T.1Delivery
Getting a trailer to Lost Nation
Lost Nation is more than 150 straight-line miles from Des Moines, Iowa's largest city, so a closed kitchen here rarely has a backup nearby. We plan the route, the arrival window, and any oversize-load timing before the trailer leaves, and book early when a renovation date is set.
Projects elsewhere in Clinton County are quoted the same way: equipment at the starting rate, delivery for the address.

Planning a kitchen rental in Lost Nation, IA
Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
1
Past emergencies in Lost Nation, IA
Record FEMA lists 10 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Clinton County, which includes Lost Nation. The most recent is severe storms (DR-4557), declared August 17, 2020. 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 “County wide roads” (roads and bridges, $849,021) after the severe storm(s) declared March 23, 2019 (DR-4421). Public rebuilding projects also bring crews who need meals. A mobile kitchen with a dish trailer can feed them on site.
3
Kitchen renovation
ScenarioA nursing home in Oxford Junction renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. It could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using real plates.
4

During a declared emergency in Lost Nation, Iowa, Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management and local officials direct public relief logistics, staging, and road access.

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
Units arrive ready to connect, so setup is measured in hours.
02
24/7 Emergency Service
A person answers the phone at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
03
End-to-End Project Support
One contact from the first call to the last day on site.
04
Flexible Rental Solutions
Rent for a week or lease for as long as the renovation runs.
05
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Every unit page lists its equipment, so you know what's inside before delivery.
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.
