Kitchen trailers for rent in Mullan, ID
For Mullan, 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 Osburn (about 1,678 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Common choices include the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A), the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

Mullan: emergencies, projects, access and costs
What past disasters mean for kitchens in Mullan
Since 1964, Shoshone County has been named in 14 FEMA declarations; flooding (6 declarations) and severe storms (4 declarations) lead the list. Osburn has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Straight-Line Winds (major disaster declaration, DR-4905), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 16, 2025. Whatever the cause, the practical problem is the same: crews and facilities need cooking, dishwashing and cold storage while normal operations are down. By incident type, the count is flooding 6, severe storms 4, straight-line winds 1, hurricane 1 and volcanic eruption 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 3, 2000s 2, 2010s 2 and 2020s 3. Earlier declarations include Severe Storm, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4789, June 10, 2024), Straight-Line Winds (DR-4589, March 4, 2021), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4313, May 18, 2017), Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-1987, May 20, 2011) and Flooding (DR-1781, July 31, 2008).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 14 county-based severe-weather event records for Shoshone County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (11) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (3). NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $385,000, from a flood in March 2017. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.
Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 7 large wildfires beginning in Shoshone County, about 34,484 acres in all. Deceitful (Character Complex) (2021, 12,364 acres) was the largest, and Ulm Creek (2025) the most recent. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Infrastructure work around Mullan
Since October 2021, 5 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Shoshone County as the place of work. In September 2020, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $1.5 million contract for “Kit Price Campground Improvements” in Shoshone County, with work running to July 2022 (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Kellogg, about 2,441 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Rebuilds and remodels around Mullan
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Shoshone County. The nearest is in Kootenai County, about 44 miles away. The Department of Defense committed $1.7 million to “Building 4908 and 4915 Repair to Fire Suppression System at Fort Sill, Oklahoma” in Kootenai County, awarded October 2024 (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. A remodel in Pinehurst would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.
Emergency access and staging near Mullan
In Idaho, the Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM) 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 St. Maries, look to the agencies covering Benewah County rather than assuming the same routes.
Shoshone Medical Center, a critical access hospital is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Kellogg, about 16 miles from Mullan in a straight line.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Mullan
A quote for Mullan is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995. Prices may vary. Dalton Gardens is quoted on the same factors, but at 49 miles away a different address can change delivery and setup terms.
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.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Mullan
If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 220A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in St. Maries, 38 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. In Dalton Gardens, where Kootenai County has 16 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.
A typical January night in Shoshone County drops to 22°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 77°F, and the county gets about 48 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 4 degrees warmer than the average Idaho county. Frequent rain makes ground conditions the main delivery question, more than distance or trailer length.
