We build three footprints in all, so a single kitchen holding overflow stock has a fit and so does a distribution floor in a disaster. Every unit is dual purpose by design: one adjustable system swings between freezer and refrigerator on a digital set point. Each trailer runs on a dedicated circuit or on a generator.
| Trailer | Best for | Temp range |
|---|---|---|
| 6x16 Utility ⭐ | Our signature series: distribution, large events, disaster response, side utility door | Heavy-duty reefer |
| 6x12 | Grocers, caterers, mid-size events | Deep-freeze capable |
| 6x8 | Tight lots, small kitchens, short overflow | -10°F to 50°F |
Each unit holds a precise digital set-point and runs on a dedicated 120V/20A circuit or a generator.
Think eight or so pallet spots, and the unit to grab when square footage is the whole problem. It slips into the pinched service yards and cramped back-of-house corners that a larger box cannot even swing into. One cafe or small-market walk-in goes down, and this is almost always enough cold to cover it, plus the simplest unit to set in a small space.
Call it fourteen pallet spots, deep-freeze rated, and far and away the size people ask for most. It lands right in the middle: roomy enough for a multi-day catering job or a restaurant that needs true walk-in-equivalent room while the kitchen is torn up. Roomy enough that nobody is playing Tetris with shelves, yet still small enough to set in most commercial back lots without a site survey.
Roughly twenty pallet spots paired with a heavy-duty reefer plant engineered to keep deep-freeze locked in even when the ambient air is merciless. Reach for it when a warehouse bay drops, when a large festival needs an anchor, or when a relief operation is carrying its own cold chain.
Not sure which size fits? Most customers land on the 16 foot Utility, and we will tell you honestly if a smaller footprint covers your job. Tell us roughly what you are storing and for how long, and we will spec it for you.
The questions that surface once the basics are settled. Tap any topic to open it.
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 tank space ran tight two years running. A rented cold unit on the yard bought us the extra week we needed both times."
"Spring orders came in faster than our cooler could hold flats. One call, and we had extra cold space by the next morning."
"Compressor died on a Sunday. Nobody answers on a Sunday. They did. Had us covered before the Monday delivery even showed up."
"Ran a dessert booth two years running at the festival. Both times we needed backup freezer space by Saturday afternoon, and both times we got it fast."
"A livestock move needed cold storage on short notice out past Herald. They treated a rural call like a normal Tuesday, not an inconvenience."
"New building, no walk-in installed yet, health inspection two weeks out. The rental bridged that whole gap without one bad shift."
"We needed a cooler and a freezer running at the same time during a remodel. They sent two units instead of arguing about it."
"Booked a unit for a weekend banquet job with more cold prep than our kitchen could hold. Showed up early, ran quiet, picked up on time."
"We run a big production schedule and cannot afford downtime. When our line backed up during a holiday order surge, a trailer was on our lot within hours holding everything at temp."
There are only two ways to power a unit: a generator we provide, or a dedicated 120V 20 amp circuit within 100 feet of where the trailer sits. A lot of Galt Market vendors and rural Wilton-area sites go the generator route since there is no outlet nearby. A Highway 99 restaurant or food plant usually already has the circuit. We figure out which one your site has before the trailer leaves our yard.
Yes. Every trailer holds its temperature and recovers quickly even with regular door traffic during a busy market or festival morning. The unit is dual purpose, meaning it runs as a cooler or drops to a hard freeze depending on what the job calls for, and either setting holds steady through normal in-and-out use.
Yes, sizing comes down to pallet count and door traffic more than square footage alone. A produce vendor moving flats in and out all morning needs different ramp and door access than a dairy topping off one tank a day. Tell us your volume and how often the doors open, and we will match the unit to that.
Yes, our units can be set up with a ramp for pallet and hand-truck loading, plus shelving or racking inside for smaller cases and boxes. Tell us what you are loading, whether that is bins of grapes or cases of cookies, and we will set the inside up to match before delivery. The same goes for flats of plants.
One box holds one setting at a time, cooler or hard freeze, not both together. If a Galt kitchen or food plant needs both running during a remodel or a busy stretch, we send two units and size that out with you ahead of delivery so nothing gets crowded on-site.
Book as early as you can once you know your dates, especially heading into Lodi crush season or the Fall Harvest Festival, since those weeks pull the heaviest demand across the whole region. Spring nursery orders run just as tight. A same-day call still gets a real response, but a reserved date guarantees the unit is already staged close to your site.
From the moment it is parked. Every unit holds 41 degrees or below, the same standard the Sacramento County Health Department and the California Department of Food and Agriculture check for at the Galt Market or any restaurant. We keep units clean between rentals so nothing about an inspection is a surprise.
As long as the job needs. Some rentals run a single weekend for a market or a festival. Others run the full eight to ten weeks of Lodi crush season, or however long a kitchen remodel or a new Highway 99 build-out actually takes. We set the term around your job, not a fixed calendar.
Fast. We stage units close enough to Galt and the Cosumnes River corridor that a power outage or a PSPS shutoff does not mean a long wait. A flood-related evacuation gets the same response. Farms and dairy farms out past Wilton and Herald get the same dispatch a Highway 99 restaurant does.
Yes. We deliver onto gravel and packed dirt farm ground all over the Galt area, from the Galt Market lot to ranch roads out past Herald. We just need a level enough spot for the trailer to sit and the truck to turn around.
Usually yes, if you are running frozen desserts or extra meat and dairy past what your booth's small cooler holds. A shared trailer at the edge of the festival grounds gives several vendors backup room without each one hauling in a separate unit.
A generator-powered trailer keeps holding 41 degrees or below regardless of what the grid is doing, which matters most exactly when a PSPS event or a levee-related outage runs into a second or third day. We plan those calls the same way we plan any emergency dispatch, fast, without waiting for the power to come back first.
Here is the rest of the fleet we keep staged for jobs across California.
Sizing a rental for a market or festival booth in Galt comes down to a short list of questions, and most vendors only work through them after something has already gone wrong. Start with volume. How much product needs to stay cold at the busiest single hour of the day, not the average hour. A produce stand on Chabolla Avenue moving flats of stone fruit all Wednesday morning has a very different peak than a Saturday specialty vendor selling baked goods once a month.
Next, count the door swings. A booth with constant foot traffic and a cooler door opening every few minutes needs a unit built to recover fast, past simply holding a steady number overnight. The Galt Market's produce row runs seven hours straight, seven a.m. to two p.m., and that kind of sustained traffic is a different sizing question than a single festival evening.
Crush season around Lodi follows a tight, shared calendar, and a grower or small custom-crush client renting cold storage for the first time usually does not know which questions matter until tank space runs short. Here is the short list worth asking any vendor, including us, before you commit.
Ask how the temperature actually holds, past what the unit is rated for on paper. A trailer that claims to hit a cold range on paper but drifts once the door opens repeatedly during a busy crush day is not the same as one built to recover fast under real use. Ask for the honest answer, not the marketing one.
Galt's calendar has a few stretches that matter more than others for planning a cold storage rental, and timing a booking around them beats scrambling once the need is already urgent.
July and August are the hottest window, with average highs in the mid-90s and a heat index that regularly adds up near 100 degrees. That stretch lines up almost exactly with the Lodi crush ramp-up and the Galt Market's busiest produce weeks. The run-up to the Fall Harvest Festival lands in the same window. A lot of demand stacks into the same six to eight weeks every year.
Every growing food business along the Highway 99 corridor in Galt eventually hits the same question: keep renting cold storage as the need comes up, or spend the money on a second permanent walk-in. There is not one right answer, but there is a clear way to think through it.
Start with how often the need actually shows up. A kitchen that only needs extra cold space once or twice a year, during a holiday order surge or an occasional mechanical repair, is paying for a lot of unused capacity if it builds a permanent structure sized for that rare peak.
Nobody wants a surprise on a rental bill, and the real cost drivers for a Galt-area cold storage rental are simple and predictable once you know them.
Duration is the biggest factor. A single weekend for the Galt Market or a festival booth is a different commitment than the full eight to ten weeks of Lodi crush season, and a rental that stretches longer costs more in total, though not necessarily at a higher rate per day.
