Low elevation, about 1,420 feet
At roughly 1,420 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.

Hoonah, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Facing Icy Strait from the north shore of Chichagof Island, Hoonah is a largely Tlingit community. Cruise ships anchor off Icy Strait Point from May to September, and the 1930s cannery there is now a museum, restaurant and shops. About 240 ship visits and roughly 500,000 visitors came in 2024, so summer drives local jobs.
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 Hoonah site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Hoonah
January lows near 24°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 24°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
Cool summers, highs near 59°F
Summer highs near 59°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 Hoonah 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 Hoonah
Ship-day demand
Icy Strait Point is a privately owned cruise destination, and about 240 ship visits arrived in 2024. A restaurant, tour operator or event host serving large groups on ship days could outgrow its kitchen. A trailer kitchen adds temporary cooking and dishwashing capacity for the busiest stretch.
Fire and rebuilding
A 1944 fire destroyed much of the town, and a 2010 fire and explosions destroyed a lumber mill. Fire can leave a kitchen out of service for months. A trailer kitchen keeps meals going for an institution or business while a damaged building is assessed and rebuilt.
Ferry gaps
The community is reached only by boat or plane, and state ferry coverage has had gaps due to funding and repairs. If a delivery slips, perishable stock held by a school, clinic or business is at risk. A refrigeration trailer gives temporary cold storage until the next sailing.
- Peak cruise-season kitchen overflow
- Interim kitchen after fire damage
- Cold storage during ferry service gaps
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Hoonah
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Hoonah is about 40 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 Hoonah
Hoonah can be reached only by boat or plane. It is about 30 miles from the Juneau warehouse across the Inside Passage, served by state ferry day-boat sailings and daily seaplane flights. A trailer would go by ferry or barge. Confirm vehicle length limits and sailing dates, since ferry coverage has had gaps.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Annual precipitation here averages about 66 inches, with roughly 90 inches of snow, mostly November through March, and ferry coverage has had gaps. If a kitchen or cooler fails when supply is thin, our 24/7 emergency deployment can arrange a replacement unit.

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 do trailers reach Hoonah from Juneau?
By water. A state ferry day boat serves Hoonah, and barges are another option. Ferry schedules have shifted with funding and repairs, and vehicle length and height limits apply. Check current sailings and size rules with the ferry system, or ask a barge operator about a booking.
Who controls space near the dock?
Icy Strait Point is privately owned and operated by a Tlingit-owned corporation, while the city handles roads, utilities and public safety. For any site, confirm access and permission with the property owner, and ask the city and the food-service permitting agency what is required.

Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Hoonah site is, and we check availability from our Juneau warehouse and quote the delivery.
