Imperial, CA Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers

A short-term kitchen rental after a failure and a long-term kitchen lease during a rebuild start the same way: a mobile kitchen for Imperial is matched to the menu, the crew and the power available. El Centro is only 4 miles away, with about 44,230 residents, and Brawley about 10 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

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

Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Imperial facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Calexico, 12 miles from here, as it does here.

A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. A call about emergency refrigeration from Westmorland starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Imperial County at 45°F and the average July high at 107°F, with about 3 inches of precipitation a year. January lows run about 9 degrees warmer than the average California county. At those temperatures a refrigerated trailer's condenser needs clear airflow, and shade or a short pad near a building helps both cooling and the crews working beside it.

Calipatria (about 6,522 residents) and Coachella (about 45,165 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

Moving the job to La Quinta or Indio changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.

• Entry: tell us if the door needs a ramp or stairs; the setup times differ.
• Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
• Contacts: name the person who will meet the delivery and the person who will approve the setup.
