Lake County, Illinois Emergency Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Leasing

Facilities in Lake County and around Old Mill Creek 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 Lake County and request your quote now.

Planning a kitchen rental in Lake County, IL

  1. 1

    Past emergencies in Lake County, IL

    Record FEMA lists 5 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Lake County, Illinois. The most recent is severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding (DR-4116), declared May 10, 2013. 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.
