Pinesdale, MT Mobile Commercial Kitchen Trailer Rentals

When a permanent kitchen in Pinesdale is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. Hamilton is only 6 miles away, with about 5,383 residents, and Stevensville about 14 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 28ft Mobile Kitchen and 24ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 220A. Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, 54 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Pinesdale is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. In Deer Lodge, where Powell County has 15 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Ravalli County at 17°F and the average July high at 77°F, with about 29 inches of precipitation a year. January lows run about 5 degrees warmer than the average Montana 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.
