Refrigerated Container Rentals by Industry, Delivered Fast Across NJ and the Tri-State
Cross Cold Storage rents refrigerated containers to businesses across New Jersey, New York, and the Tri-State. We work with food service, seafood, meat, floral, medical, pharmaceutical, chemical, events, and government operations, and each one needs a different temperature and setup. Every unit is a 20ft or 40ft reefer that holds any point from -20°F to +70°F, on electric power or a diesel generator. Find your industry below to see how on-site cold storage fits your work, or call for a quick recommendation.

Why businesses across NJ and the Tri-State choose Cross Cold Storage
Perishable inventory does not wait for a repair call. Our reefers run on programmable thermostats with auto defrost, and they hold any set point from -20°F to +70°F. That covers frozen meat at one end and cut flowers at the other, on the same lot if you need two units.
You can rent by the season for a project or a single weekend, or buy a unit outright if cold storage is now a fixed part of your operation. We deliver across New Jersey, New York, and the wider Tri-State, drop the container on your site, and set it to plug in or run on diesel. No warehouse contract, and no off-site trips to reach your own stock.
Every industry loads a container differently. Units can run on an optional diesel generator for sites without reliable power, and we can plan the interior setup around how you store and rotate product. Tell us what you keep cold and we will spec the unit to match.
Not sure which container fits your industry?
A 20ft container fits tight lots and lighter volume. A 40ft unit roughly doubles the space for high-turnover or bulk cold storage. See the full 20ft and 40ft specs side by side, including temperature range, power options, and dimensions. Still deciding? Call us and we will size it with you.
Electric or diesel: we run both
Power depends on where the container sits. Fixed indoor sites like pharmacies, hospitals, and restaurants usually run electric off a standard hookup, which is quiet and cheap to operate. Outdoor and remote sites like events, marinas, and disaster response lean on diesel, since they cannot count on grid power. We carry both and help you match the unit to the site.

Refrigerated container FAQ for NJ and Tri-State businesses
What industries use refrigerated storage containers?
Food service, seafood, meat, floral, medical, pharmaceutical, chemical, events, and government all use them. Any business that has to hold product cold and runs short on built-in space is a fit. The grid above lists the industries we serve most.
Can refrigerated containers meet food safety and pharmaceutical compliance standards?
The equipment supports it. Our units hold precise, stable temperatures, defrost on their own, and can be set up for temperature monitoring so you keep a record of conditions. Standards like HACCP, FDA, and cGMP are yours to meet, so share your target range and logging needs and we will spec a unit that supports them.
Do you serve industries outside of New Jersey?
Yes. We deliver across New York and the full Tri-State, not just New Jersey. If you are near our Manalapan yard or anywhere in the Northeast, ask about delivery to your site.
How quickly can you deliver to my site?
It depends on unit availability, your site prep, and the distance from our yard. Most sites need clear access and a level spot for the drop-off. Call us with your location and timeline and we will give you a firm delivery date.
Can I rent a container for a one-time event?
Yes. Short-term rentals cover single weekends, festivals, and one-off events. We deliver before the event and pick up when it wraps, so you only pay for the time you use.
What size container does my industry typically need?
Smaller operations and tight sites usually take a 20ft unit. High-volume users like frozen meat processors, grocery resets, and large events often need a 40ft. Compare both on the products page, or call and we will size it to your load.
