When the cooking line in Rudd 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 11 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Floyd County, which includes Rudd. The most recent is severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes (DR-4796), declared June 24, 2024. 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.
Record FEMA Public Assistance funded “Sub recipient self certification Floyd County secondary roads GD 86,88,95.” (roads and bridges, $119,729) after the severe storm(s) declared August 20, 2018 (DR-4386). 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 Rockford remodeling its kitchen could keep banquets booked by cooking in a rented commercial kitchen beside the building.
During a declared emergency in Rudd, 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.
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer. 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
Plain terms, before you pick up the phone. A quote covers equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup for your address. Starting rates are the same in Rudd as everywhere else; delivery is quoted by distance from Waterloo, about 50 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.
1 week or monthly: short-term rentals or long-term leases.
Phones answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, emergencies included.
Overall about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for other units. Stairs: 5 to 15 minutes when stairs are needed. Ramp: 4 to 6 hours when a ramp is 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
We plan the unit, route, and placement on the first call, which cuts the time from call to first meal.
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
Short-term and long-term terms on the same simple basis: by the week or by the month.
05
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts.
06
Access routes, stairs or ramps, and hookups are agreed in advance.
No surprises: published equipment lists, a starting monthly price on every unit, setup times stated up front, and a staffed 24/7 phone line. 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.
T.7FAQ
Yes. Rudd, IA 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.
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.
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.
Often, but it depends on the jurisdiction. Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals vary by city and county and by how the kitchen will be used. Contact your local authorities early; we'll provide the equipment details they ask for.
About 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers and about 1 hour for other units. Stairs take 5 to 15 minutes to place; a ramp, when needed, takes 4 to 6 hours.
Electrical service, potable water, and a wastewater plan. Our standard kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps; each unit page shows its own requirement. Wastewater goes to a sewer connection or to holding and pump-out, depending on the site.
