Emergency Food Service: Mobile Commercial Kitchen Trailer Rentals Across the USA
When a hospital kitchen closes for renovation, a crew camp sits hours from a restaurant, or a walk-in freezer quits at midnight, meals and cold storage still have to keep going. Emergency Commercial Mobile Kitchen Service USA rents mobile commercial kitchen trailers across the United States, with commercial dishwashing trailers and emergency refrigerated trailers as supporting services. Our emergency food service handles breakdowns, fires and floods around the clock, and the same trailers support planned renovation and construction work. Short-term and long-term rentals run from one week to monthly terms, so a two-week outage and a six-month rebuild are both covered. Hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, hotels, contractors and public agencies rent from us. We coordinate delivery, placement and setup with your site team. Call or request a quote to check availability for your project, from Seattle and Portland to Phoenix and Denver.

The trailerCommercial Trailer Rental Products & Services
Mobile commercial kitchen trailer rentals
A mobile commercial kitchen trailer is a temporary food-production facility used when an existing kitchen is unavailable because of renovation, construction, equipment failure, fire, flood or a surge in demand. It carries ranges, ovens, griddles, sinks, prep space and refrigeration in one trailer that connects to power and water on a level pad beside the building.
Seven kitchen configurations run from 24 to 40 feet. The 24ft and 28ft mobile kitchens suit smaller operations such as a school cafeteria in Boise City, a nursing home kitchen outside Salt Lake City or a crew meal service near Billings. The 38ft adds a deep fryer, and the 40ft adds double-stack convection ovens, a deep fryer and a tilting skillet for hospital and campus kitchens in places like Seattle and Denver.
Combo kitchens, such as the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen, add a walk-in cooler so cold storage travels with the cooking line. Bulk kitchens, the 40ft Bulk Kitchen and 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen, are built around kettles, tilting skillets and stacked ovens for institutions cooking from scratch for hundreds, from correctional facilities to universities.
Mobile kitchen trailers are available as short-term emergency rentals, monthly rentals and long-term leases. Typical electrical service is 220V single phase at 200 to 220A. Plan potable water and a wastewater route, and ask your local health authority what a temporary kitchen needs; requirements vary by jurisdiction. Browse all mobile kitchen trailers for equipment lists and electrical requirements.
Commercial dishwashing trailer rentals
A commercial dishwashing trailer is a temporary warewashing facility with a dish machine, soil and scraping areas, sinks and storage. It keeps trays and pans moving when a kitchen runs at volume, so facilities do not fall back on disposables. Options range from a push-through low-temperature unit in 22, 24 and 26ft lengths to 38ft conveyor trailers in low-temperature and high-temperature versions. See the dishwashing trailer rentals page.
Emergency refrigerated trailer rentals
An emergency refrigerated trailer is temporary cold storage for the day a commercial walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down. Product starts warming the moment a compressor stops, so call the 24-hour line, give the address and describe the failure. We rent 20ft units at 32°F, 15°F and -5°F; availability depends on the unit and your location. Read more on emergency refrigeration rentals.

Industries We Serve
Every industry needs the same thing in a different way. Here is the problem each one is usually trying to solve.
Healthcare
Hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living and medical centers cannot pause meals. A hospital kitchen rental keeps patient and staff dining running through a renovation or an equipment failure, for example at a medical campus in Seattle or Phoenix.
Education
School cafeterias and university dining halls close for summer work that runs late. A school cafeteria kitchen rental or a campus temporary kitchen keeps breakfast and lunch on schedule around Portland and Boise City.
Correctional facilities
Prisons, jails and detention centers must serve every meal on time. A correctional facility temporary kitchen adds secure, high-volume capacity when the production kitchen is rebuilt.
Government and military
Agencies, bases and public institutions use government facility kitchen rentals and military base kitchens for planned upgrades and emergency feeding, from Cheyenne to Anchorage.
Hospitality
Hotels, resorts, casinos and conference centers keep banquets and room service running with a hotel kitchen rental during remodels, from Las Vegas resorts to Honolulu hotels.
Golf and catering
Clubhouses, caterers and event operators rent a country club kitchen trailer or catering kitchen for tournaments and peak seasons near Albuquerque and beyond.

Plan Your Trailer Site Before Delivery
Most delays are site problems, not trailer problems. Settling these before delivery gets a kitchen cooking sooner.
Electricity
Requirements vary by unit: 200A on the 24ft and 28ft kitchens, 200 to 220A on larger ones, 150A to 300A on dishwashing trailers and 40 to 60A on refrigerated trailers. Never assume one unit's requirement applies to another. See power requirements.
Potable water and wastewater
Kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a clean supply and a plan for wastewater: sewer, holding tank or pump-out. Read water and wastewater planning.
Placement, ramps and stairs
A level pad, a clear approach for the trailer length and room for deliveries. A ramp takes 4 to 6 hours to set and stairs 5 to 15 minutes. See delivery and placement and ramps and stairs.
Permitting
Health, building, fire or temporary-use approvals depend on the location, the facility and the intended use. No single permit applies everywhere. See health permits.
Supporting Services for Temporary Kitchen Projects
A kitchen rarely works alone. A temporary kitchen that keeps reusable trays in use usually needs a separate dishwashing trailer. A kitchen that stores perishable food on site may need an emergency refrigerated trailer. And a site with no sewer connection needs a wastewater plan before anyone cooks.
- Dishwashing trailers for institutional warewashing.
- Emergency refrigerated trailers for failed walk-in coolers and freezers.
- Ramp and stair setup for trailer entry, with the access planning in the site planning guides.
- Wastewater arrangements such as holding tanks or bladder bags, planned with your site team.
- Project plans for renovations, crew feeding and disaster response.

Local Conditions That Shape Kitchen Rentals
Past emergencies and recovery needs
OpenFEMA lists 1,684 disaster declarations across the 13 states covered so far since 1953, led by wildfire (1,140), flooding (247) and severe storms (164). The latest is Severe Storms and Flooding (emergency declaration, EM-3660), declared October 26, 2026. Wildfire smoke, flooding, quakes and winter storms close kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, so a facility in Los Angeles, Seattle or Denver benefits from knowing its options before an outage. Declarations are federal designations for areas, not records of damage at a given address. Source: OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries v2, retrieved October 30, 2026.
Major construction
Highway, transit, hospital and utility projects across the country put large crews far from restaurants. A project like that near Phoenix or Salt Lake City could use a rented kitchen, dishwashing trailer and cold storage on a lease that matches the schedule. This is a planning example, not a project we have served.
Major renovation
Hospital wings, school cafeterias, hotel kitchens and government buildings close kitchens for months when they are remodeled. A facility around Las Vegas or Portland facing that could lease a mobile kitchen for the duration. This is a planning example, not a past customer.
Emergency equipment access
Each state's emergency-management agency and its counties publish official staging areas and access routes for disaster response, and those details change. This page does not draw a route. Delivery to your site is a separate arrangement: give the address, access limits and any closures when you call.
Local rental costs
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery, setup and the utilities on site. Starting prices run from $1,495 for emergency refrigerated trailers and $4,995 for the 24ft mobile kitchen, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery and setup. A written quote states the equipment, term, delivery, collection and setup terms and exclusions. Read what affects rental cost or use the rental planning form.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial trailers can I rent?
Mobile commercial kitchen trailers from 24 to 40 feet, commercial dishwashing trailers in push-through and conveyor styles, and emergency 20ft refrigerated trailers. Kitchens come as standard, combo with a walk-in cooler, and bulk configurations.
What size kitchen trailer do I need?
It depends on meals per service, the menu and the power on site. The 24ft and 28ft models suit smaller kitchens, the 38ft and 40ft models add capacity, and bulk kitchens suit scratch cooking for hundreds. Compare the equipment lists on the model pages.
Can I rent a temporary kitchen during a renovation?
Yes. Renovation is the main use. Rentals start at one week and run monthly, with long-term leases for renovations that last months.
What utilities does a kitchen trailer need?
Electrical service of 220V single phase, 200A on the 24ft and 28ft models and 200 to 220A on the larger ones, plus potable water and a wastewater route. Each model page lists its requirement.
What dishwashing trailer do I need?
A compact push-through low-temperature unit suits smaller kitchens. Conveyor trailers in low-temperature and high-temperature versions suit high volumes. Their electrical needs differ from 150A to 300A, and the 30ft model is listed on three-phase power.
How is wastewater handled?
Depending on the site: a sewer connection, a holding tank with scheduled pump-out, or another approved arrangement. The right option depends on local rules and the site.
Do temporary kitchens need permits?
Usually the local health authority reviews temporary food-service facilities, and requirements vary by state, county and city. We can supply equipment lists to support your submission.
Can multiple trailers be installed at one site?
Yes. A kitchen, a dishwashing trailer and refrigerated storage are often placed together once power, water and access are checked.
Which states do you serve?
Rentals are available across the USA. State, county and city guides cover 13 states so far: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii. Availability depends on the unit and your location.
Can you support emergency projects?
Yes. The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call with the address and the failure, and we will talk through the equipment and the site. Delivery time depends on the unit, the location and conditions.
