Kitchen trailers for rent in Cornelius, OR

Temporary commercial kitchen rental in Cornelius covers a wide range of jobs, from a cafeteria rebuild to a crew that needs hot meals every shift. If the work spills into Forest Grove, 3 miles from here, or into Hillsboro, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.

Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Cornelius

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 300A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Banks, 7 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Cornelius is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. A walk-in that fails in Beaverton starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Washington County drops to 35°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 78°F, and the county gets about 56 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 6 degrees warmer than the average Oregon county. In a wet climate the pad has to drain, so a rental kitchen is placed on firm, graded ground with a dry route for deliveries.

Who rents kitchen trailers in Cornelius

Rental customers in Cornelius are commercial, institutional and public: school districts, nursing homes, hospitals and golf clubs. Each has its own pressure points, from a school cafeteria kitchen rental during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Yamhill (about 1,215 residents) and King City (about 5,002 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services counts 5 hospitals in Washington County, among them Cedar Hills Hospital, Hillsboro Medical Center, Kaiser Foundation Hospital Westside and Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center. Certified nursing care adds 9 homes and roughly 910 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 136 public schools with about 80,000 students, in districts such as Beaverton Sd 48J, Hillsboro Sd 1J and Tigard-Tualatin Sd 23J.

Cornelius: emergencies, projects, access and costs

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Cornelius

Federal records show Washington County designated in 15 declarations since 1964, led by wildfire (5 declarations) and severe storms (4 declarations). A project that reaches Forest Grove should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Lee Falls Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5529), declared August 9, 2024, with the incident beginning August 8, 2024. Evacuations, smoke damage and power shutoffs can close commercial kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, while crews and displaced staff still need hot meals. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires and Straight-Line Winds (DR-4562), declared September 15, 2020. By incident type, the count is wildfire 5, severe storms 4, flooding 4, coastal storm 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 2, 1990s 3, 2000s 3, 2010s 1 and 2020s 5. Before that came Chehalem Mountain Bald Peak Fire (FM-5371, September 10, 2020), Wildfires (EM-3542, September 10, 2020), Powerline Fire (FM-5358, September 8, 2020), Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4258, February 17, 2016) and Severe Winter Storm, Record and Near Record Snow (DR-1824, March 2, 2009).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 17 county-based event records for Washington County; flood events account for 11 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 6. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a tornado in October 2018, with about $100,000 in property damage. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.

NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Washington County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Clark County, about 33 miles away, where the Nakia Creek fire burned 1,930 acres in 2022.

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

Construction projects and crew meals near Cornelius

Since October 2021, 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Washington County as the place of work. The Department of the Interior committed $1.3 million to “Or-Wapato Lake Pump Station Rehab” in Washington County, awarded July 2019 (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 Hillsboro, about 110,337 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Cornelius

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Washington County. The nearest is in Multnomah County, about 33 miles away. The General Services Administration committed $32 million to “911 Seismic - Abaas Upgrades & Noaa Ti” in Multnomah County, awarded May 2021 (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. Whoever remodels in North Plains starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Emergency access and staging near Cornelius

Public emergency operations in Oregon are coordinated by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. Staging and access details differ again in Banks, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

Kaiser Foundation Hospital Westside is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Hillsboro, about 6 miles from Cornelius in a straight line.

Local rental costs in Cornelius

Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Cornelius include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995 and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. Beaverton is quoted on the same factors, but at 12 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.

Prepare your Cornelius site before delivery

Sites near Tigard and Sherwood start from this same list, then adjust for their own pad, power and permits.

  • Power: check the panel and service against the trailer's listed requirement before anything is scheduled.
  • Placement: pick a level spot with turning room, and keep fire lanes and entrances clear.
  • Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.

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

Mobile kitchens in Cornelius come first, and the rest follows from the site.
