Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Trailers
Need to store product cold — or hard-frozen — on site? Our walk-in cooler and freezer trailers give Columbus businesses and events dependable temperature-controlled space when in-house capacity runs short or a compressor fails. Every unit holds anywhere from 0°F to 50°F, reaches setpoint in about an hour, and runs on standard building power — so setup works wherever you park it, stadium lots and convention docks included.
Walk-In Cooler Mode (34°F to 40°F)
Our most-requested setup for Central Ohio restaurants, caterers and events. Holds produce, dairy, beverages, floral and prepped food through game-day weekends, conventions, weddings and seasonal rushes. Cold-holding for prepared food needs to stay at or below 41°F, which this range covers with margin.
Walk-In Freezer Mode (down to 0°F)
Built for hard-frozen inventory — ice cream, frozen proteins and prepped meals. A dependable backup for grocers, food distributors and kitchens when an in-house freezer goes down, and for North Market and farmers-market vendors holding product between sale days.
Specs & Benefits
- 0°F to 50°F — one setpoint per trailer, set before it leaves the yard
- Reaches setpoint in about an hour — arrives ready to load
- Dedicated 15A, 110–125V circuit — standard three-prong plug, 25' cord included, no generator required
- Kingtec and Govi refrigeration running on electric standby — no engine, no exhaust, no noise
- Step-in floor at ground height — roll carts and hand trucks straight through, no ramp or forklift
- Fits stadium lots, convention docks, job sites and event grounds across Franklin County
- Interior cleaned and temperature-verified before every delivery
- Lockable door for overnight security at venues and job sites

Who Rents Cold Storage in Columbus
Six situations we handle nearly every week across Franklin County and Central Ohio.
🏪 Restaurant & Kitchen Backup
Columbus has a dense restaurant scene and a lot of aging equipment behind it. When a walk-in fails in the Short North, Downtown, German Village or Grandview, we get a trailer to your dock or lot so you keep serving while the refrigeration company sources the part.
🏗️ Remodels & Cooler Replacement
Grocery refreshes, kitchen buildouts and walk-in replacements need somewhere for product to live for three to six weeks. A 30-day trailer is usually cheaper than discarding inventory or renting warehouse space across town.
🥬 Grocers, Markets & Distributors
Independent grocers, North Market and farmers-market vendors, butchers, produce houses and the food distributors moving product through Rickenbacker use extra cold space for holiday volume, large drops and equipment that is out of service.
🏥 Medical & Laboratory
Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and research labs across the metro use mobile refrigeration to protect vaccines, samples and medication during equipment failures, facility work and planned shutdowns.
🏟️ Conventions, Game Days & Festivals
Cold storage for the Greater Columbus Convention Center, trade shows and expos, stadium-lot tailgates on Ohio State home Saturdays, and the festival circuit — Ohio State Fair, Dublin Irish Festival, ComFest, Red White & Boom.
⚡ Power Outages
Storms take walk-ins down across Central Ohio every summer. If your building has power and your cooler does not, a trailer plugs into a working circuit and saves the load. If the whole block is dark, we will talk through options honestly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get a refrigerated trailer to Columbus?
If you call before mid-afternoon and a unit is open, we can often deliver the same day anywhere in Franklin County. Standard bookings are typically scheduled for the next business day. Ohio State home weekends, the Ohio State Fair and major convention dates book up fast, so reserve early when you can. Call 586-496-4883 to check what is open right now.
Can I rent a trailer during a power outage?
Storm outages are one of the most common reasons Central Ohio businesses call us. If your building has power and your walk-in does not, a trailer plugs into a working circuit and holds your product. If the whole block is dark, we will talk through generator options honestly rather than sell you a unit that cannot run.
What does a refrigerated trailer rental cost in Columbus?
A small trailer starts at $599 for three days, $899 for seven days and $2,900 for thirty. A medium trailer starts at $729, $1,100 and $3,500 for the same terms. Delivery and pickup are quoted by distance to your address, a deposit is required, and the minimum rental is three days. Call 586-496-4883 for an exact quote.
How cold do the trailers get?
Every unit holds anywhere from 0°F to 50°F and is set to your temperature before it leaves our yard. Cooler mode holds roughly 34°F to 40°F for produce, dairy, drinks and prepared plates — comfortably below the 41°F cold-holding requirement. Freezer mode pulls down to 0°F for meat, seafood, ice cream and frozen product. One trailer holds one setpoint, so if you need chilled and frozen separately we can deliver two units.
What are the power requirements?
Our trailers need a dedicated 15A, 110–125V circuit and plug into a standard three-prong outlet. A 25' cord is included and no generator is required. Dedicated is the important word — a refrigeration compressor draws a brief surge when it starts, so sharing the circuit with a fryer, coffee line or POS gear will trip the breaker. If you are unsure about the outlet at your site, describe it on the phone and we will confirm before we roll.
Can you handle game-day and stadium-area deliveries?
Yes — Ohio State home weekends are one of our busiest windows. We plan around traffic and stadium lot access, and we can drop the trailer early and retrieve it after the crowds clear. Tell us your location and time window and we will map out the delivery.
Do you serve conventions and large downtown events?
Absolutely. We deliver to the Greater Columbus Convention Center and other downtown venues, positioning units on your event schedule including overnight and early-morning drops so the trailer is ready before doors open. Share your dock or lot details and we will plan the approach. If the venue requires a certificate of insurance or a placement approval, tell us early and we will get you what you need before load-in.
How long does it take to get cold once it's delivered?
About an hour to reach setpoint from ambient, and we set the temperature before the unit leaves our yard so it arrives ready. Loading warm product extends that, because the unit has to remove that heat as well.
Which Central Ohio communities do you cover?
Along with Columbus, we deliver to Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Grove City, Gahanna, Upper Arlington, Worthington, New Albany, Reynoldsburg, Powell, Pickerington, Grandview Heights, Bexley, Whitehall, Canal Winchester, Delaware, Lewis Center, Marysville, Plain City and Groveport. Call 586-496-4883 and we will confirm scheduling for your address.
What if my rental runs longer than planned?
Just let us know before your scheduled pickup and we will extend it if the trailer is not already promised to someone else. Extensions are common on construction jobs and multi-week events, and the added days are billed at your existing rate tier.
