Garden City, ID Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

For Garden City, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. Boise City is only 6 miles away, with about 237,963 residents, and Meridian about 7 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Common choices include the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A), the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 220A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Star, 10 miles from here, as it does here.

Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Garden City, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer gives product somewhere cold to go. A walk-in that fails in Kuna starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Ada County drops to 24°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 92°F, and the county gets about 12 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 6 degrees warmer than the average Idaho county. In dry country the water supply for the kitchen is the question to settle first, along with where wastewater will be held or hauled.

Care homes in Nampa and school kitchens in Middleton, places of about 117,350 residents and about 11,730 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.
