Chico, CA Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations

For Chico, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. If the work spills into Paradise, 11 miles from here, or into Orland, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Chico sites. Oroville, 23 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Chico means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. A walk-in that fails in Biggs starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Butte County drops to 37°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 93°F, and the county gets about 44 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 5 degrees hotter than the average California county. Frequent rain makes ground conditions the main delivery question, more than distance or trailer length.
