Kitchen trailers for rent in Hill County
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 Hill County is matched to the menu, the crew and the power available. If the work spills into Havre or Havre, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.
Match the trailer to the menu: the 24ft Mobile Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.
Before delivery, confirm the pad, the electrical service, potable water and a wastewater route. Hill County environmental health or the local health authority usually reviews a temporary kitchen, and their requirements vary, so involve them early. Short-term rentals cover outages and events; long-term leasing suits renovations and projects that run for many months. Health rules are set locally, so a kitchen in Havre or Havre may face different steps than one here.

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Hill County
Since 1986, Hill County has been named in 11 FEMA declarations; severe storms (5 declarations) and flooding (4 declarations) lead the list. Havre has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.
The most recent is Severe Winter Storm and Flooding (major disaster declaration, DR-4801), declared July 18, 2024, with the incident beginning May 6, 2024. Severe storms interrupt power, roads and deliveries together, which is hard on any operation that serves meals on a schedule. By incident type, the count is severe storms 5, flooding 4, hurricane 1 and wildfire 1. By decade: 1980s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 3, 2010s 4 and 2020s 2. Earlier declarations include Flooding (DR-4726, August 12, 2023), Flooding (DR-4388, August 30, 2018), Flooding (DR-4127, July 10, 2013), Severe Storms and Flooding (DR-1996, June 17, 2011) and Severe Storms and Flooding (DR-1922, July 10, 2010).
Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 80 county-based event records in Hill County, with high-wind and thunderstorm events the most common at 77. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $2 million, from a flood in April 2023. High wind rarely wrecks a kitchen directly. It cuts the power to it, and the walk-in cooler is the first thing to suffer.
No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Hill County in NIFC's records since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Blaine County, about 54 miles away, where the Pine Grove fire burned 16,004 acres in 2021.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Major construction near Hill County
Since October 2021, 5 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Hill County as the place of work. The Department of Homeland Security committed $564,000 to “Convert Tech Building Into Office Space + Replace the Key System, Havre, MT” in Hill County, awarded September 2025 (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A job in Havre (about 9,204 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Hill County
USASpending.gov shows a $564,000 Department of Homeland Security contract, “Convert Tech Building Into Office Space + Replace the Key System, Havre, MT,” starting September 2025 in Hill County (award record). Whoever remodels in Havre starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
Getting emergency equipment into Hill County
The Montana Disaster and Emergency Services (DES) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Montana. 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 Havre, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Hill County
There is no single price for every job in Hill County. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995 and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995, and they may vary. A kitchen for Havre 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 and emergency refrigeration in Hill County
If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, 3 phase, 200A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Kitchens in Havre hit the same wall when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
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. A call about emergency refrigeration from Havre starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.
A typical January night in Hill County drops to 5°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 84°F, and the county gets about 13 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 7 degrees colder 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.
