Our mobile kitchen trailer rentals keep food service running in Nevada City, with dishwashing trailers and emergency refrigeration when the dish room or walk-in is out too. Rent one by the week after a breakdown or lease it by the month through a construction project; short-term and long-term terms are both available. They serve healthcare, education, corrections, government, military, and hospitality kitchens that can't stop feeding people. Our crew delivers, levels, and connects the trailer, then walks your staff through it before the first meal. Contact us with your dates to check availability and get a quote.

Calls answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including emergencies.
Overall about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for other units. With stairs, 5 to 15 minutes when stairs are needed; with a ramp, 4 to 6 hours when a ramp is needed.
Delivery is scheduled for your site and confirmed in the quote. GPS tracking possible on request.
Why choose us
When a kitchen goes offline, the meals don't stop. Patients still eat at noon, students still line up, and crews still need dinner. A working temporary kitchen, dish line, and cold storage keep that schedule intact while the permanent space is rebuilt or repaired.
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
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.
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
What you see is what we quote: a named trailer, its listed equipment, a starting monthly price, and a person on the phone any hour. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Nevada City
The examples below are planning scenarios, not past jobs. They show how a rental fits the situations facilities run into most.
When a storm knocks out power across Nevada City and nearby Grass Valley, kitchens that lost their walk-ins compete for the same repair crews. Booking refrigerated trailers early keeps product cold while you wait your turn.
Utility upgrades in an older building can cut gas or power to the kitchen for days at a time. A facility in Nevada City facing scheduled shutoffs could run meals from a leased kitchen trailer wired to temporary service.
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Nevada City, a facility like that could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using reusable plates.
During a declared emergency in Nevada City, California, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and local emergency managers direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you, and follow any access limits officials publish.
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in Nevada City, $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
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.
