Tooele, UT Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
A closed kitchen in Tooele does not have to close meal service: we rent mobile commercial kitchens, with commercial dishwashing and emergency refrigerated trailers to back them up. Use us for temporary food service during sudden outages as well as planned kitchen renovations and construction projects. Short-term, monthly and long-term rental terms are matched to the repair or the project. Our rentals go to commercial and public customers, from jails, school districts and hotels. Our team coordinates delivery, placement and setup with your site contacts. Call or send a request to check availability in Tooele or Erda.

Commercial kitchen trailers for Tooele
A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Tooele is one of the quickest temporary commercial kitchen solutions: a fully equipped mobile kitchen on a pad, ready to connect to power and water. A project that crosses into Erda (about 4,035 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Match the trailer to the menu: the 40ft Mobile Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 28ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.

Tooele: emergencies, projects, access and costs
Past emergencies and recovery needs in Tooele
Since 1977, Tooele County has been named in 9 FEMA declarations; flooding (4 declarations) and wildfire (3 declarations) lead the list. A project that reaches Erda should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.
The most recent is Cherry Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5641), declared June 27, 2026. 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 Flooding (DR-4011), declared August 8, 2011. By incident type, the count is flooding 4, wildfire 3, coastal storm 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 1980s 2, 2000s 2, 2010s 2 and 2020s 2. Before that came Iron Fire (FM-5639, June 21, 2026), Anaconda Fire (FM-5065, July 21, 2014), Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3223, September 5, 2005), Flooding and Landslides (DR-1598, August 1, 2005) and Severe Storms, Mudslides, Landslides & Flooding (DR-720, August 17, 1984).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 503 county-based severe-weather event records for Tooele County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (490) and flood events (13). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flash flood in August 2021, with about $1 million in property damage. Storm winds mean outages measured in days in some places, so the generator question belongs in the plan from the start.
The National Interagency Fire Center maps 13 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Tooele County since 2016, together covering about 74,097 acres. The largest was the Hastings fire in 2026, at 26,423 acres. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Construction projects and crew meals near Tooele
USASpending.gov lists 73 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Tooele County since October 2021, worth about $79 million together. The Department of Defense committed $15 million to “Minor Construction- M-Line Railway 115# Upgrade” in Tooele County, awarded August 2022 (award record). Another public record is “Tooele Gas Line and Fuel Swap,” a $11 million Department of Defense contract from October 2021 in Tooele County (award record). In September 2022, the Department of the Interior awarded a $8.4 million contract for “Tooele Air Center - Design Build” in Tooele County, with work running to August 2024 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $6.6 million Department of Defense contract, “Design and Construct Microgrid at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah,” starting July 2021 in Tooele County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A project in Grantsville, about 15,682 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
Rebuilds and remodels around Tooele
In September 2022, the Department of Defense awarded a $4.7 million contract for “HVAC Repair by Replacement” in Tooele County, with work running to April 2026 (award record). Whoever remodels in Herriman starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
Emergency equipment access around Tooele
In Utah, the Utah Division of Emergency Management (DEM) 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 Magna metro township, in Salt Lake County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Tooele is Mountain West Medical Center, in Tooele itself.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Tooele

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.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Tooele
Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 220A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Magna metro township, 17 miles from here, as it does here.
Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Tooele is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F or a different temperature setting when you call. South Jordan sits in Salt Lake County, which has 10 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.
Climate normals for Tooele County run from an average January low of 19°F to an average July high of 93°F, with roughly 10 inches of precipitation yearly. July highs run about 7 degrees hotter than the average Utah county. Hard freezes are routine, so the water hookup is planned with heat tape or an insulated hose, and wastewater lines are kept from freezing between uses.
