Iowa Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals in Marion
We rent kitchen trailers across Marion, along with dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. They cover sudden equipment failures and planned renovations alike, on short-term rentals by the week or long-term leases by the month. Hospital food services, school nutrition teams, prison kitchens, hotel banquet staff, and catering crews are the people we work with most. We coordinate delivery and setup, and can add shower or laundry trailers for crews on the same plan. Send your dates and location, and we'll check availability and send a quote.

Common situations in Marion
1.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.
2.Power at the site is limited
Our kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps. Have an electrician confirm what's available near the parking spot before you pick a size.
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.
Projects in Marion often share delivery planning with nearby Hiawatha and Robins; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

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
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.
End-to-End Project Support
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Delivery windows, stairs or ramps, and utility hookups are agreed in advance.
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 Marion
Planning a kitchen rental in Marion
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
When a storm knocks out power across Marion and nearby Hiawatha, kitchens that lost their walk-ins compete for the same repair crews. Booking refrigerated trailers early keeps product cold while you wait your turn.
2. Major construction
When a hospital adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the existing kitchen offline in phases. In Marion, a phased project like that could run food service from a leased mobile kitchen during each shutdown.
3. Kitchen renovation
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Marion, a facility like that could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using reusable plates.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Marion, 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.
5. What a rental costs in Marion
In Marion, mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 a month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895, with weekly terms on request. 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 Marion
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 Marion
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Marion?
Yes. We serve Marion 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 Marion; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in Marion?
The same starting prices apply in Marion as everywhere we serve: kitchens from $4,995 per month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895. Delivery, setup, and pickup for Marion are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Marion?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Marion, 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.
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.
What utilities does a kitchen trailer need?
Electrical service, potable water, and a wastewater plan. Our kitchen trailers list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps; each trailer's page shows its own requirement. Wastewater can go to a sewer connection or to holding and pump-out, depending on the site.
