Low elevation, about 540 feet
At roughly 540 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

Craig, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Craig grew out of a fish saltery set up in 1907 and is now the largest community on Prince of Wales Island. Two harbors serve a commercial fleet, charter lodges bring in sport anglers and hunters after salmon, black bear and deer, and the Forest Service district office is a major employer. Precipitation is heavy year-round, peaking in autumn.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Craig site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Craig
Mild winters, lows near 33°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 33°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
Cool summers, highs near 60°F
Summer highs near 60°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Delivery from Juneau
Alaska is not one connected road network, and much of it is reached by ferry, barge, or air freight. Whether Craig can take a trailer by road or needs another route is confirmed when we quote, so give us your dates early.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Craig
Peak-summer sport fishing
Charter lodges draw anglers for salmon and hunters for black bear and deer, and boats often anchor in the bay during the peak summer season. A lodge or dockside operator can use a kitchen or dishwashing trailer when demand outgrows a kitchen or equipment fails.
Commercial fleet and cold storage
Fishing and fish processing form the largest part of the economy, and the town began with a saltery and cold storage plant. A failed walk-in cooler or freezer holding catch can be covered by an emergency refrigeration trailer while it is repaired.
Forest Service and contractor field crews
The Forest Service is a major employer, and the island's logging roads support field work. Crews staging for road, trail or timber projects need a camp kitchen, showers and sleeper units that do not strain town lodging during the busy summer months.
- Lodge kitchen overflow in peak fishing season
- Cold-storage backup for commercial catch
- Camp kitchen for Forest Service and road crews
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Craig
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Craig is about 200 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Craig
Craig is on Prince of Wales Island's west side. A trailer from Juneau would travel by state ferry or marine freight through Southeast Alaska, cross on the Inter-Island Ferry Authority (about three hours, running year-round), then drive roughly an hour from the terminal. Scheduled cargo barges also call at Craig. Confirm size limits.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
A magnitude 7.5 offshore earthquake in January 2013 led residents to evacuate voluntarily, with no damage reported, and rain is heavy year-round. Coastal alerts, storms and power or cooler failures can disrupt food service quickly, and we deploy 24/7.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the ferry crossing, and does it run year-round?
The Inter-Island Ferry Authority crossing takes about three hours and has run year-round, with the ferry terminal about an hour's drive from Craig. Confirm current schedules and vehicle length limits directly with the ferry authority before you book.
Can a trailer be delivered by barge?
Scheduled cargo barges often call at Craig, which may suit larger loads. Ask barge operators and the harbor about dock access, offloading equipment and timing, and check with state and local health authorities on permits for a temporary kitchen.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Craig in an emergency?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Juneau warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Craig when we quote.
