The most recent is severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding (DR-4116), declared May 10, 2013. After a declared disaster, repair crews are booked for weeks.

T.7FAQ
Kitchen trailer rental questions in Highwood
Q01Do you deliver mobile kitchen trailers to Highwood, IL?
Yes. Highwood, 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 Highwood, 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 Highwood, 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.
Q05Which 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.
Q06Which 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.
