We rent kitchen trailers across Madison, along with dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. Rent one by the week after a breakdown or lease it by the month through a construction project; short-term and long-term terms are both available. They serve healthcare, education, corrections, government, military, and hospitality kitchens that can't stop feeding people. We coordinate delivery, placement, and setup around your utilities, site access, and schedule. Send your dates and location, and we'll check availability and send a quote.

Local facts
Madison is within about 25 straight-line miles of Brookings. 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 Ramona and Rustic Acres Colony.
Local planning
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Madison and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
Send the location, dates, and equipment list. We'll quote equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup as separate lines so you can budget them.
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Madison. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
Send photos or a site plan. Long trailers need a clear turning path; we'll confirm the route and placement before the delivery date.
We also deliver to Lake Madison and Wentworth, so a multi-site operator can plan kitchens across the area on one set of terms.

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.
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
Call any hour to start an emergency kitchen or refrigeration rental.
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Straight answers build trust: published equipment lists, starting monthly prices on every unit, setup times stated up front, and a 24/7 phone line. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Madison
The examples below are planning scenarios, not past jobs. They show how a rental fits the situations facilities run into most.
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Madison could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
Utility upgrades in an older building can cut gas or power to the kitchen for days at a time. A facility in Madison facing scheduled shutoffs could run meals from a leased kitchen trailer wired to temporary service.
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Madison, a facility like that could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using reusable plates.
During a declared emergency in Madison, South Dakota, the South Dakota Department of Public Safety 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.
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in Madison, $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
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

Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Madison, 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.
It depends on meals per day, menu, and staff. A 24 or 28 ft standard kitchen suits conventional meal service; a 38 or 40 ft kitchen adds fryers, double-stack ovens, and tilting skillets; a 40 ft bulk kitchen is built for institutional volume. Tell us your meal count and menu and we'll recommend a size.
