Mobile commercial kitchen rental in Orofino

For Orofino, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. Kamiah is only 21 miles away, with about 1,163 residents, and Lapwai about 27 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.

Industries we serve around Orofino

Who rents a mobile kitchen near Orofino? Mostly school districts, jails, construction crews and municipal agencies, along with contractors and public agencies. The need is usually the same: a working kitchen while the permanent one is unavailable. Care homes in Moscow and school kitchens in St. Maries, places of about 26,894 residents and about 2,487 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

CMS lists one hospital in Clearwater County: Clearwater Valley Hospital & Clinics, a critical access hospital. Certified nursing care adds 1 home and roughly 60 beds. Public schools here number 7, enrolling about 1,061 students, with Orofino Joint District among the larger districts (NCES).

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Orofino

OpenFEMA lists 13 disaster declarations that include Clearwater County, going back to 1964. The most frequent incident types were flooding (4 declarations) and severe storms (3 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Kamiah as well; Lewis County has 10 federal declarations on record.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4917), declared June 30, 2026, with the incident beginning March 11, 2026. Storm damage and long power outages can shut kitchens and warm the contents of walk-in coolers within hours. By incident type, the count is flooding 4, severe storms 3, wildfire 3, straight-line winds 1 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 2, 2000s 2, 2010s 3 and 2020s 2. The records also list Straight-Line Winds (DR-4905, April 7, 2026), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4313, May 18, 2017), Municipal Fire (FM-5105, August 15, 2015), Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-1987, May 20, 2011) and Hurricane Katrina (EM-3244, September 13, 2005).

Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 4 county-based event records in Clearwater County, with flood events the most common at 3. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $3 million, from a flood in March 2017. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 11 large wildfires beginning in Clearwater County, about 28,601 acres in all. Moose Mountain (2026, 5,832 acres) was the largest. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Construction projects and crew meals near Orofino

Since October 2021, 7 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Clearwater County as the place of work. In May 2025, the Department of Defense awarded a $5.5 million contract for “Dwa Construction for the Dnfh Electrical Distribution Building” in Clearwater County, with work running to July 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $975,000 Department of Defense contract, “Dwa Dent Acres & Lla Lewiston Levies Repaving,” starting August 2024 in Clearwater County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $852,000 to “Dwa - Fish Hatchery Bio-Filters Removal” in Clearwater County, awarded January 2024 (award record). Another public record is “Remove Existing Smolt Release Pipe & Replace,” a $621,000 Department of Defense contract from September 2023 in Clearwater County (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 Lapwai, about 1,249 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Orofino

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Clearwater County. The nearest is in Latah County, about 52 miles away. The Department of Agriculture committed $639,000 to “Remove and Replace Existing Chiller” in Latah County, awarded October 2024 (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. Whoever remodels in Genesee starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Emergency access and staging near Orofino

The Idaho Office of Emergency Management (IOEM) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Idaho. 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 Lewiston, in Nez Perce County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Orofino is Clearwater Valley Hospital & Clinics, a critical access hospital, in Orofino itself.

Pricing a mobile kitchen for Orofino

There is no single price for every job in Orofino. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995, and they may vary. A kitchen for Grangeville, 39 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.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Orofino

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Orofino sites. Lewiston, 36 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Orofino 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. In Grangeville, where Idaho County has 16 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

Climate normals for Clearwater County run from an average January low of 22°F to an average July high of 79°F, with roughly 46 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 4 degrees warmer than the average Idaho county. In a wet climate the pad has to drain, so a rental kitchen is placed on firm, graded ground with a dry route for deliveries.

Site checklist for Orofino

Sites near Plummer and Osburn start from this same list, then adjust for their own pad, power and permits.

  • Drainage: decide where wastewater goes, whether a sewer connection, a tank or scheduled pump-out.
  • Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
  • Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.

See the site planning guides for power, water, wastewater and placement detail.
