Martinez, CA Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations
A closed kitchen in Martinez does not have to close meal service: we rent mobile commercial kitchens, with commercial dishwashing and emergency refrigerated trailers to back them up. The same team handles emergency feeding after an equipment failure and planned rentals for renovation or construction work. Short-term, monthly and long-term rental terms are matched to the repair or the project. Renters in this area include nursing homes, jails and manufacturers. We work out the delivery route, the pad and the connections with your facility contacts. Call or send a request to check availability in Martinez or Pleasant Hill.

Kitchen trailers for rent in Martinez, CA
Emergency food service in Martinez often starts with one question: where will the next meal be cooked? A commercial kitchen trailer on a level pad gives the answer while the permanent kitchen is out of action. If the work spills into Pleasant Hill, 4 miles from here, or into Benicia, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.
Common choices include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 40ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.
Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Martinez
If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 300A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Lafayette, 7 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
Emergency refrigeration for Martinez means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. A walk-in that fails in Walnut Creek starts the same clock on the stock inside.
A typical January night in Contra Costa County drops to 40°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 86°F, and the county gets about 19 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 4 degrees warmer 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.
Industries we serve around Martinez
Kitchen requests in Martinez tend to fall into a few groups: nursing homes, jails, manufacturers and golf clubs. Our industry pages explain what each group usually needs and how a rental is planned around it. Care homes in Orinda and school kitchens in Hercules, places of about 19,573 residents and about 26,499 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.
CMS lists 8 hospitals in Contra Costa County, including Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, John Muir Behavioral Health Center, John Muir Medical Center - Concord Campus and John Muir Medical Center - Walnut Creek Campus. Certified nursing care adds 30 homes and roughly 2,916 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 278 public schools with about 167,630 students, in districts such as San Ramon Valley Unified, Mt. Diablo Unified and West Contra Costa Unified.
- Nursing Home and Assisted Living Kitchen Rentals: equipment failure in an older kitchen that cannot be repaired quickly
- Jail and Detention Center Kitchen Trailer Rentals: renovation work that must be phased without stopping meals
- Manufacturing Plant Cafeteria Kitchen Rentals: plant shutdowns and turnarounds that bring in extra contractors
- Golf Course and Country Club Kitchen Trailer Rentals: member dining and event service that continue during construction
Local conditions and rental planning in Martinez
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Martinez
OpenFEMA lists 19 disaster declarations that include Contra Costa County, going back to 1969. The most frequent incident types were flooding (8 declarations) and severe storms (6 declarations). Pleasant Hill has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4683), declared January 14, 2023, with the incident beginning December 27, 2022. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 8, severe storms 6, coastal storm 2, hurricane 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1980s 5, 1990s 5, 2000s 2, 2010s 3 and 2020s 2. Earlier declarations include Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4308, April 1, 2017), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4305, March 16, 2017), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4301, February 14, 2017) and Severe Storms, Flooding, Mudslides, and Landslides (DR-1628, February 3, 2006).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 60 county-based severe-weather event records for Contra Costa County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (57) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (3). Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.
NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Contra Costa County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Alameda County, about 19 miles away, where the Little fire burned 1,078 acres in 2026.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Major construction near Martinez
Since October 2021, 60 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Contra Costa County as the place of work. In July 2018, the Department of Defense awarded a $97 million contract for “Repair/Upgrade Pier 2 Main Platform Deck Structure, Motco, Concord CA” in Contra Costa County, with work running to May 2021 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $85 million Department of Defense contract, “Containerized Ammunition Holding Facilities,” starting February 2026 in Contra Costa County (award record). The Department of Veterans Affairs committed $23 million to “Parking Structure (Design-Build) Martinez, CA: Implementing Eo 14398 Dei Discrimination” in Contra Costa County, awarded September 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Johnson Road Elect, Comm, Lighting,” a $18 million Department of Defense contract from September 2019 in Contra Costa 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 Benicia (about 26,477 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Martinez
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Contra Costa County. The nearest is in Alameda County, about 19 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $31 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Alameda Child Development Center Major Maintenance and Repair (M&R) and Expansion Project,” starting September 2026 in Alameda County (award record). The Department of Agriculture committed $7.3 million to “4 Part Construction Project to Upgrade Boilers at the Albany, CA Wrrc” in Alameda County, awarded September 2026 (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. Concord is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Emergency access and staging near Martinez
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in California. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. Staging and access details differ again in Lafayette, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
