California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals with Dishwashing and Refrigeration
Facilities in California and around Amador City lease our emergency kitchen trailers, adding warewashing trailers and cold storage containers when the dish room or walk-in is out as well. Planned upgrades, new construction, and emergency closures each get the same options: short-term weekly rentals or long-term monthly leases. Hospital food services, campus dining, county jails, base dining halls, resorts, and golf clubs are the kitchens we support most. Our team plans the delivery route, the parking spot, and the utility hookups with you before the trailer leaves. Check trailer availability for California and request your quote now.

Planning a kitchen rental in California
Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
1
Past emergencies in California
Record FEMA lists 53 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering California. The most recent is wildfires and straight-line winds (DR-4856), declared January 8, 2025. Events like that can cut power for days, which spoils walk-in inventory and closes hospital and school kitchens. An emergency refrigeration trailer holds product while a mobile kitchen trailer keeps meals going.
2
Major construction
Record FEMA Public Assistance funded “City of Oakland Sewer” (utilities, $157,682) after the severe storm(s) declared April 3, 2023 (DR-4699). Public rebuilding projects also bring crews who need meals. A mobile kitchen with a dish trailer can feed them on site.
3
Kitchen renovation
Record FEMA Public Assistance also funded “Del Valle Marina” (buildings and equipment, $2,618,820) after DR-4683. When a public building is repaired, its kitchen is often part of the job. A temporary kitchen trailer and a dish trailer keep meals going through the renovation.
4
Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in California, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and local officials direct public relief logistics, staging, 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 California
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer. These starting rates apply in every location we serve. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted for your address. See every unit's starting price.

S.7Why us
Why kitchens call Commercial Kitchen Emergency 101
Food service is the first thing people notice when it stops. Planned cooking, dishwashing, and refrigeration trailers keep a facility in California serving through construction or a breakdown.
01
Accelerated Deployment
Delivery is timed to the day your kitchen closes, so service doesn't skip a day.
02
24/7 Emergency Service
Kitchen emergencies don't wait for business hours, and our line doesn't either.
03
End-to-End Project Support
We help match the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.
04
Flexible Rental Solutions
Weekly rentals for emergencies, monthly leases for rebuilds, and extensions when a project slips.
05
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
06
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and placement are planned before delivery day.
Why clients trust us
No surprises: published equipment lists, a starting monthly price on every unit, setup times stated up front, and a staffed 24/7 phone line. We work with hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
24/7 emergency line
Kitchen down? Emergency kitchen rentals in California
A fire, flood, or failed hood can close a kitchen overnight. Call any hour with your address, meals per day, when the kitchen went down, and the power and water on site.
S.8FAQ
Kitchen trailer rental questions in California
Q01Do you deliver mobile kitchen trailers to California?
Yes. California is inside our nationwide service area. Delivery timing and cost depend on your exact address, the unit, and site access, and both are confirmed in your quote. We have no local office; trailers come to your site.
Q02What does a kitchen trailer rental cost in California?
The same starting prices apply here as everywhere else we serve: kitchens from $4,995 per month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895. Delivery, setup, and pickup are quoted for your address.
Q03Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in California?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for your site, confirm your power and water, and give a delivery time once availability is confirmed. A refrigerated trailer can ride on the same delivery if your walk-in is down too.
Q04What utilities does a mobile kitchen trailer need?
Electrical service, potable water, and a wastewater plan. Our standard kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps; each unit page shows its own requirement. Wastewater goes to a sewer connection or to holding and pump-out, depending on the site.
Q05Which kitchen trailer size fits my operation?
Size it by meals per day and menu. A 24 or 28 ft kitchen covers conventional service; a 38 or 40 ft kitchen adds fryers, double-stack ovens, and a tilting skillet; a 40 ft bulk kitchen is built for institutional volume. Share your meal count and we'll recommend one.
Q06How long does setup take after delivery?
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.
