Commercial kitchen trailers for Roberts

When a permanent kitchen in Roberts is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. Rigby is only 11 miles away, with about 5,683 residents, and Ucon about 12 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

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.

Care homes in Ammon and school kitchens in Sugar City, places of about 20,095 residents and about 2,395 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

Local conditions and rental planning in Roberts

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Roberts

Since 1976, Jefferson County has been named in 4 FEMA declarations; flooding (2 declarations) and hurricane (1 declaration) lead the list. Rigby has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Severe Winter Storms and Flooding (major disaster declaration, DR-4310), declared April 21, 2017, with the incident beginning February 5, 2017. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 2, hurricane 1 and severe storms 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 1 and 2010s 1. The records also list Hurricane Katrina (EM-3244, September 13, 2005), Severe Storms, Snowmelt, Land/Mud Slides, Flooding (DR-1177, June 13, 1997) and Dam Collapse, Flooding (DR-505, June 6, 1976).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 120 county-based event records for Jefferson County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 113 of them, flood events for 7. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $2.4 million, from a flood in February 2017. High wind rarely wrecks a kitchen directly. It cuts the power to it, and the walk-in cooler is the first thing to suffer.

The National Interagency Fire Center maps 1 wildfire of 1,000 acres or more that started in Jefferson County since 2016, together covering about 2,142 acres. The largest was the Big Rock fire in 2026, at 2,142 acres. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Construction projects and crew meals near Roberts

Since October 2021, 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Jefferson County as the place of work. USASpending.gov shows a $745,000 Department of the Interior contract, “GAOA PV System for Camas NWR,” starting September 2021 in Jefferson County (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A project in Ucon, about 1,218 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Roberts

Another public record is “GAOA - Water Delivery System Upgrade for Camas NWR,” a $8.4 million Department of the Interior contract from September 2021 in Jefferson County (award record). The closure date drives the plan in Iona too.

Getting emergency equipment into Roberts

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. For work in Idaho Falls, look to the agencies covering Bonneville County rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Mountain View Hospital, in Idaho Falls, about 17 miles from Roberts in a straight line.

Pricing a mobile kitchen for Roberts

A quote for Roberts is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995 and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995. Prices may vary. Rexburg is quoted on the same factors, but at 18 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 Roberts

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Roberts sites. Idaho Falls, 17 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Roberts is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. Rexburg sits in Madison County, which has 3 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

Climate normals for Jefferson County run from an average January low of 10°F to an average July high of 87°F, with roughly 10 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 8 degrees colder than the average Idaho county. Hard freezes are routine, so the water hookup is planned with heat tape or an insulated hose, and wastewater lines are kept from freezing between uses.

Site checklist for Roberts

Sites in Shelley, 24 miles away, and St. Anthony use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.

  • Drainage: decide where wastewater goes, whether a sewer connection, a tank or scheduled pump-out.
  • Electrical: confirm the service matches the model, for example 220V single phase at 200 to 220A for the 40ft kitchens.
  • People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.

The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
