Deluxe Cold Storage Trailer Rentals for Vacaville
A walk-in quits on a 105-degree Vacaville afternoon, mid rush, with a full book. KryoFridge rolls a mobile cold-storage trailer to your door and has it holding product safe, as a cooler or a freezer, before the kitchen has to stop. Same-day dispatch, and someone answers the phone at 2 a.m., across Vacaville and all of Solano County.
Years Keeping Vacaville's Kitchens and Cold Rooms Running
KryoFridge is the refrigeration and freezer side of a rental family with more than 30 years in the event and equipment business. We have served Vacaville kitchens, grocers, and the Vaca Valley Parkway campuses through heat waves and outages, and we run one of the largest refrigerated fleets in the West. So we are not sold out on the hottest day. Every unit is dual-purpose, one dial from about +50 degrees down to -10 degrees, and we own and dispatch them ourselves as a direct company, not a reseller or a broker. We are licensed, insured, and NSF approved, and national brands like McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and Dutch Bros Coffee trust us with their cold storage. Same-day and 24/7 emergency dispatch covers California, Nevada, and Utah.
The biggest fleet in the region
We run one of the largest cold-storage fleets in the West, more units than any competitor in our markets. So when a 105-degree week lights up every phone in Solano County, we still have a trailer for you.
One dial, cooler or freezer
Every KryoFridge unit is dual-purpose, one dial from about +50 degrees down to -10 degrees. Holding refrigerated product today and frozen product next week takes one call, not two.
You reach the owners
We own the trailers and dispatch them ourselves, a direct company, not a reseller or a broker. When you call Vacaville, you get the people responsible for the unit.
Thirty years of rental behind us
KryoFridge is the cold-storage arm of a rental family with more than 30 years in the event and equipment business. This is not our first Vacaville heat wave.
Someone answers at 2 a.m.
Same-day and 24/7 emergency dispatch covers California, Nevada, and Utah, with local delivery in about 45 minutes. A walk-in does not fail on a schedule, so neither do we.
Trusted by national brands
We are licensed, insured, and NSF approved, and names like McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and Dutch Bros Coffee trust us. The same trailers show up for a downtown kitchen off Main Street.
A true Vacaville hub, not a call center. Running as a Vacaville hub puts the whole town inside a short response window. Interstate 80 and Interstate 505 keep downtown Main Street, the Nut Tree and Premium Outlets district, the Vaca Valley Parkway campuses, Leisure Town, and the English Hills edges minutes apart. It reaches Fairfield, Dixon, and Winters quickly from the same base. When you call, the trailer does not come from far away. It comes from a company that already knows the streets, the loading docks, and the power situations of this exact market.
The Cold-Storage Name America's Biggest Brands Keep on Speed Dial
National chains do not gamble on refrigeration. A drifting set-point during dinner rush can cost a brand a day of sales and a health-code headache, so the chains that scale fast vet a cold-storage partner the same careful way they vet a protein supplier. KryoFridge has held temperature for names like McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and Dutch Bros, and earned the repeat call.
The stories behind that trust are the kind every restaurant owner recognizes. One Friday at 6:30 in the evening, the worst possible hour, a Chick-fil-A called with a dead walk-in and a drive-through line wrapped around the building. We prepped a trailer, dispatched it, and had it on their pad pulling temperature 34 minutes after the phone rang. The manager's first words when the driver pulled in were, "I cannot believe you are already here." That is the bar we hold ourselves to. Another year, an overnight outage shorted a cooler on the morning of a holiday rush, and our team staged three freezer trailers to hold every pie, every protein, and every prep tray so the kitchen served the rush without missing a ticket. The reason we hear some version of that line so often is the same every time: the equipment was already nearby, already cold, and owned by the people who answered the phone. That same standard travels to every Vacaville job, from a one-cook taqueria to a distribution floor.
Fast Cold-Storage Trailers for Vacaville Restaurants and Grocers
Vacaville pulls cold from two directions at once, biotech campuses on Vaca Valley Parkway and restaurants on Main Street. That one adjustable trailer is why a business here makes a single call, not two. Refrigerated product this week, frozen the next, same unit.
The walk-in cooler is the heart of any Vacaville kitchen. It holds the proteins, the produce, the dairy, the prepped line. When it quits, service stops. And it almost always quits on the worst afternoon, because a cooler that has run fine for years gives out on the hottest day, when it is working hardest. We see it every summer downtown along Main Street, at long-running spots like Merchant and Main, open since 1985, and at the busy plaza restaurants near Nut Tree Road and East Monte Vista Avenue.
Grocers face the same physics on a bigger scale. A single store runs banks of refrigerated cases and a frozen room, the largest cold load in retail. So when a compressor rack fails during a triple-digit stretch, a whole department of product is suddenly on a health-code clock. California law says cold food has to stay at or below 41 degrees. Staff have hours, not days. A refrigerated unit dropped in the lot holds that inventory safe and buys time to fix the built-in system, without dumping a truckload of food.
| 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.
Our answer is speed. We prep and dispatch a dual-purpose trailer, get it on-site fast, and have it cold before the losses start. One box covers whatever the emergency is, cooler or freezer, adjustable from about +50 degrees down to -10 degrees. Local emergency delivery runs about 45 minutes. National names like McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and Dutch Bros Coffee trust us with their cold storage, and the same trailers show up for an independent kitchen on Main Street.
Years on Vacaville jobs taught us to plan placement before the truck rolls. So we ask the power question first. A KryoFridge unit runs on exactly two things: a generator we bring, or a 120V, 20-amp dedicated circuit within 100 feet. There is no third option. In the tight downtown lots off Main Street and the busy retail pads near the Premium Outlets, we already know how to get a trailer in, leveled, and running without blocking your customers.
One Adjustable Fleet, Cooler or Freezer
Every KryoFridge trailer is dual-purpose. One dial takes it from about +50 degrees as a cooler down to -10 degrees as a freezer. In a two-sided town like Vacaville, that flexibility is the whole point. A restaurant off Main Street needs a cooler this week. A plant off Vaca Valley Parkway needs a deep freeze next week. Same unit, one call.
We own the fleet, and it is one of the largest in the West. So we are not sold out when a heat wave lights up every phone in Solano County at once. More units on the yard means we still have a trailer for you on the hottest afternoon of the year, when the built-in coolers are failing all over town.
Setup comes down to power and a level pad. A unit runs on a generator we bring or a dedicated 120V, 20-amp circuit within 100 feet, nothing else. It does not run on a standard 208 to 240V connection. Every trailer is NSF approved, licensed, and insured, and we get it holding temperature the same day it lands.
Cold Storage for Every Kind of Vacaville Job
Vacaville sits on Interstate 80, halfway between the Bay Area and Sacramento, and it runs on cold. Restaurants feed Main Street and the 120-store Premium Outlets. The Vaca Valley Parkway corridor holds a world-scale biologics campus and a Kaiser hospital. Farms work the Pleasants Valley and English Hills edges. The demand rarely lets up. Here is where our units do the heavy lifting around town.
🍽 Kitchen and facility remodels
A Vacaville restaurant or institutional kitchen under renovation still needs cold storage while the build runs. We park a dual-purpose unit on-site so the walk-in coming out does not take your service down with it.
🛒 Catering and banquet surge
A wedding, a corporate function, or a food event at Andrews Park needs far more cold-holding than a fixed kitchen has. Our trailers scale you up for the day, then come out when it is over.
📦 New location build-outs
A new restaurant, grocer, or warehouse near I-80 or I-505 needs cold capacity before its permanent systems are commissioned. A unit bridges the gap so you can stock and train on schedule.
🎪 Bulk buy and overstock
When a quick-service brand lands a bulk buy, or a plant overproduces ahead of a promotion, our reefers add the holding space. No renting a whole warehouse for it.
🚨 Healthcare and institutional
Kaiser Vacaville Medical Center, NorthBay VacaValley Hospital, and local schools run cold chains around the clock. When a fixed system needs food-service backup during construction or a failure, we get reliable temporary refrigeration there fast.
What ties these together is the clock. Nobody budgets a freezer trailer into next quarter. They reach for one the hour a compressor quits, the morning a remodel begins, or the evening before a party when the stack of rented ice chests suddenly looks laughably undersized. Since our units sit staged around Vacaville instead of a couple counties down the freeway, "can I get it today" is an ordinary ask here, not a stretch.
Our Trailers on Real Vacaville-Area Jobs
Actual KryoFridge units on actual work. Retail back lots, distribution yards, event grounds, and the late-night emergencies that do not wait for morning.
What a Cold-Storage Failure Actually Costs a Vacaville Operation
Add it up the way a Vacaville owner 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 for a corner cafe or a clustered setup for a warehouse floor, and turn it around the same day.
Built for Vacaville Summers That Break Cold Equipment
Vacaville summers are long, dry, and hot. Daytime highs push into the triple digits for days at a stretch. The all-time record is 115 degrees, and the town has hit it six times since 1893, most recently on September 6, 2022. That is the extreme. But a normal July week in the low 100s is enough to strain a tired cold room.
Heat is not an abstraction for cold storage. Push the outside air past 105 degrees for several days and compressors run nonstop. Condensers cannot shed heat. Marginal equipment quits. The walk-in that has run fine for years fails on the hottest afternoon, because that is exactly when it works hardest. Grocery racks, campus cafeterias, and event coolers all feel the strain at once.
We stage for Vacaville's heat season the way a fire crew staffs for fire season. When the forecast shows a 105-degree stretch, we know the calls are coming. So the businesses that plan ahead get their units placed calmly, instead of scrambling on a Friday night. Our trailers hold temperature through the worst of it.
Refrigerated and Freezer Units for the Vaca Valley Parkway Corridor
Vacaville is a real life-science town, which is rare for a city its size. On the north edge, along Vaca Valley Parkway, sits a biologics campus Genentech built and Lonza took over in 2024. It holds about 330,000 liters of bioreactor capacity, among the largest such sites in the world, and it has made cancer drugs like Herceptin, Avastin, and Rituxan. That kind of product lives or dies by temperature. Kaiser Permanente's Vacaville Medical Center sits right across the parkway.
The town has made medicine and food for decades. Alza built a 117,000-square-foot pharmaceutical plant here for transdermal patches, a facility that later went to Johnson and Johnson. Basic American Foods was founded in Vacaville back in 1933 as a dehydration plant, and it grew to hold most of the North American dehydrated potato market. Smaller biotech firms like Novici Biotech and Polaris Pharmaceuticals followed Genentech in along Interstate 505. So this is a manufacturing town with a deep cold-storage habit.
We are careful about what we do here. We do not store regulated drug product, because the campus runs its own validated cold rooms for that. But a plant this size runs cafeterias, feeds contractors, and hits facility projects where general cold or frozen holding is needed away from the clean suites. And new buildings along I-80 and I-505 need bridge cold capacity during fit-out, before their permanent systems come online. That is where a portable refrigerated unit earns its place.
For every one of these operations, we bring self-contained trailers that drop at a loading dock and run within hours. Power is a generator we bring or a dedicated 120V, 20-amp circuit within 100 feet, nothing else. Sometimes a unit bridges a system outage. Other times it adds room during a plant transition, or covers a seasonal spike at a distribution site. Our reefers are the swing capacity the Vacaville corridor plans around.
Mobile Cold Storage for Vacaville Harvests, Events, and Outages
West and north of town, the land turns to farms. Vaca Valley, Pleasants Valley, and the English Hills grow produce and tree crops, run cattle, and hold a string of small wineries along Pleasants Valley Road. Harvest is temperature-critical and runs on a tight calendar, in the hottest part of the year. Produce moves on a short window from field to packer. So when a small packing or farm-stand operation outruns its fixed cooling in a peak week, a refrigerated unit adds room right where it is needed, then leaves when the surge passes.
Vacaville's event season runs through that same heat. Fiesta Days fills Andrews Park over Memorial Day weekend with a Main Street parade, a carnival, and food vendors. The free CreekWalk concerts run Friday nights from June through August at the amphitheater on Ulatis Creek. None of it stays food-safe on ice chests when the afternoon hits 100 degrees. And temporary food operations have to hold product at safe temperatures under Solano County rules, so serious teams build a cold unit into the plan.
Then there is the emergency season. In August 2020 the LNU Lightning Complex burned into English Hills, Gibson Canyon, and Pleasants Valley, part of a fire that scorched 363,220 acres and destroyed 1,491 structures across the region. Since then, PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs have become a normal late-summer risk for the hills around Vacaville. High heat and a dead grid hit at the same time. That is the worst case for anyone holding perishable product.
A generator-powered trailer runs right through it, off the grid, for as long as the outage lasts. We have staged units at events, on farm sites, and behind venues around Vacaville, and years of doing it here mean we plan the approach first. A festival footprint at Andrews Park or a rural pad off Pleasants Valley Road leaves no room to improvise once the truck shows up. So we scout the pad, the access, and the power ahead of time. Then we deliver cold-holding that scales up for the job and comes out when it is done.
Setting the Right Temperature for What You're Holding
"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 Vacaville heat wave, 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 Vacaville 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.
Power and Placement on a Vacaville Site
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.
- Dedicated outlet on hand? Most Vacaville kitchens and markets already have the right one, so we plug straight in and the unit begins pulling the temperature down.
- Open lot or event field? A generator keeps the trailer running anywhere, whether that is an event lawn or a warehouse yard.
- Worried about a shutoff? A unit on a generator keeps your cold chain alive when a fire-season power shutoff takes the surrounding grid down.
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 Vacaville layout cold, so the delivery is one clean trip instead of a guessing game on the property.
From the Field, Real Vacaville-Area Saves
Downtown restaurant, Fiesta Days weekend, walk-in down
The call came on a triple-digit Saturday during Fiesta Days, with downtown packed and the kitchen slammed. The walk-in had failed and a full inventory of proteins and produce was warming up fast. We prepped a dual-purpose trailer and dispatched right away, and it was on-site and holding product in well under an hour. The kitchen never stopped serving the crowd off Main Street.
Vaca Valley Parkway campus, cafeteria cold room down mid-project
A campus food-service operation off Vaca Valley Parkway lost its main cold room during a facility project, right when it still had to feed crews on-site. Losing the cold storage would have shut down meal service. So we placed a refrigerated unit at the loading area and dialed it in the same day, and it carried the food-service load until the built-in system came back.
English Hills property, PSPS in a heat wave
PG&E de-energized part of the English Hills area during a hot, high-wind stretch, and a rural grocer was staring at a full case of refrigerated and frozen product with no power for more than a day. We brought a generator-powered dual-purpose trailer, moved the at-risk product aboard, and held it food-safe until the grid came back. Nothing was lost.
Renting a Freezer Trailer in Vacaville, Step by Step
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.
1 · Describe the load
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.
2 · We finalize size, power & spot
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.
3 · Delivery and cold-down
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.
4 · Run it, reach us anytime
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.
The Food-Safety and Power Rules in Vacaville
California's Retail Food Code sets the temperature line every Vacaville kitchen answers to. Cold food has to stay at or below 41 degrees. A refrigeration failure that lets product drift above that line starts a health-code clock, enforced here by Solano County Environmental Health. So a unit that holds product at a safe, verifiable temperature is often what keeps a failure from turning into a total loss during an inspection.
Temporary events carry their own permits under Solano County. Fiesta Days, the CreekWalk concerts, farmers markets, and catered events all fall under temporary food facility rules that require real cold-holding on-site. Ice chests cannot hold 41 degrees through a 100-degree afternoon of service. So serious event teams build a refrigerated or freezer unit into the plan.
Power and placement are the practical rules. A KryoFridge trailer runs on exactly two sources: a generator we provide, or a 120V, 20-amp dedicated circuit within 100 feet. It does not run on 208 to 240V. So we plan the pad, the access, and the power before delivery, and the unit is level, safe, and running the same day, whether the site is a downtown lot off Main Street or a rural pad off Pleasants Valley Road.
What our trailers bring to a health-code inspection
- NSF-approved interior surfaces built for direct food contact.
- A digital controller that puts the set-point in plain view for the inspector.
- Proper drainage and a sealed, food-safe insulated box.
- Licensed and insured on every unit we put on the road.
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.
Three Trailer Sizes, and How to Pick Yours
We stock three footprints, and together they stretch from a one-kitchen overflow all the way to distribution and disaster-scale capacity. Each one is dual-purpose by design, a single adjustable system that swings between freezer and refrigerator on a precise digital set-point, and each one lives on either a dedicated circuit or a generator.
| Trailer | Best for | Temp range |
|---|---|---|
| 6x8 | Tight lots, small kitchens, short overflow | -10°F to 50°F |
| 6x12 | Grocers, caterers, mid-size events | Deep-freeze capable |
| 6x16 | Distribution, large events, disaster | Heavy-duty reefer |
Each unit holds a precise digital set-point and runs on a dedicated 120V/20A circuit or a generator.
6x8, the compact pick for tight retail lots
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.
6x12, the everyday pick for grocers and caterers
Call it fourteen pallet spots, deep-freeze rated, and far and away the size people ask for most. It lands right in the middle for a grocery backstop, 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.
6x16, the heavy hauler for distribution and disaster
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? Tell us roughly what you are storing and for how long, and we will spec it for you rather than nudging you into a bigger unit than the job calls for.
Everything Else Vacaville Operators Ask Us
The questions that surface once the basics are settled. Tap any topic to open it.
Freezer trailer vs. portable walk-in vs. reefer truck. Which should you rent?
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.
NSF build quality and health-code compliance
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.
Multi-trailer setups for distribution and large operations
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.
Short-term emergency vs. long-term and contract storage
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."
Renting vs. building permanent cold storage
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.
How a trailer holds deep-freeze in triple-digit heat
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.

What Vacaville Businesses Say About Us
"Our walk-in died on a Saturday in July with the dining room full. KryoFridge had a trailer in our lot and cold before we lost a thing. These are the people you want in your phone before summer, not after."
Dave R. · restaurant owner, Main Street"A compressor rack went down during a heat wave and we were staring at a whole frozen department. They brought a generator unit, we moved product over, and nothing was lost. Fast, and they knew our lot before they showed up."
Sandra L. · grocery manager, Nut Tree Road"We lost a cold room during a project and could not afford a gap in food service. They delivered same day, dialed in the temperature, and the dual-purpose unit gave us exactly the flexibility we needed."
Miguel A. · facilities lead, Vaca Valley Parkway campus"I run big events downtown all summer, and a refrigerated trailer is the only way to hold food safe in this heat. KryoFridge is reliable every time, and they handle the placement so I can focus on the event."
Karen T. · caterer, Andrews Park events"When the power went out during a shutoff, we had a truckload of product on the line. They rolled a generator trailer out to us off Pleasants Valley Road and held everything cold until the grid came back. Saved our week."
Ray M. · farm stand owner, Pleasants ValleySample reviews written to mirror genuine Vacaville situations, to be replaced with verified Google reviews ahead of launch.
Vacaville Freezer & Refrigerated Trailer Rental FAQ
How fast can you get a refrigerated trailer to my Vacaville business?
Fast. We run same-day and 24/7 emergency dispatch across Vacaville and Solano County, and in a true emergency we prep and roll a unit right away. Local emergency delivery runs about 45 minutes. Because we work as a local hub, the trailer does not come from far away.
Is your trailer a cooler or a freezer?
It is both. Every KryoFridge unit is dual-purpose, one adjustable box that runs from about +50 degrees as a cooler down to -10 degrees as a freezer. So a single trailer covers whatever your emergency is. And you do not have to decide up front whether you need cold or frozen storage.
How do you power a unit at my site?
There are exactly two ways. We bring a generator, or your site gives us a 120V, 20-amp dedicated circuit within 100 feet. Two ways, nothing else. It does not run on a standard 208 to 240V connection, so we ask about power first and get the unit running the same day.
Do you serve Fairfield, Dixon, and Winters too?
Yes. From our Vacaville hub, Interstate 80 and Interstate 505 put Fairfield, Dixon, Winters, Davis, Suisun City, and Rio Vista inside a short dispatch window. We serve the whole Solano County market and the towns just past the county line.
Why do Vacaville businesses need backup cold storage in summer?
Because the heat here breaks equipment. Vacaville has hit an all-time record of 115 degrees, and normal July weeks run in the low 100s. That heat pushes coolers and freezers to their limit, and gear that has run fine for years often fails on the hottest afternoon. A unit on-site is the insurance against losing your inventory during a heat wave.
Can you help during a PG&E power shutoff?
Yes, and it is one of the most common calls we get here. PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs regularly de-energize the hills around Vacaville, including the English Hills and Pleasants Valley areas, during high-wind and high-heat weather. A generator-powered trailer keeps your refrigerated and frozen product food-safe through a multi-day outage.
Do you provide cold storage for Fiesta Days and other events?
Yes. We place refrigeration and freezer units at events like Fiesta Days and the CreekWalk concerts at Andrews Park, and at private functions around town. Temporary food operations have to hold product at safe temperatures, which ice chests cannot do in the summer heat. So a unit is standard infrastructure for serious events.
My restaurant's walk-in just failed. What do I do?
Call us right away. The walk-in is the heart of your kitchen, and every hour it is down puts more inventory at risk. We prep and dispatch a dual-purpose trailer, get it on-site fast, and hold your proteins, produce, and dairy at safe temperature while your fixed unit is repaired. You keep serving.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. KryoFridge is a licensed, insured, and NSF approved, direct owner-operated company. We own our fleet and dispatch it ourselves. We are not a reseller or a broker, so when you call you reach the people responsible for the trailer and how it performs.
Do you serve the biotech and food-manufacturing corridor?
Yes. The Vaca Valley Parkway and Interstate 505 corridor is a core part of what we serve. We provide temporary refrigeration for campus food service, facility projects, fit-out bridge capacity, and food-plant surges. We do not store regulated drug product, which the validated on-site cold rooms handle.
How long can I keep a trailer?
As long as you need it. Some jobs are a one-day emergency. Some run for weeks through a remodel, a harvest surge, or a facility project. We work around your timeline and coordinate delivery and pickup to fit your operation.

What to Do When a Walk-In Fails During a Vacaville Heat Wave
Every Vacaville restaurant owner learns the same lesson. The walk-in will fail on the hottest, busiest day of the year. It is not bad luck. A refrigeration system works hardest when the outside air is worst, and Vacaville summers run deep into the triple digits, with a record of 115 degrees. Run the ambient heat past 105 for days and compressors never rest. So if a walk-in is going to give out, a July afternoon is when it happens.
The first thing to understand is the clock. California's Retail Food Code requires cold food to stay at or below 41 degrees. A commercial walk-in that loses cooling holds safe temperature for only a few hours, less in extreme heat, and every hour past that pushes more product into the danger zone. Proteins, dairy, cut produce, and prepared foods go first. Once product crosses the line, the health rules make you throw it out.
Protecting Cold Storage Through a Solano County Power Shutoff or Fire
For businesses in Vacaville and the hills around it, a power outage is not a rare event to hope against. It is a planning assumption. PG&E runs a Public Safety Power Shutoff program that cuts electricity when weather raises wildfire risk, and the trigger conditions read like a typical Vacaville late summer: low humidity, high heat, strong wind. The higher-risk zones go dark first.
The areas most likely to lose power sit at the edge of the wildland. That means the English Hills, Pleasants Valley, and Gibson Canyon land on the west and north sides of town. Those are the same places the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex tore through. That fire burned 363,220 acres across the region and destroyed 1,491 structures, and it moved into these Vacaville hills on August 19, 2020.

Cold Storage for Vacaville's Biotech and Food-Manufacturing Corridor
Vacaville is one of the few mid-size California cities with a world-scale life-science industry, and that shapes its cold-storage needs. Along Vaca Valley Parkway, on the north edge of town, sits a biologics campus that Genentech built and Lonza acquired in 2024. It runs about 330,000 liters of bioreactor capacity, among the largest such sites anywhere, and it has produced cancer drugs like Herceptin, Avastin, and Rituxan.
Start with what a rental unit does not do. It does not store regulated drug product. The campus runs its own validated, redundant cold rooms for media, intermediates, and finished drug substance, and no outside trailer substitutes for that. Being clear about that line is part of doing the work right.

Powering and Placing a Refrigerated Trailer at Your Vacaville Site
Every Vacaville business asks the same practical question when renting a refrigerated or freezer unit. How do we power and position it? The answer is simpler than most people expect. And getting it right up front is what turns a rental into a same-day fix instead of a stalled job.
Start with power, because it decides everything else. A mobile cold-storage trailer runs on exactly two sources. The first is a generator, which the rental company provides, making the unit fully independent of your building's electricity. That is ideal for outages, rural sites off Pleasants Valley Road, and event grounds. The second is a 120V, 20-amp dedicated circuit within 100 feet.
