Ocean Shores, WA Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers

Emergency food service in Ocean Shores often starts with one question: where will the next meal be cooked? A commercial kitchen trailer on a level pad gives the answer while the permanent kitchen is out of action. If the work spills into Westport, 5 miles from here, or into Hoquiam, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Ocean Shores sites. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Cosmopolis, 18 miles from here, as it does here.

When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Ocean Shores. South Bend sits in Pacific County, which has 25 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Grays Harbor County drops to 35°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 72°F, and the county gets about 96 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 7 degrees warmer than the average Washington county. In a wet climate the pad has to drain, so a rental kitchen is placed on firm, graded ground with a dry route for deliveries.
