Maine Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals Serving Portland
A full cooking line on wheels is the core of what we rent in Portland: mobile commercial kitchens backed by dish machine trailers and refrigerated trailers. From emergency equipment failures to planned rebuilds and new construction, rentals run short-term or long-term to fit the job. Healthcare kitchens, school districts, universities, government sites, correctional facilities, and caterers rely on them to keep meals going. Our crew delivers, levels, and connects the trailer, then walks your staff through it before the first meal. Check availability and request a quote for your Portland dates.

Local planning
Planning questions for Portland kitchens
1.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.
2.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.
3.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Portland. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
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 Portland often share delivery planning with nearby South Portland and Falmouth; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

In Portland
Planning a kitchen rental in Portland
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
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Portland could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Portland 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 South Portland could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Portland, Maine, the Maine Emergency Management Agency 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 Portland
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Portland; 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 Portland
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 Portland
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Portland?
Yes. We serve Portland 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 Portland; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in Portland?
The same starting prices apply in Portland 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 Portland are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Portland?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Portland, 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.
Can multiple trailers be set up at one site?
Yes. A common setup pairs a kitchen trailer with a dishwashing trailer and a refrigerated trailer, placed so staff can move between them. We plan the layout, power, and water for all of them together.
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.
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.
