Cle Elum, WA Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers

A short-term kitchen rental after a failure and a long-term kitchen lease during a rebuild start the same way: a mobile kitchen for Cle Elum is matched to the menu, the crew and the power available. Ellensburg is only 23 miles away, with about 20,996 residents, and Kittitas about 29 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 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 24ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Rental customers in Cle Elum are commercial, institutional and public: nursing homes, manufacturers, construction crews and school districts. Each has its own pressure points, from a nursing home kitchen rental during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Care homes in Naches and school kitchens in East Wenatchee, places of about 1,090 residents and about 14,330 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing.

Cashmere, 32 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Cle Elum means cold storage that arrives as a trailer.

• Wastewater: plan sewer access, a holding tank or pump-out service, depending on the site in Cle Elum.
• Approvals: the local health authority for Kittitas County decides what review a temporary kitchen needs, so ask first.
• Power: check the panel and service against the trailer's listed requirement before anything is scheduled.
