Man Camps
Application
On-site commercial walk-in coolers and low-temp freezers, available as trailers or container units, are critical infrastructure for man camps supporting hundreds of workers in remote locations across North America. From oil-producing regions in West Texas and the Bakken to northern Alberta’s oil sands, refrigerated storage ensures perishable food and supplies are kept fresh and safe for large-scale workforce catering operations where permanent cold storage facilities simply do not exist.
Chill Out Rentals specializes in providing affordable, mobile refrigeration and freezer solutions tailored exclusively for commercial and industrial applications. We support man camp operators, workforce housing providers, and catering companies that require reliable cold-chain storage for high-volume food service, bulk supply preservation, and emergency backup cooling to protect inventory and maintain operational continuity. Our portable units are delivered directly to your site and are available for short-term and long-term rental programs to support ongoing or seasonal operations.
Choose from 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, and 16ft refrigerated trailers, as well as 20ft ground-level walk-in cold storage containers for easy and efficient access. All equipment operates on standard 120V / 15A or 240V / 30A power, maintains precise temperature ranges from 3°C / 35°F to -18°C / 0°F, and includes ultra-low temperature options down to -40°C / -40°F. Our weather-proof refrigeration units are engineered for outdoor use and backed by CSA, ESA, UL, and ETL certifications, meeting stringent commercial safety and compliance requirements.
Man Camps That Benefit from On-Site Cold Storage
Types
- Oil and Gas Workforce Camps: Supports catering operations feeding hundreds of workers three meals a day in remote basins and shale plays, where reliable food storage is a core operational requirement.
- Mining Workforce Camps: Keeps bulk food inventories and perishable supplies safe at remote mine sites with limited resupply access, reducing waste and ensuring workforce nutrition standards are met.
- Construction and Infrastructure Camps: Provides portable refrigeration for temporary man camps supporting pipeline, highway, hydro, and wind farm construction projects across rural and remote corridors.
- Turnkey Camp Operators and Caterers: Supplements existing kitchen infrastructure with additional cooler and freezer capacity during peak occupancy periods or seasonal workforce surges.
- Disaster Response and Emergency Camps: Delivers rapid-deployment cold storage for emergency man camp setups supporting relief workers, first responders, and displaced populations.
Reliable cold storage is a non-negotiable component of man camp operations. Workers expect quality meals, and camp operators must maintain strict food safety standards to meet health inspection requirements and protect worker well-being. On-site refrigeration eliminates dependency on distant cold storage facilities, reduces expensive and logistically complex resupply runs, and ensures that perishable goods remain at safe holding temperatures around the clock, even during extreme weather.
Our temporary cold storage solutions give man camp operators the flexibility and reliability they need to keep food service running smoothly from day one. With commercial walk-in coolers, low-temp freezers, and scalable container options, we provide dependable refrigeration that matches your camp’s capacity, whether it serves 50 workers or 500. On-site refrigerated storage keeps your catering team well-supplied, your operation compliant, and your workforce satisfied.
