Choosing the right Mobile Commercial Kitchen Trailer
Start with the menu and the number of meals per day. A 24ft or 28ft mobile commercial kitchen trailer suits scratch cooking for a school cafeteria, a restaurant that is rebuilding its line, or a crew kitchen on a construction site. A 38ft or 40ft unit adds a deep fryer, double-stack convection ovens and a tilting skillet for institutional production.
Combo kitchens add a walk-in cooler to the cooking line, which matters when the permanent walk-in is part of the renovation. Bulk kitchens, including the 40ft Bulk Kitchen and the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen, are set up for tilting-skillet and kettle-style production in hospitals, correctional facilities and large camps. If a kitchen is scheduled to run around the clock, ask us about pairing two portable kitchen trailers.
A mobile kitchen is only half of a food-service operation. Dishes still need washing and cold food still needs to stay cold, so many customers add a dishwashing trailer and an emergency refrigeration trailer to the same delivery.
Utilities and site planning for a portable kitchen trailer
Plan the electrical service first, because it differs by size. The 24ft and 28ft mobile kitchens list 220V single phase at 200A, and the 38ft and 40ft units list 220V single phase at 200 to 220A. Confirm the exact unit and connection with us before you hire an electrician.
A kitchen also needs potable water, a place for wastewater and grease to go, and a level pad with truck access. Where a sewer connection is not available, temporary holding tanks and scheduled pump-out can be arranged. Health, fire and building approvals differ by jurisdiction and by use, so check with your local authority early; we can supply the layout and equipment lists you will be asked for.
Delivery needs a clear route for a trailer of up to 40ft, and entry is by stairs or a ramp. Setup takes about 5 hours for kitchens, and ramp work can add 4 to 6 hours. Photos of ramps and stairs are on our camp and workforce housing page.

Mobile Commercial Kitchen Trailer rental FAQs
What is a mobile commercial kitchen trailer?
A mobile commercial kitchen trailer is a self-contained food-production kitchen on a trailer. It arrives with cooking equipment, sinks, prep tables and refrigeration, and connects to power and water on your site, so you can keep cooking during a renovation, a construction project or an emergency.
Which size portable kitchen trailer do I need?
Match the size to the menu and meals per day. 24ft and 28ft kitchens handle standard line cooking, 38ft and 40ft kitchens add a fryer, double-stack ovens and a tilting skillet, and combo and bulk kitchens add a walk-in cooler or bulk-production equipment. Call us with your numbers and we will recommend a size.
What power does a mobile kitchen trailer need?
The 24ft and 28ft kitchens list 220V single phase at 200A. The 38ft and 40ft kitchens list 220V single phase at 200 to 220A. Confirm the exact unit before wiring, because electrical requirements are not the same for every trailer.
Can I rent a portable kitchen trailer for a few weeks or for a year?
Yes. Rental periods are 1 week and monthly, and longer leases are common for multi-month renovations. Pricing steps down for longer terms; see the estimates on this site and call for an exact quote.
Do you deliver a mobile kitchen trailer to a construction site?
Yes. Construction site and onsite construction deliveries are routine. Tell us about gate access, ground conditions and where utilities are, and we will plan the route and placement with you.
How quickly can I get a mobile kitchen in an emergency?
Call the 24/7 Emergency Line at (888) 385-5513. Delivery time depends on the trailer, distance and availability, and we confirm it when you call rather than promise a time here.
