Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals in USA, with Dishwashing and Refrigeration Trailers
When a hospital kitchen closes for renovation or a walk-in freezer fails on a holiday weekend, meals still have to go out. Family Entertainment Group USA rents mobile kitchen trailers across the United States, with dishwashing trailer rentals and emergency refrigeration trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. They cover planned renovations and sudden breakdowns, on short-term rentals by the week or long-term leases by the month. Hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, government sites, hotels, and caterers use them in small towns like Marfa and Cedar Key and on large campuses. We coordinate delivery and setup around your utilities, and our line is answered 24/7. Request availability or a quote today.

Commercial kitchen trailer rental products and services
Commercial kitchen trailer rentals
A commercial kitchen trailer is a temporary food-production facility used when an institutional or commercial kitchen is unavailable because of renovation, construction, equipment failure, or a sudden jump in demand. Ours are fully built cooking lines inside a trailer: exhaust hoods, ranges, griddles, convection ovens, sinks, prep tables, and reach-in refrigeration. They park beside your building, connect to power and water, and let your own staff keep cooking your own menu.
A 24 ft mobile kitchen or a 28 ft kitchen trailer covers conventional meal production: a single-stack convection oven, a griddle and oven combination, a six-burner range, a three-compartment sink, a handwashing sink, a prep table, and reach-in refrigerator and freezer. That's the right fit for a school kitchen in Forks closing for a summer remodel or a lodge kitchen in Estes Park shut down between seasons.
Scratch-cooking kitchens need more prep, storage, and cold holding. The 40 ft combo kitchen adds a walk-in cooler to the cooking line, so a facility that cooks from raw ingredients isn't forced into a second trailer just for receiving. The 38 ft and 40 ft kitchens add deep fryers and, on the 40 ft, double-stack convection ovens and a tilting skillet.
Bulk kitchens are for institutional volume. The 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer pairs a tilting skillet with double-stack ovens, fryers, and a walk-in cooler, the equipment a correctional facility or a regional hospital near Detroit Lakes leans on to produce thousands of meals a day. If your kitchen is being rebuilt, you still have meals to serve, and the temporary setup has to fit your menu, staff, dishwashing process, utilities, and construction schedule. That's the conversation we start with.
Need it for a long rebuild? Long-term kitchen trailer leasing runs month to month for as long as the project takes, and short-term kitchen rental works for an emergency that's measured in weeks. Each trailer page lists its equipment and its electrical service, so your facilities team can check the hookup before delivery.
Commercial dishwashing trailer rentals
A dishwashing trailer is a self-contained warewashing room on wheels, used when a kitchen loses its dish machine or when a temporary kitchen needs somewhere to wash reusable plates, trays, and pans. Hospitals, universities, and correctional facilities that serve on reusable ware can't switch to disposables for months. A low-temperature push-through dish trailer brings a dish machine, scraping table, soil tray, and three-compartment sink; the 30 ft and 38 ft conveyor dishwashing trailers handle tray-line volume, with high- or low-temperature machines.
Emergency refrigeration trailer rentals
A refrigeration trailer is portable walk-in cold storage, rented most often when a commercial walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down. When a compressor fails at a restaurant in Helen, the clock starts on everything inside. Our 20 ft refrigerated trailers come in medium- and low-temperature versions, and refrigerated containers in 20 ft and 40 ft sizes cover longer outages. Call the 24/7 line and we'll check what's available for your address.
Industries we serve
Who rents a temporary kitchen, and why
Healthcare
Hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities can't pause meals. A hospital kitchen rental keeps patients and residents eating on schedule through renovations, equipment failures, and new construction.
Education
School districts and universities renovate cafeterias in summer and rebuild dining halls between semesters. A campus temporary kitchen in Geneseo or anywhere else keeps summer meal programs running.
Correctional Facilities
Jails and prisons need continuous, high-volume food service. Bulk kitchen trailers and conveyor dishwashing trailers keep a secure facility serving three meals a day through kitchen repairs.
Government & Military
Government buildings and military installations rent temporary kitchens for planned renovations and emergency feeding, including disaster response operations that need meals fast.
Hospitality
Hotels, resorts, casinos, and conference centers lose banquet revenue when a kitchen shuts. A kitchen trailer in Sturgis or elsewhere keeps booked events on the calendar.
Golf & Catering
Country clubs, golf courses, and caterers use kitchen trailers for clubhouse renovations and large functions, often adding refrigerated trailer rentals for extra cold storage.
Why choose us
Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA
Renovations run long, compressors fail on holidays, and inspections don't wait. The point of a rental kitchen is that your food service keeps running on its normal timetable while the real kitchen is torn out, fixed, or replaced.
Accelerated Deployment
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
24/7 Emergency Service
Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so a failed walk-in at 2 a.m. gets a real answer.
End-to-End Project Support
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Delivery windows, stairs or ramps, and utility hookups are agreed in advance.
Why clients trust us
We don't hide the details. Every trailer page lists its equipment and electrical needs where we have them, every unit shows a starting monthly price, and our line is staffed around the clock. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
Planning the electrical connection, water supply, wastewater route, and trailer footprint before delivery prevents most setup delays. That conversation happens on the first call, so the trailer that arrives is the one your site can actually run.
Site and utility planning
Plan your trailer site before delivery
Electricity
Requirements vary by trailer. Our kitchen trailers list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps, the low-temperature dish trailers 150 amps, and the 30 ft conveyor dish trailer three-phase power. Don't size your service from one trailer's number; check each unit's page.
Potable water
Kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a potable water connection for sinks, handwashing, and dish machines. Plan the hose route and the distance from your connection point.
Wastewater
Graywater can go to a sewer connection, or to holding tanks with scheduled pump-out, depending on what the site allows. Settle this before delivery; it often decides placement.
Trailer placement
You need a level area, a clear delivery route, room for the trailer's footprint, and short runs to power and water. Think about how staff will walk between the trailer and your building.
Ramps and stairs
Most placements use stairs, which take 5 to 15 minutes to set. A ramp takes 4 to 6 hours. Accessibility requirements depend on your project and jurisdiction, so check them early.
Permits
Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals vary by city, county, facility, and use. No single permit applies everywhere; ask your local authorities what they need and we'll supply equipment details.
Our planning guide walks through these decisions step by step.
Supporting services
Supporting services for temporary kitchen projects
A temporary kitchen rarely works alone. If a facility plans to keep using reusable trays and dishware, the kitchen trailer needs a dishwashing trailer beside it, and if the permanent walk-in is part of the demolition, a refrigerated trailer lease keeps product cold for the duration. We plan those pairings together so the trailers fit the site and share a sensible layout.
Around the trailers, we handle delivery scheduling, stairs or ramps, setup, and pickup, and GPS tracking is possible on request. Site planning starts on the first call: power, water, wastewater, placement, and access. Water hauling, generators, and permit filing aren't part of our listed services; tell us what your site lacks and we'll be clear about what we can and can't supply.
Service area
Serving customers across the United States
We deliver nationwide, to major metro areas, small communities, campuses, military installations, and job sites. A renovation in Tombstone and a breakdown in Bath get the same terms and the same 24/7 line. Search the map, zoom into a state, or pick from the list below.

Ten small towns we serve
| City | State | Region |
|---|---|---|
| Estes Park | Colorado | West |
| Tombstone | Arizona | West |
| Forks | Washington | West |
| Marfa | Texas | South |
| Cedar Key | Florida | South |
| Helen | Georgia | South |
| Bath | Maine | Northeast |
| Geneseo | New York | Northeast |
| Sturgis | South Dakota | Midwest |
| Detroit Lakes | Minnesota | Midwest |
Small towns are where a temporary kitchen matters most. In a place like Marfa or Tombstone, the nearest replacement equipment can be hours or days away, so a failed kitchen often has no backup, and calls usually come after something breaks. Larger metro projects tend to be renovations on a fixed calendar. Either way, we plan the delivery for your address and confirm it in the quote. The map shows where we have local pages, not where trailers are parked.
Across the country
When kitchens go offline: five situations we plan for
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Estes Park could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Forks building a new dining hall could bridge the gap with a kitchen trailer rental and a dishwashing trailer.
3. Kitchen renovation
Replacing a dish room is a renovation too. A hospital near Forks could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
In a declared disaster, public emergency logistics run through state and county emergency management agencies and their staging areas. Our deliveries are arranged separately with you: we agree the route, the gate, and the placement for your site before the truck leaves.
5. What a rental costs
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer, by the month or the week. These starting rates apply in every location we serve. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted for your address. Compare every unit's price or build an estimate in the rental calculator.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kitchen equipment can I rent?
Mobile kitchen trailers from 24 ft to 40 ft, dishwashing trailers with push-through or conveyor machines, and refrigerated trailers and containers. Kitchens range from standard cooking lines to bulk kitchens with tilting skillets and walk-in coolers.
What size kitchen trailer do I need?
It depends on meals per day, menu, and staff. A 24 or 28 ft standard kitchen suits conventional meal service; a 38 or 40 ft kitchen adds fryers, double-stack ovens, and tilting skillets; a 40 ft bulk kitchen is built for institutional volume. Tell us your meal count and menu and we'll recommend a size.
Can I rent a temporary kitchen during a renovation?
Yes. Renovation is the most common reason for a kitchen rental. The trailer parks near your building, connects to power and water, and carries food service until the permanent kitchen reopens. Rentals run by the week or month, so the term can follow your construction schedule.
What utilities does a kitchen trailer need?
Electrical service, potable water, and a wastewater plan. Our kitchen trailers list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps; each trailer's page shows its own requirement. Wastewater can go to a sewer connection or to holding and pump-out, depending on the site.
What type of dishwashing trailer do I need?
Match it to volume. A 22 to 26 ft low-temperature push-through trailer handles moderate service; 30 and 38 ft conveyor trailers handle hospital, campus, and correctional volume. Note that the 30 ft conveyor trailer needs three-phase power.
How fast can you help when a walk-in cooler fails?
Call (888) 385-5513 any time, day or night. We'll confirm the nearest available refrigerated trailer or container, the delivery timing for your address, and the power it needs. We don't promise a delivery time before checking availability for your site.
How much does a kitchen trailer rental cost?
Mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 per month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995 per month, and refrigeration from $1,895 per month. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted separately for your location.
Are long-term rentals available?
Yes. Rentals are available by the week or by the month (1 week or monthly), and long-term leases can run for the length of a multi-month renovation or rebuild.
How long does setup take?
Overall setup is about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers and about 1 hour for other units. Stairs take 5 to 15 minutes to place; a ramp, when needed, takes 4 to 6 hours.
Do temporary kitchen trailers need permits?
Often, yes, but it varies. Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals depend on your city or county, your facility, and how the kitchen will be used. Check with your local authorities early; we can share equipment details they ask for.
