Rancho Mirage, CA Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers

When a permanent kitchen in Rancho Mirage is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. If the work spills into Palm Desert, 4 miles from here, or into Cathedral City, 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 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 300A) handles trays, plates and pans so Rancho Mirage kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Indian Wells, 7 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Rancho Mirage 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 Indio starts the same clock on the stock inside.

Climate normals for Riverside County run from an average January low of 42°F to an average July high of 101°F, with roughly 8 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 6 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.

• Approvals: the local health authority for Riverside County decides what review a temporary kitchen needs, so ask first.
• Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.
• Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
