Kitchens near Windsor Heights and throughout Clive stay open with our portable kitchen trailers, plus dishwashing trailers for reusable ware and refrigeration trailers for product. Use them for an emergency closure or a scheduled remodel, on short-term or long-term terms, with weekly and monthly options. Schools, hospitals, hotels, golf and country clubs, and public kitchens keep cooking in them during repairs. Tell us where the trailer will park and what power and water you have; we plan the delivery route and the setup from there. Request availability or a quote for your Clive project today.

Local facts
Clive is within about 6 straight-line miles of Des Moines. Metro traffic and site access usually set the delivery window more than distance does, so we confirm both with your quote. The same route covers nearby West Des Moines and Johnston.
Local planning
Send the location, dates, and equipment list. We'll quote equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup as separate lines so you can budget them.
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Clive and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
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.
Add shower and restroom trailers, a laundry trailer, or sleeper containers to the kitchen delivery so the whole site is planned at once.

Why choose us
Food service is the part of a facility people notice first when it stops. Reliable cooking, warewashing, and refrigeration trailers, planned before delivery, let a facility in Clive keep serving through construction or a breakdown.
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
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.
Straight answers build trust: published equipment lists, starting monthly prices on every unit, setup times stated up front, and a 24/7 phone line. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Clive
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.
A kitchen fire, even a small one, usually means hood cleaning, inspection, and repairs before cooking resumes. A restaurant or care home in Clive could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Clive building a new dining hall could bridge the gap with a kitchen trailer rental and a dishwashing trailer.
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Clive with summer meal programs could lease a mobile kitchen so the renovation doesn't stop service.
During a declared emergency in Clive, Iowa, the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management 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.
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Clive; 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
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.
