Tennessee Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals Serving Knoxville
We rent kitchen trailers across Knoxville, along with dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. They cover sudden equipment failures and planned renovations alike, on short-term rentals by the week or long-term leases by the month. Hospital food services, school nutrition teams, prison kitchens, hotel banquet staff, and catering crews are the people we work with most. We coordinate delivery and setup, and can add shower or laundry trailers for crews on the same plan. Send your dates and location, and we'll check availability and send a quote.

Local planning
Where Knoxville projects usually start
1.You serve on reusable trays and plates
Pair the kitchen with a dishwashing trailer so warewashing keeps pace. Volume decides between push-through and conveyor machines.
2.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Knoxville and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
3.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.
4.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.
We also deliver to John Sevier and Powell, so a multi-site operator can plan kitchens across the area on one set of terms.

Planning a kitchen rental in Knoxville
The examples below are planning scenarios, not past jobs. They show how a rental fits the situations facilities run into most.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
A long power outage can spoil a walk-in's contents and damage compressors. For a school district in Knoxville, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental could hold product while the permanent unit is repaired.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Knoxville 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 John Sevier could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Knoxville, Tennessee, 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 Knoxville
In Knoxville, 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 Knoxville
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.

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Knoxville?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Knoxville, 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.

Yes. Rentals are available by the week or by the month (1 week or monthly), and long-term leases can run for the length of a multi-month renovation or rebuild.
How long does setup take?

What type of dishwashing trailer do I need?
Match it to volume. A 22 to 26 ft low-temperature push-through trailer handles moderate service; 30 and 38 ft conveyor trailers handle hospital, campus, and correctional volume. Note that the 30 ft conveyor trailer needs three-phase power.
