Emergency Refrigeration in Owatonna
When cooling fails in Owatonna
When a walk-in cooler fails or the power goes out in Owatonna, product is at risk within hours. Emergency refrigeration from Midstate puts a refrigerated trailer or container on site so food, medicine or inventory can be moved and kept cold. Our line is open 24/7 at (218) 203-8233. Owatonna is about 165 miles south of our Baxter base in a straight line, and we confirm the unit, the power and the delivery timing once we know your address.
Who depends on cold storage here
Cold storage matters to the places that keep Owatonna running. Care and health providers here include Owatonna Hospital (Allina) and Owatonna Clinic (Mayo Health System). Large employers include Federated Insurance, Viracon, Bosch and Jostens. A rented trailer can add capacity while a failed unit is repaired. These are examples of who relies on refrigeration, not a list of our customers.
Weather, outages and recovery
Documented examples include the September 22-24, 2010 flooding: record rainfall flooded the Straight River and Maple Creek in and near Owatonna, and developments in both floodplains were inundated. Climate figures from the reference page: Owatonna gets about 35 inches of precipitation and 44 inches of snow a year, with a record high of 102 and a record low of -35 degrees F. When the grid or a compressor is down, portable refrigeration lets a business keep product cold while the repair or the restoration is finished.
Getting a unit to your site
Main routes into Owatonna include Interstate 35, U.S. Highway 14 and U.S. Highway 218. Send the street address and the nearest cross street. We also ask about gate width, overhead lines and where the trailer will sit. A firm, level pad close to the loading door works best, and in winter the approach needs to be plowed and the pad clear of ice. We cannot promise a delivery time until we know your site and what is available, so call first.
