The Dalles, OR Mobile Commercial Kitchen Trailer Rentals

Operations around The Dalles that cannot pause food service can lease a mobile commercial kitchen for a week, a month or the length of a long renovation. Hood River is only 20 miles away, with about 8,350 residents, and Cascade Locks about 35 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Common choices include the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A), the 40ft 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.

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for The Dalles sites. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Troutdale, 60 miles from here, as it does here.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for The Dalles is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. In Estacada, where Clackamas County has 21 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.
