Mobile Kitchen Trailers
Mobile Kitchen Trailers for Rent, from 24 ft Standard Lines to 40 ft Bulk Kitchens
Our mobile kitchen trailer rentals put a complete commercial cooking line beside your building, with dishwashing trailers and emergency refrigeration to pair when the dish room or walk-in is out too. They carry planned renovations and emergency closures, on short-term rentals or long-term kitchen leases. Hospitals, nursing homes, schools, correctional facilities, hotels, and caterers use them to keep serving their own menus. We coordinate delivery, placement, and setup for your site, and the line is answered 24/7. Compare the trailers below and ask us to check availability.

How to pick the right mobile kitchen trailer
Size a kitchen by meals and menu, not by trailer length alone. A 24 or 28 ft standard kitchen carries a convection oven, a griddle and oven combination, a six-burner range, sinks, a prep table, and reach-in refrigeration: enough for conventional service. The 38 ft adds a deep fryer; the 40 ft adds double-stack ovens and a tilting skillet.
If you cook from scratch or lose your walk-in in the same project, the 40 ft combo kitchen builds a walk-in cooler into the trailer. Institutional kitchens serving thousands of meals usually need a 40 ft bulk kitchen. Every kitchen we list runs on 220V single-phase power at 200 to 220 amps, except the all-electric unit, which is specified by quote.
Supporting rentals
What it pairs with
Most kitchen rentals pair with a dishwashing trailer rental if you serve on reusable trays and plates, and with a refrigerated trailer when the permanent walk-in is inside the construction zone. Planning the three together keeps staff walking distances short and lets one delivery plan cover all of them.

Across the country
When kitchens go offline: five situations we plan for
These are the situations that usually lead to a call. Each one is a scenario to plan around, not a description of a specific customer.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Forks could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
2. Major construction
Remote job sites near Sturgis often have no restaurant within a short drive. A contractor there could feed crews from a mobile kitchen trailer, with shower and restroom trailers on the same delivery.
3. Kitchen renovation
Replacing a dish room is a renovation too. A hospital near Sturgis 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.
24/7 emergency line
Emergency kitchen rentals nationwide
A fire, flood, or failed hood can close a kitchen overnight. Call any hour and have ready: your address, meals per day, the date the kitchen went down, and the power and water available on site.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can multiple trailers be set up at one site?
Yes. A common setup pairs a kitchen trailer with a dishwashing trailer and a refrigerated trailer, placed so staff can move between them. We plan the layout, power, and water for all of them together.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
