Local planning
Where Rockdale projects usually start
1.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Rockdale and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
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 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.
4.Crews will stay on site
Add shower and restroom trailers, a laundry trailer, or sleeper containers to the kitchen delivery so the whole site is planned at once.
Facilities in Joliet or Preston Heights get the same equipment list and starting prices as Rockdale.

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
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
24/7 Emergency Service
Call any hour to start an emergency kitchen or refrigeration rental.
End-to-End Project Support
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
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.
In Rockdale
Planning a kitchen rental in Rockdale
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
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 Rockdale, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental could hold product while the permanent unit is repaired.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Rockdale 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 Joliet could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Rockdale, 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 Rockdale
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in Rockdale, $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 in Rockdale
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
Kitchen rental questions in Rockdale
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Rockdale?
Yes. We serve Rockdale as part of our nationwide service area. Delivery timing and cost depend on your exact address, the trailer, and site access, and we confirm both in your quote. We have no office in Rockdale; trailers are delivered to your site.

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Rockdale?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Rockdale, 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.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation. A person reviews your request, confirms availability for your dates and location, and sends a quote. Equipment is reserved once you accept the quote.
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.
