Low elevation, about 150 feet
At roughly 150 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.

Galena, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Galena stands on the north bank of the Yukon River and uses the former Galena Air Force Station, including its paved runway of more than 8,000 feet. The Galena Interior Learning Academy, a public boarding school for grades 9 through 12, occupies the old barracks and administrative buildings. Winters are severe, with about 77 inches of snow a year.
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 Galena site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Galena
January lows near -9°F
Deep winter cold is the main planning item. Water lines, grease traps, and hand sinks can freeze overnight, so we plan heated, insulated connections and a propane or electric heat source, and we ask about heat tape and a covered hookup on site.
Cool summers, highs near 68°F
Summer highs near 68°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 Galena 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 Galena
Residential school dining
A public boarding school for grades 9 through 12 occupies the former air station. Residential campuses serve several meals a day to every student, so when a kitchen or dish room goes down, a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer can keep meals on schedule during repairs and the long wait for parts.
Flood recovery crews
In May 2013 a breakup ice jam flooded about 90 percent of homes, and FEMA and volunteer groups helped rebuild. Recovery crews, volunteers and displaced residents need meals, dishwashing and cold storage for weeks while permanent facilities are repaired and reopened.
Yukon 800 speedboat race
Galena is the halfway point of the Yukon 800, an annual summer speedboat race. Crews, volunteers and spectators at the stop can overwhelm local food service for a few days, and an event kitchen trailer adds cooking, dishwashing and refrigeration for hosts.
- Residential school kitchen backup
- Flood recovery meals and cold storage
- Event catering at the Yukon 800 stop
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Galena
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Galena is about 855 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 Galena
Galena is off the road system and reached by air, boat or snowmachine. Heavy goods such as vehicles and building materials arrive by summer river barge, and the paved runway handles large aircraft. A trailer from Juneau would likely go by barge in open water, so confirm carrier schedules.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
In May 2013 a breakup ice jam downstream backed up the Yukon and flooded about 90 percent of homes, and most residents evacuated by air. Cold of minus 70 has been recorded too. We deploy kitchen and refrigeration units 24/7 after floods or deep freezes.

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.
Why choose Simply Indians

Frequently asked questions
Is breakup flooding a concern for trailer placement?
Yes. A 2013 breakup ice jam flooded much of the city, and an Air Force flood dike protects the runway and school campus. Ask the city about elevations and flood guidance, and consider timing for equipment staged near the river.
Is fuel supply a concern for generators?
The city stores large quantities of fuel oil because of its location, but supply still depends on summer barge deliveries. Ask the city and local suppliers about diesel availability and delivery lead times before relying on a generator.
How fast can a trailer get to Galena if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Juneau warehouse, and the delivery time to Galena depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
