Refrigerated Trailer Rental in Columbus, GA

Put Fort Benning ceremony dates on your catering calendar

Families travel to Columbus for the ceremonies that close out Army training at Fort Benning: Turning Green, Turning Blue, Family Day and graduation. The brigades post their dates, so you can see a heavy week coming. If you cater those meals or run a kitchen that fills up when families are in town, a trailer gives you a place to stage trays and hold extra product while your walk-in keeps up with daily service. Rental length is flexible, so keep it for one week or a stretch of them. Every trailer can refrigerate or freeze, and a 7’×14’ suits a kitchen that needs extra capacity for longer.

Fall brings its own push. The Fountain City Classic puts Albany State and Fort Valley State fans in A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium each November, and tailgates and team meals need somewhere cold to wait.

Work back from 30 days for anything in Uptown

Up to three deadlines can land on one event, and the shortest is the one that misleads people.

• Uptown permits: The guidelines for the 47-block district want requests for street closures, lane blockages and festivals at least 30 days ahead.
• Festival permit: Columbus Police need the application 10 days out, or 14 days with an insurance certificate at 10,000 or more participants.
• Food: Georgia’s vendor application has to reach the health department 30 days before the event. West Central Health District covers Columbus.

Uptown permits also carry a five-hour limit, and a trailer delivered the day before will sit much longer than that. A private lot close by is the better bet, so look for one before you file. We need a level spot our truck can reach, and we’ll talk through power when you call.

Cross the Chattahoochee and Alabama’s rules take over

Phenix City is just over the river in Russell County, and we serve that side too. The paperwork changes at the bridge, though. Alabama’s health department tells event vendors to contact the county health department where the event is held as early as possible. If your caterer works on one side and the party is on the other, find out which office applies before you lock in the menu. Events on the Georgia side stay with the deadlines above.
