Dufur, OR Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Dufur is one of the quickest temporary commercial kitchen solutions: a fully equipped mobile kitchen on a pad, ready to connect to power and water. The Dalles is only 10 miles away, with about 15,884 residents, and Hood River about 26 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 24ft Mobile Kitchen, 28ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type high-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 300A. Madras, 55 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Dufur means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. Sandy sits in Clackamas County, which has 21 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Wasco County drops to 27°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 83°F, and the county gets about 20 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 3 degrees hotter than the average Oregon county. A mixed climate means a kitchen trailer sees freezing mornings and hot afternoons in the same year, and the setup allows for both.

Kitchen requests in Dufur tend to fall into a few groups: school districts, manufacturers, municipal agencies and nursing homes.
