Commercial kitchen trailers for Jackson
For Jackson, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. A project that crosses into Sutter Creek (about 2,709 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
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, 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.
Industries we serve around Jackson
Rental customers in Jackson are commercial, institutional and public: disaster-response teams, jails, school districts and golf clubs.

Galt (about 26,589 residents) and Rancho Cordova (about 84,113 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

Jackson: emergencies, projects, access and costs
What past disasters mean for kitchens in Jackson
Federal records show Amador County designated in 19 declarations since 1964, led by severe storms (9 declarations) and flooding (6 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Sutter Creek as well; its own declaration history is listed there.
The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4699), declared April 3, 2023, with the incident beginning February 21, 2023. Severe storms interrupt power, roads and deliveries together, which is hard on any operation that serves meals on a schedule. By incident type, the count is severe storms 9, flooding 6, wildfire 2, hurricane 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 4, 2000s 3, 2010s 4 and 2020s 4. Earlier declarations include Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3592, March 10, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4683, January 14, 2023), Caldor Fire (EM-3571, September 1, 2021), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4434, May 17, 2019) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4308, April 1, 2017).
Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 15 county-based event records for Amador County; flood events account for 10 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 5. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.
Amador County is the origin of 1 mapped wildfire of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 4,470 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, Electra, burned 4,470 acres in 2022. Crews fighting and rebuilding after a fire eat on site for weeks, and the kitchens that fed the town may be the ones that lost power.
FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.
Construction projects and crew meals near Jackson
USASpending.gov shows no federal construction contract of $500,000 or more with Amador County as the place of work since October 2021. The nearest is in El Dorado County, about 25 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $4.7 million Department of Agriculture contract, “To Repair Roads Damaged by Fire Suppression Activites Within the Caldor Fire,” starting August 2024 in El Dorado County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A job in Ione (about 9,411 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Jackson
Renovating school cafeterias, senior centers and municipal buildings often means closing a kitchen for months. A facility in Jackson facing that kind of work could rent a mobile kitchen for the duration, keeping meal service open while the permanent kitchen is rebuilt. Plymouth is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Treat this as a planning example, not a record of past work.
Getting emergency equipment into Jackson
In California, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) works with counties on emergency operations. Official staging areas and the roads that connect them to local emergency-management hubs are published by those agencies and should be checked there. For work in Angels, look to the agencies covering Calaveras County rather than assuming the same routes.
By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Jackson is Sutter Amador Hospital, in Jackson itself.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Jackson
A quote for Jackson is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995 and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995. Prices may vary. A kitchen for Placerville, 26 miles from here, is built from the same quote, with delivery adjusted for the address.
Starting prices are guides, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery, setup and utilities. A written quote states the equipment, the rental period and what is included.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Jackson
Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Jackson 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 Angels, 23 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 LT Refrigerated Trailer lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. In Placerville, where El Dorado County has 25 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.
A typical January night in Amador County drops to 36°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 91°F, and the county gets about 36 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 3 degrees hotter than the average California county. A mixed climate means a kitchen trailer sees freezing mornings and hot afternoons in the same year, and the setup allows for both.
Site checklist for Jackson
Sites in Folsom, 30 miles away, and Lodi use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.
- Contacts: name the person who will meet the delivery and the person who will approve the setup.
- Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
- Entry: tell us if the door needs a ramp or stairs; the setup times differ.
The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
