When the cooking line in Manilla goes down, we rent commercial kitchen trailers that keep meals moving, plus dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for what the kitchen loses with it. Call on them after a fire, flood, or failed hood, or schedule them for a planned remodel, with short-term rentals by the week and long-term leases by the month. Healthcare, education, corrections, government, military, hospitality, and catering teams use them to stay on their meal schedule. Delivery and setup are scheduled with your facilities team, and our line is answered 24/7. Get a quote today, or call any hour to talk it through.

Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
Record FEMA lists 10 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Crawford County, which includes Manilla. The most recent is severe winter storm (DR-4870), declared May 21, 2025. Storms and floods of that scale often damage kitchens below grade or knock out gas and power. A kitchen trailer rental parked near the dock can carry food service until the building is safe.
Record FEMA Public Assistance funded “Electrical distribution line damage” (utilities, $1,959,438) after the winter storm declared May 21, 2025 (DR-4870). Rebuilding work like that can close roads and cut utilities to nearby kitchens. A leased kitchen trailer on temporary service keeps a facility cooking through the shutoffs.
ScenarioA hotel in Defiance remodeling its kitchen could keep banquets booked by cooking in a rented commercial kitchen beside the building.
During a declared emergency in Manilla, Iowa, Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management 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.
Mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 a month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895. 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.

T.5Terms
What every rental includes, wherever the site is. A quote covers equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup for your address. Starting rates are the same in Manilla as everywhere else; delivery is quoted by distance from Council Bluffs, about 55 straight-line miles away. We rent to commercial, institutional, and industrial sites only, not for residential use. An inquiry doesn't reserve equipment; availability is confirmed per project.
Weekly rentals or monthly leases.
Phones answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, emergencies included.
Allow about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for other units; stair access usually takes 5 to 15 minutes when needed, while ramp setup takes 4 to 6 hours when needed.
Scheduled for your site and confirmed in the quote. GPS tracking possible on request.
T.6Why us
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
Delivery is timed to the day your kitchen closes, so service doesn't skip a day.
02
A person answers the phone at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
03
One contact from the first call to the last day on site.
04
Weekly rentals for emergencies, monthly leases for rebuilds, and extensions when a project slips.
05
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
06
We schedule delivery, setup, and pickup around the work happening on your site.
What we list is what we quote: a named unit, its equipment, a starting monthly rate, and a person on the phone any hour. We work with hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
24/7 emergency line
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.
