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 South Carolina
- 1
Pick the parking spot first. South Carolina sites need a level, firm surface long enough for a 24 to 40 ft trailer plus steps or a ramp.
- 2
Ask your local health department which forms it wants for temporary food service, and send them the equipment list we provide.
- 3
Plan for summer heat on the serving route and confirm who handles wastewater pickup.
Each city page has local planning notes, including Columbia, Mount Pleasant, Charleston, and North Charleston.
South Carolina's health and food safety agencies are listed on its USA.gov page; the county or city health office covering Smyrna or Columbia usually reviews the temporary kitchen itself.
Small towns get the same trailers and terms, with delivery planned for rural roads: Smyrna and McClellanville.

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
Delivery is scheduled around the day your kitchen closes, so there's no gap in service.
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
From the first call to the last day on site, you have one contact for the rental.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
Why clients trust us
What you see is what we quote: a named trailer, its listed equipment, a starting monthly price, and a person on the phone any hour. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In South Carolina
Planning a kitchen rental in South Carolina
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 McClellanville could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
2. Major construction
When a hospital adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the existing kitchen offline in phases. In Columbia, a phased project like that could run food service from a leased mobile kitchen during each shutdown.
3. Kitchen renovation
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Smyrna, a facility like that could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using reusable plates.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in South Carolina, the South Carolina Emergency Management Division 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 South Carolina
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in South 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 South Carolina
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 South Carolina
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in South Carolina?
Yes. We serve South 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 South Carolina; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in South Carolina?
The same starting prices apply in South 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 South Carolina are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in South Carolina?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for South 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 I rent a temporary kitchen during a renovation?
Yes. Renovation is the most common reason for a kitchen rental. The trailer parks near your building, connects to power and water, and carries food service until the permanent kitchen reopens. Rentals run by the week or month, so the term can follow your construction schedule.
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.
What kitchen equipment can I rent?
Mobile kitchen trailers from 24 ft to 40 ft, dishwashing trailers with push-through or conveyor machines, and refrigerated trailers and containers. Kitchens range from standard cooking lines to bulk kitchens with tilting skillets and walk-in coolers.
