We rent kitchen trailers across Kensington, along with dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. Short-term rentals handle the urgent call after a failure; long-term leases carry a planned kitchen rebuild from demolition to reopening. They serve healthcare, education, corrections, government, military, and hospitality kitchens that can't stop feeding people. 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.

Local facts
Kensington is within about 5 straight-line miles of Silver Spring. 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 North Kensington and Garrett Park.
Local planning
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Kensington. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
Add shower and restroom trailers, a laundry trailer, or sleeper containers to the kitchen delivery so the whole site is planned at once.
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Kensington 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.

Why choose us
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.
Delivery is scheduled around the day your kitchen closes, so there's no gap in 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.
From the first call to the last day on site, you have one contact for the rental.
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
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.

Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Kensington could run a 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer inside its secure perimeter for the length of the job.
