Riceville is a small city: under 10,000 people. Same trailers, same starting prices as a big city.

T.1Delivery

Getting a trailer to Riceville

Riceville is more than 130 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.

Before delivery day, send photos of the parking spot and the nearest power and water; it saves a site visit in Riceville.

Planning a kitchen rental in Riceville, IA

Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.

  1. 1

    Past emergencies in Riceville, IA

    Record FEMA lists 13 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Mitchell County, which includes Riceville. 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.

  2. 2

    Major construction

    Record FEMA Public Assistance funded “APP-CERT- Mitchell County Gravel Roads” (roads and bridges, $120,758) after the severe storm(s) declared March 23, 2019 (DR-4421). 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.

  3. 3

    Kitchen renovation

    ScenarioA nursing home in Elma 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. 4

    Emergency equipment access

    During a declared emergency in Riceville, 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.

  5. 5

    What a rental costs in Riceville, IA

    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.

    Flexible Rental Solutions
