Mobile commercial kitchen rental in Sheridan

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 Sheridan is matched to the menu, the crew and the power available. If the work spills into Ennis, 24 miles from here, or into Dillon, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Common choices include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A) and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

Industries we serve around Sheridan

Kitchen requests in Sheridan tend to fall into a few groups: construction crews, manufacturers, municipal agencies and school districts. Our industry pages explain what each group usually needs and how a rental is planned around it. Care homes in Manhattan and school kitchens in Boulder, places of about 2,068 residents and about 1,305 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

Local conditions and rental planning in Sheridan

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Sheridan

Since 1997, Madison County has been named in 5 FEMA declarations; severe storms (2 declarations) and wildfire (2 declarations) lead the list. A project that reaches Ennis should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Severe Storms and Flooding (major disaster declaration, DR-1996), declared June 17, 2011, with the incident beginning April 4, 2011. 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 2, wildfire 2 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1990s 1, 2000s 3 and 2010s 1. Before that came Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3253, September 13, 2005), Wildfires (DR-1340, August 30, 2000), Mt - Central Zone 3C Fire Complex (FM-2318, August 8, 2000) and Severe Storms,Ice Jams, Snow Melt, Flooding (DR-1183, July 25, 1997).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 26 county-based event records for Madison County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 21 of them, flood events for 5. 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 8 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Madison County since 2016, together covering about 25,989 acres. The largest was the Goose fire in 2021, at 7,522 acres. Crews fighting and rebuilding after a fire eat on site for weeks, and the kitchens that fed the town may be the ones that lost power.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Infrastructure work around Sheridan

USASpending.gov shows no federal construction contract of $500,000 or more with Madison County as the place of work since October 2021. The nearest is in Gallatin County, about 39 miles away. In April 2022, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $4.2 million contract for “GAOA MT Custer Gallatin:yellowstone Shortline(Rail)trail Partnershp (1ab) C” in Gallatin County, with work running to October 2023 (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 Dillon, about 4,242 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Sheridan

When school kitchens, community halls and care facilities in Sheridan are remodeled, food service rarely stops for the project. A temporary kitchen on a long-term lease is the usual way to keep it running. Whitehall is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.

This is a planning example, not a past customer.

Emergency equipment access around Sheridan

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 Butte-Silver Bow (balance), in Silver Bow County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Ruby Valley Medical Center, a critical access hospital, in Sheridan itself.

Pricing a mobile kitchen for Sheridan

Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Sheridan include the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. A kitchen for Three Forks, 43 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.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Sheridan

Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Sheridan facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer. Butte-Silver Bow (balance), 38 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Sheridan is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. Three Forks sits in Gallatin County, which has 7 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

Climate normals for Madison County run from an average January low of 14°F to an average July high of 77°F, with roughly 23 inches of precipitation yearly. July highs run about 5 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.

Prepare your Sheridan site before delivery

Moving the job to Belgrade or Bozeman changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.

  • Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
  • Health review: ask Madison County environmental health or the local authority what a temporary kitchen needs to be approved.
  • Timing: share your start date and rental period so the quote reflects the real schedule.

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

We confirm the exact unit and price in a written quote.
