Refrigeration Trailers
Ellsworth shipped cattle by rail in the 1870s, a business that depended on cold chains and crews, and cold storage is still its first need. Refrigerated trailers lead our Ellsworth rentals.

Ellsworth lies near the Smoky Hill River in central Kansas, and tornadoes, flash flooding, blizzards, summer heat, and long outages can disrupt a city of 3,066. A refrigerated trailer protects food and medicine, and restrooms and sleepers support crews that respond.
24/7 Emergency Remote Man Camp Basecamp leasing in Ellsworth provides sleepers, showers, laundry, and restroom trailers on generator power.
Major History: Fort Ellsworth and the Cattle Trade
The city is named for Fort Ellsworth, built in 1864, and boomed to over two thousand people by the time it was incorporated in 1867. Cattle were driven up from Texas to the Kansas Pacific stockyards, until the railroad closed its cattle pens in 1875 and the trade dwindled to almost nothing by the mid-1880s. In 1872 the Drovers Cottage was built to accommodate 175 guests. Rail, highway, and farm contractors rent sleepers, combos, and laundry near the work.

Planning a Trailer Site in Ellsworth
Send us the address, dates, crew or event size, and a photo of the pad. For a refrigerated trailer we confirm power and a level pad before delivery. Our Portland, Oregon hub delivers into Kansas 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 Ellsworth
Short jobs and seasonal camps are priced differently from year-long leases. For Ellsworth, 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 Ellsworth
Temporary trailers in Ellsworth may need review by the city or Ellsworth County. Food-service units are reviewed by health officials. We help you identify what your site needs before delivery.
Delivery, Setup, and Pickup in Ellsworth
Before a truck leaves for Ellsworth, we walk through the highways of central Kansas. 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 Ellsworth County job, from delivery to pickup, goes on a single schedule. One local detail: winter weather can change timing, so we confirm conditions.
Power, Water, and Wastewater Planning in Ellsworth
Utilities decide what can go where in Ellsworth. 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.
A Stockyard on the Railroad
The Kansas Pacific operated a stockyard here to ship cattle to eastern markets, and cattle driven from Texas ended their trail at the pens. Moving cattle meant moving food, water, and crews, and cold chains came later. Today a refrigerated trailer on an approved lot serves the same role for events and emergencies, holding food or medicine at a steady temperature.
A Hotel for Drovers
The Drovers Cottage, built in 1872 to hold 175 guests and stable fifty carriages, shows the scale of business in the cattle-town years. The boom ended, but the lesson endures: capacity that comes quickly can leave quickly. A rented camp matches that reality for modern projects and avoids stranded investment.
Scenario: A Heritage Weekend
Imagine a heritage weekend with several thousand visitors and food vendors. A refrigerated trailer for vendors, restroom trailers near the main street, and a mobile kitchen for volunteers, serviced daily, would support the weekend. That is the refrigerated trailer lease in Ellsworth we can plan from the organizer estimate.
