Temporary kitchen rental for Belgrade facilities
A short-term kitchen rental after a failure and a long-term kitchen lease during a rebuild start the same way: a mobile kitchen for Belgrade is matched to the menu, the crew and the power available. A project that crosses into Bozeman (about 57,894 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.
Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Belgrade
Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer and the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Belgrade sites. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Livingston, 31 miles from here, as it does here.
Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Belgrade, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F gives product somewhere cold to go. Ennis sits in Madison County, which has 5 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.
A typical January night in Gallatin County drops to 13°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 78°F, and the county gets about 24 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 4 degrees cooler than the average Montana county. With nights that cold, a kitchen trailer needs heated or insulated water lines, and a refrigerated trailer should not be asked to hold product warm against freezing air.
Industries we serve around Belgrade
Expect requests in Belgrade from hotels, municipal agencies, jails and school districts. A hotel kitchen rental is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Care homes in Townsend and school kitchens in Whitehall, places of about 2,209 residents and about 1,116 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.
CMS lists 2 hospitals in Gallatin County, 1 of them critical access: Bozeman Health Big Sky Medical Center and Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital. Certified nursing care adds 1 home and roughly 69 beds. Public schools here number 47, enrolling about 14,228 students, with Bozeman Elem, Bozeman H S and Belgrade Elem among the larger districts (NCES).

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Belgrade
Federal records show Gallatin County designated in 7 declarations since 1981, led by wildfire (3 declarations) and severe storms (2 declarations). A project that reaches Bozeman should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.
The most recent is Bridger Foothills Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5346), declared September 5, 2020. Wildfire response brings long shifts for responders and rebuilding crews, and smoke or utility loss can take permanent kitchens out of service. The latest major disaster declaration is Severe Winter Storms (DR-1385), declared July 7, 2001. By incident type, the count is wildfire 3, severe storms 2, hurricane 1 and flooding 1. By decade: 1980s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 4 and 2020s 1. The records also list Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3253, September 13, 2005), Wildfires (DR-1340, August 30, 2000), Mt - South Central Zone 4 Fire Complex (FM-2321, August 16, 2000), Severe Storms, Flooding, and Ice Jams (DR-1105, February 23, 1996) and Severe Storms & Flooding (DR-640, May 27, 1981).
Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 57 county-based event records for Gallatin County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 54 of them, flood events for 3. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in April 2023, with about $1 million in property damage. High wind rarely wrecks a kitchen directly. It cuts the power to it, and the walk-in cooler is the first thing to suffer.
NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Gallatin County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Madison County, about 39 miles away, where the Goose fire burned 7,522 acres in 2021.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Construction projects and crew meals near Belgrade
USASpending.gov lists 18 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Gallatin County since October 2021, worth about $30 million together. Another public record is “GAOA MT Custer Gallatin:yellowstone Shortline(Rail)trail Partnershp (1ab) C,” a $4.2 million Department of Agriculture contract from April 2022 in Gallatin County (award record). In October 2026, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $3.8 million contract for “Fairy Lake Phase 2 Road and Recreation Improvements on the Custer Gallatin National Forest” in Gallatin County, with work running to October 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $3.7 million Department of Agriculture contract, “Task Order Award for Trail Bridge Replacements, Custer Gallatin National Forest, Montana,” starting February 2024 in Gallatin County (award record). The Department of Agriculture committed $2.1 million to “Erfo Red Lodge Area Bridge Replacements & Road Repairs Wpap 675015” in Gallatin County, awarded March 2024 (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 Manhattan, about 2,068 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Belgrade
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Gallatin County. The nearest is in Broadwater County, about 58 miles away. In October 2020, the Department of the Interior awarded a $536,000 contract for “MT - Canyon Ferry Powerplant(Cfpp) Roof Replacement” in Broadwater County, with work running to March 2022 (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. The closure date drives the plan in Three Forks too.
Emergency equipment access around Belgrade
In Montana, the Montana Disaster and Emergency Services (DES) 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. Staging and access details differ again in Livingston, in Park County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital, in Bozeman, about 9 miles from Belgrade in a straight line.
Local rental costs in Belgrade
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Belgrade include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995 and the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. A kitchen for Ennis, 40 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.
