Commercial kitchen trailers for Durham

Temporary commercial kitchen rental in Durham covers a wide range of jobs, from a cafeteria rebuild to a crew that needs hot meals every shift. If the work spills into Tualatin, 1 mile from here, or into Tigard, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Durham

Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Durham facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Lake Oswego, 3 miles from here, as it does here.

Emergency refrigeration for Durham means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. A call about emergency refrigeration from Sherwood starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

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. Frequent rain makes ground conditions the main delivery question, more than distance or trailer length.

Who rents kitchen trailers in Durham

Rental customers in Durham are commercial, institutional and public: school districts, disaster-response teams, nursing homes and manufacturers. Each has its own pressure points, from a school cafeteria kitchen rental during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Care homes in Wilsonville and school kitchens in West Linn, places of about 27,895 residents and about 26,597 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

CMS lists 5 hospitals in Washington County, including 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. Public schools here number 136, enrolling about 80,000 students, with Beaverton Sd 48J, Hillsboro Sd 1J and Tigard-Tualatin Sd 23J among the larger districts (NCES).

Durham: emergencies, projects, access and costs

Past emergencies and recovery needs in Durham

Since 1964, Washington County has been named in 15 FEMA declarations; wildfire (5 declarations) and severe storms (4 declarations) lead the list. A project that reaches Tualatin 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. Wildfire response brings long shifts for responders and rebuilding crews, and smoke or utility loss can take permanent kitchens out of service. 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. Earlier declarations include 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).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 17 county-based severe-weather event records for Washington County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (11) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (6). NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $100,000, from a tornado in October 2018. Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.

No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Washington 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 Clark County, about 33 miles away, where the Nakia Creek fire burned 1,930 acres in 2022.

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

Construction projects and crew meals near Durham

Since October 2021, 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Washington County as the place of work. In July 2019, the Department of the Interior awarded a $1.3 million contract for “Or-Wapato Lake Pump Station Rehab” in Washington County, with work running to December 2021 (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 Tigard, about 57,301 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Durham

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. In May 2021, the General Services Administration awarded a $32 million contract for “911 Seismic - Abaas Upgrades & Noaa Ti” in Multnomah County, with work running to January 2024 (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. The closure date drives the plan in King City too.

Getting emergency equipment into Durham

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 Lake Oswego, in Multnomah County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Durham is Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, in Tualatin, about 1 mile from Durham in a straight line.

What a kitchen rental costs in Durham

A quote for Durham is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995, the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995 and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995. Prices may vary. Sherwood is quoted on the same factors, but at 5 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.

When the project needs more than a kitchen

For a base camp the kitchen is the center of the day.

Rent only what the project needs.
