Equipment

Push-through and conveyor dish machines with sinks and scraping stations, sized to your meal count.

Refrigerated trailers and containers for the day a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down.

Statewide planning
Before your trailer arrives in North Carolina
- 1
Start with utilities. Most North Carolina facilities can feed a kitchen trailer from an existing service, but confirm the amperage and the distance to the parking spot before you choose a size.
- 2
Health and fire approvals for temporary food facilities vary from county to county. Your local authority decides; we can share equipment lists and electrical data for their review.
- 3
Think about the walk between the trailer and your serving line. Short, covered routes keep staff efficient through summer heat and storms.
Each city page has local planning notes, including Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh, and Greensboro.
For food safety rules, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is the state agency to know; the county or city health office covering Banner Elk or Charlotte usually reviews the temporary kitchen itself.
Small towns get the same trailers and terms, with delivery planned for rural roads: Banner Elk and Waynesville.

In North Carolina
Planning a kitchen rental in North Carolina
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Waynesville 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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in North Carolina, the North Carolina 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 North Carolina
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in North Carolina, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer, by the month or the week. 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 North Carolina

FAQ
Questions about kitchen rentals in North Carolina
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in North Carolina?
Yes. We serve North Carolina 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 North Carolina; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in North Carolina?
The same starting prices apply in North Carolina 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 North Carolina are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in North Carolina?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for North Carolina, 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.
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 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.
