Refrigeration Trailers
Alturas is the trade center for a region of beef, sheep, potatoes, alfalfa, and lumber, and growers and ranchers need cold storage. Refrigerated trailers lead our Alturas rentals.

U.S. 395 and State Route 299 merge in Alturas, and winter storms, high wind, wildfire, and long outages can disrupt a county seat of 2,715 in one of the state's most remote corners. A refrigerated trailer holds product until power returns, and restrooms and sleepers support crews that respond.
24/7 Emergency Remote Man Camp Basecamp leasing in Alturas provides sleepers, showers, laundry, and restroom trailers on generator power.
Major Work: Federal Land Offices and Agriculture
Alturas is headquarters for Modoc National Forest, the BLM Applegate Field Office, and Modoc National Wildlife Refuge, and local, state, federal, and tribal governments are the largest employers. The timber industry collapsed in the early 1980s, and the Alturas Rancheria operates a casino just outside city limits. Forest, ranch, and highway contractors rent sleepers, combos, and laundry near the work.

Renovation: The Courthouse and the Railway Buildings
The Modoc County Courthouse, completed in 1914, the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway building from 1917-18, and the NCO depot from 1908 are among the historic buildings, and the Niles Theater and Sacred Heart Church also stand. They renovate in stages, and a restroom trailer or a mobile kitchen trailer for lease in Alturas keeps a site working.
Emergency Equipment Access in Alturas
U.S. 395 and State Route 299 pass through Alturas, with a general aviation airport and the Union Pacific Modoc Subdivision serving the area. Winter weather and long distances shape delivery planning. These are public routes; our deliveries are scheduled around current conditions.
Ranch Seasons and Refuge Visitors
Modoc National Wildlife Refuge and the national forest draw visitors, and ranch seasons bring branding, shipping, and haying. Hosts rent restroom trailers, showers, and refrigerated trailers for rent in Alturas.
Alturas Weather and Site Planning
Alturas has cold winters and hot, dry summers at 4,370 feet. Refrigerated trailers need shade and a reliable power source in summer, and winter sites need heat and tie-downs. A Remote Workforce Housing Shower Laundry Bunkbed Sleeper trailer in Alturas setup for crews can share water and wastewater.
Rental Options and Prices for Alturas
A 12ft refrigerated trailer is an estimated $1,295 to $1,495 for 1 to 6 days and a 20ft unit an estimated $1,495 to $1,595, with longer rentals quoted by the week or month. A 20ft refrigerated container is an estimated $2,495 and a 40ft container $3,495. Our 20ft refrigerated trailers list 220V single-phase service at 40 to 60 amps, which we confirm before delivery. Add sleepers, showers, and laundry for Alturas crews.
What Alturas Projects Need, Season by Season
Summer is haying, fire, and construction season. Fall is shipping and hunting. Winter brings cold and snow. Spring is branding and thaw.
Who Rents Trailers in Alturas
Ranchers and growers rent cold storage and showers. Agencies rent basecamps. Contractors rent sleepers, combos, and laundry. Event hosts rent restrooms.
Planning a Trailer Site in Alturas
Send us the address, dates, product volume or crew size, and a photo of the pad. For cold storage we confirm power, set point, and capacity before delivery. Our Portland, Oregon hub delivers into northern California on request, and delivery is listed separately on the written quote. A written quote lists each unit and the delivery and setup.
Short-Term and Long-Term Leasing in Alturas
Short jobs and seasonal camps are priced differently from year-long leases. For Alturas, a 20ft accommodation unit is an estimated $2,995 for 1 to 6 days, and the same unit is an estimated $2,195 to $2,495 for three months or more. Because the quote lists each unit separately, you can add a shower, laundry, or kitchen later without re-pricing the rest of the camp.
Permits and Site Considerations in Alturas
Temporary trailers in Alturas may need review by the city or Modoc County. Sites on federal land involve the managing agency, and refrigerated food units are reviewed by county environmental health. We help you identify what your site needs before delivery.
Delivery, Setup, and Pickup in Alturas
Before a truck leaves for Alturas, we walk through U.S. 395 and State Route 299. Setup is about an hour for most units, about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers, a few minutes for stairs, and four to six hours for ramps. Everything on a Modoc County job, from delivery to pickup, goes on a single schedule. One local detail: long distances and winter weather can change timing, so we confirm conditions.
Power, Water, and Wastewater Planning in Alturas
Utilities decide what can go where in Alturas. Our shower containers list 120V/240V at 200 amps, laundry trailers 240V single phase at 200 amps, kitchens 220V single phase at 200 to 220 amps, and refrigerated trailers 220V at 40 to 60 amps. On a site without power or sewer we bring generator trailers, water tank trailers, and greywater bladders, and schedule the pump-outs.
From Dorris' Bridge to Alturas
The town began as Dorris' Bridge, named for the brothers who built a bridge across the Pit River, became Dorrisville in 1874, and was renamed Alturas, Spanish for heights, in 1876. A county seat in a remote county draws business from a huge area, and county work, from road repair to courthouse upgrades, brings crews from far away. A camp near the work saves them a long drive.
A Trade Center for Beef and Potatoes
The region around Alturas produces beef, sheep, potatoes, alfalfa, and lumber, and shipping seasons need cold storage and crew facilities. A 20ft refrigerated trailer with a 220V circuit holds food or product at a set temperature for the weeks of a shipment, and a shower and laundry unit supports the crew. We confirm the power and the pad with the grower.
Scenario: Cold Storage at Shipping Time
Imagine a ranch operation that needs cold storage and crew facilities for three weeks of shipping. A 20ft refrigerated trailer on a level pad with a 220V circuit, plus a shower unit and a restroom trailer for the crew, would hold supplies and keep the crew comfortable. That is the refrigerated trailer lease in Alturas we can plan from your volume and power.
