How 110 V Cold Storage Solutions Support Healthcare & Rehabilitation Centers Across New England
In healthcare and rehabilitation care facilities, reliable refrigeration isn’t optional — it’s essential. From storing resident meals and medically necessary dietary items to protecting temperature-sensitive products, cold storage plays a direct role in patient comfort and safety.
But many facilities throughout New England operate with limited walk-in cooler capacity, aging equipment, or the constant challenge of keeping kitchens running during maintenance, renovations, or unexpected breakdowns. When space runs short or equipment needs attention, having a fast, quiet, dependable cold storage backup isn’t just helpful — it keeps operations moving.
Century Leasing’s 110V refrigerated trailers and walk-in cooler/freezer containers are designed for sensitive environments. These units run on a standard 110V/15-amp outlet, operate quietly, and maintain accurate temperatures between 0°F and 50°F—all delivered quickly anywhere across New England.
Here are three ways temporary cold storage plays a vital role in supporting healthcare and rehab centers across the region.
1. Ensuring Meals Stay Fresh, Safe, and On Schedule
Food service is one of the busiest departments inside any healthcare or rehabilitation center. Facilities often prepare hundreds—even thousands—of meals each day, all requiring precise temperature control and smooth back-of-house operations.
But high volumes of produce, dairy, proteins, beverages, and specialized diets can strain existing walk-in coolers and freezers, especially during:
- Seasonal menu changes
- Weekly deliveries and restocking
- Unexpected surges in residence occupancy
- Transitional periods when new equipment is coming online
A temporary portable walk-in cooler or freezer can make all the difference.
Century Leasing’s 110V refrigerated trailers and ground-level containers:
- Maintain stable temperatures for HACCP compliance
- Offer flexible storage from 7’x12’ trailers to 10’, 20’, and 40’ walk-in units
- Provide extra space for food prep, daily meal service, and inventory rotation
- Help dietary teams meet resident needs without changing workflows
When refrigeration is reliable, staff can focus on what matters most — serving safe, nutritious meals without disruption.
2. Supporting Kitchen Operations During Renovations & Repairs
Healthcare kitchens undergo regular upgrades, maintenance, and walk-in cooler repairs. But taking a cooler offline doesn’t stop the need to serve three meals a day.
A temporary commercial refrigeration rental keeps the entire department running smoothly while work is underway.
Century Leasing frequently supports:
- Walk-in cooler/freezer repairs
- Full kitchen remodels
- Electrical upgrades
- Flooring or ventilation renovations
- Preventative maintenance downtime
- Replacement of aging equipment
Because all units plug into a standard 110V outlet, they can be positioned conveniently behind facilities, next to loading docks, or near kitchen entrances — without requiring an electrician or complex setup.
Healthcare teams appreciate that our units are:
- Quiet enough for patient-care environments
- Energy-efficient for multi-week or multi-month rentals
- Delivered and set up quickly, often same-day or next-day
- Available in multiple sizes, depending on kitchen layout and needs
This ensures uninterrupted service for residents and staff, even while major building improvements are underway.
3. Providing Emergency Cold Storage During Power Outages or Equipment Failure
Healthcare and rehabilitation centers cannot afford downtime — especially when refrigeration equipment unexpectedly fails. Whether due to power outages, compressor failure, mechanical issues, or seasonal storms, losing temperature-controlled storage can quickly become a costly and stressful situation.
Century Leasing offers rapid deployment of mobile refrigeration and freezer units for emergency situations across New England. Many times, we can dispatch within hours.
When crisis hits, facilities rely on us because our units:
- Plug into any standard 110V circuit (no generator needed for most cases)
- Maintain precise refrigerator and freezer temperatures to protect inventory
- Operate quietly enough for residential care environments
- Provide immediate, dependable backup during service interruptions
- Prevent costly food loss and downtime
For administrators and dietary managers, having access to fast emergency support gives peace of mind — especially during extreme weather, holiday surges, or unpredictable equipment breakdowns.
