Common situations in Shelbyville
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
4.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.
Projects in Shelbyville often share delivery planning with nearby Simpsonville and Elk Creek; 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
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
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
You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
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
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.

Planning a kitchen rental in Shelbyville
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
When a storm knocks out power across Shelbyville and nearby Simpsonville, 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
Utility upgrades in an older building can cut gas or power to the kitchen for days at a time. A facility in Shelbyville facing scheduled shutoffs could run meals from a leased kitchen trailer wired to temporary service.
3. Kitchen renovation
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Shelbyville, 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 Shelbyville, Kentucky, the Kentucky 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 Shelbyville
In Shelbyville, 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 Shelbyville
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.

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Shelbyville?

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 size kitchen trailer do I need?
It depends on meals per day, menu, and staff. A 24 or 28 ft standard kitchen suits conventional meal service; a 38 or 40 ft kitchen adds fryers, double-stack ovens, and tilting skillets; a 40 ft bulk kitchen is built for institutional volume. Tell us your meal count and menu and we'll recommend a size.
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.
