Local planning
Where Catlin projects usually start
1.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Catlin. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
2.You serve on reusable trays and plates
Pair the kitchen with a dishwashing trailer so warewashing keeps pace. Volume decides between push-through and conveyor machines.
3.The site entrance is tight
Send photos or a site plan. Long trailers need a clear turning path; we'll confirm the route and placement before the delivery date.
4.The walk-in cooler or freezer just failed
Call the 24/7 line first. Have the temperature you need and the power near your back door ready, and we'll check refrigerated trailers available for your address.

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
Delivery is scheduled around the day your kitchen closes, so there's no gap in service.
24/7 Emergency Service
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
End-to-End Project Support
From the first call to the last day on site, you have one contact for the rental.
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
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Why clients trust us
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 Catlin
Planning a kitchen rental in Catlin
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
A long power outage can spoil a walk-in's contents and damage compressors. For a school district in Catlin, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental could hold product while the permanent unit is repaired.
2. Major construction
Utility upgrades in an older building can cut gas or power to the kitchen for days at a time. A facility in Catlin facing scheduled shutoffs could run meals from a leased kitchen trailer wired to temporary service.
3. Kitchen renovation
Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Catlin could run a 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer inside its secure perimeter for the length of the job.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Catlin, Illinois, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security 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.
5. What a rental costs in Catlin
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Catlin; add a dish trailer from $4,995 a month or cold storage from $1,895 a month. 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 in Catlin
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.

Kitchen rental questions in Catlin

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Catlin?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Catlin, confirm your power and water, and give you a delivery time once availability is confirmed. A refrigerated trailer can come on the same delivery if your walk-in is down too.
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.
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 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.
