Rhode Island Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals with Dishwashing and Refrigeration
Our mobile kitchen trailer rentals keep food service running in Rhode Island, with dishwashing trailers and emergency refrigeration when the dish room or walk-in is out too. Use them for an emergency closure or a scheduled remodel, on short-term or long-term terms, with weekly and monthly options. Schools, hospitals, hotels, golf and country clubs, and public kitchens keep cooking in them during repairs. Our crew delivers, levels, and connects the trailer, then walks your staff through it before the first meal. Contact us with your dates to check availability and get a quote.

Statewide planning
Before your trailer arrives in Rhode Island
- 1
Approvals for a temporary kitchen in Rhode Island are set locally. Your county or city health department and building or fire officials decide what's needed, so ask them early and tell us what documentation they want.
- 2
Weather shapes placement. Plan a level, well-drained spot with year-round access, and keep the route clear for a long trailer on delivery and pickup day.
- 3
Check your electrical service against the trailer you're considering: our kitchens list 220V single-phase at 200 to 220 amps, while the 30 ft conveyor dish trailer needs three-phase.
Each city page has local planning notes, including Warwick, Pawtucket, Cranston, and Providence.
Rhode Island's health and food safety agencies are listed on its USA.gov page; the county or city health office covering Charlestown or Providence usually reviews the temporary kitchen itself.
We also deliver to smaller communities, where a closed kitchen may have no backup nearby: Charlestown and Tiverton.

Delivery and GPS
Delivery is scheduled for your site and confirmed in the quote. GPS tracking possible on request.
Why choose us
Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA
When a kitchen goes offline, the meals don't stop. Patients still eat at noon, students still line up, and crews still need dinner. A working temporary kitchen, dish line, and cold storage keep that schedule intact while the permanent space is rebuilt or repaired.
Accelerated Deployment
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
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
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Why clients trust us
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.

Planning a kitchen rental in Rhode Island
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
If severe weather floods a hospital basement kitchen in Cranston, the cooking line may be out for weeks while it's dried, inspected, and rebuilt. A mobile kitchen trailer parked near the loading dock could carry meal service through the repair.
2. Major construction
Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in Charlestown could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Providence could run a 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer inside its secure perimeter for the length of the job.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Rhode Island, state and local emergency management direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access; the state's page on USA.gov lists its agencies. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you.
5. What a rental costs in Rhode Island
In Rhode Island, 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 Rhode Island
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
Questions about kitchen rentals in Rhode Island
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Rhode Island?
Yes. We serve Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island; trailers are delivered to your site.

The same starting prices apply in Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Rhode Island?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Rhode Island, 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.
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.
