Facilities that serve residents, students, inmates, or guests every day, from nursing homes to universities to resorts, are our usual customers.

Planning questions for Carteret kitchens
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.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Carteret and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
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 Carteret often share delivery planning with nearby Port Reading and Avenel; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

In Carteret
Planning a kitchen rental in Carteret
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
A kitchen fire, even a small one, usually means hood cleaning, inspection, and repairs before cooking resumes. A restaurant or care home in Carteret could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Carteret building a new dining hall could bridge the gap with a kitchen trailer rental and a dishwashing trailer.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Carteret with summer meal programs could lease a mobile kitchen so the renovation doesn't stop service.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Carteret, New Jersey, the New Jersey Office of 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 Carteret
In Carteret, 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 Carteret
