Planning a kitchen rental in Chicago, IL
Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
1
Past emergencies in Chicago, IL
Record FEMA lists 9 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Cook County, which includes Chicago. The most recent is severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and floodng (DR-4819), declared September 20, 2024. After a declared disaster, repair crews are booked for weeks.

2
Major construction
ScenarioWhen a hospital near Cicero adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the kitchen offline in phases. A leased mobile kitchen could cover each shutdown.
3
Kitchen renovation
ScenarioSchools near Stickney often remodel cafeterias over the summer. A leased mobile kitchen would keep summer meal programs running.
4

T.6Why us
Why kitchens call Commercial Kitchen Emergency 101
A closed kitchen doesn't cancel lunch. Patients, students, residents, and crews still expect meals on time, so the temporary setup has to cook, wash, and keep food cold from day one.
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
One contact from the first call to the last day on site.
04
Flexible Rental Solutions
Weekly rentals for emergencies, monthly leases for rebuilds, and extensions when a project slips.
05
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts.
06
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and placement are planned before delivery day.
Why clients trust us
We show the details before you call: each trailer's equipment, its power needs where we have them, and its starting monthly price. We work with hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
24/7 emergency line

T.7FAQ
Kitchen trailer rental questions in Chicago
Q01Do you deliver mobile kitchen trailers to Chicago, IL?
Yes. Chicago, IL 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 Chicago, IL?
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 Chicago, IL?
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.
Q04Can I keep serving meals during a kitchen renovation?
Yes. Renovation is the most common reason to rent. The trailer parks next to your building, connects to power and water, and carries food service until the permanent kitchen reopens. Weekly and monthly terms let the rental follow your construction schedule.
Q05What equipment can I rent when my commercial kitchen goes down?
Mobile kitchen trailers from 24 ft to 40 ft, dishwashing trailers with push-through or conveyor machines, and refrigerated trailers and containers. For crews and long projects we also rent shower-restroom, laundry, and sleeper trailers.
Q06Which 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. The 30 ft conveyor trailer needs three-phase power.
