Low elevation, about 470 feet
At roughly 470 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.

Kake, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
On the northwest coast of Kupreanof Island, Kake is a Tlingit community whose name means roughly "mouth of dawn." Sitting at 57 degrees north, it has no true polar night but still sees about 17 hours of darkness at the winter solstice. A 128-foot totem pole, carved in 1967, stands in the city, and the Kake City School District operates the school.
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 Kake site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Kake
Mild winters, lows near 29°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 29°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
Cool summers, highs near 66°F
Summer highs near 66°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 Kake 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 Kake
Totem pole visitors and gatherings
The Organized Village of Kake, a federally recognized Tlingit tribe, is headquartered here, and a 128-foot totem pole carved in 1967 draws interest. When tribal or city gatherings outgrow community buildings, a trailer kitchen adds temporary serving, cooking and dishwashing capacity.
Ferry-dependent supply
The community is served by state ferry sailings, including day-boat service. When a sailing is canceled or a vessel is out of service, perishable deliveries for a school, clinic or food business can stall. A refrigeration trailer or container holds stock until the next delivery.
Long winter nights
With about 17 hours of darkness at the solstice, outdoor repair and construction work in midwinter is slow and costly. Crews on a city or tribal project need warm meals and a place to clean up on site, which a kitchen trailer with shower and sleeper units can supply.
- Event kitchen for tribal and city gatherings
- Cold holding during ferry delays
- Winter crew kitchen with showers
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Kake
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Kake is about 95 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 Kake
Kake is on Kupreanof Island and is served by Alaska Marine Highway day-boat sailings and some mainline sailings. From the Juneau warehouse, a trailer would travel by state ferry or barge. Check current schedules and vehicle length and height limits, as ferry service varies by season and funding.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The community depends on ferry and air links, and winter days are short. If a kitchen, dish room or walk-in cooler fails when the next sailing is days away, our 24/7 emergency deployment can arrange a replacement trailer and freight plan.

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
Can a trailer come over on the ferry?
State ferries serve Kake, but vehicle length, height and weight limits apply, and oversize loads often need advance booking. Ask the ferry system about current sailings and size rules, or ask a barge operator about a dedicated move for a larger unit.
Who do I contact before setting up?
Start with the city, which has a manager and council, and with the Organized Village of Kake if the site is tribal land. Also ask the agency that permits food service for your kind of facility about plan review, power, water and wastewater requirements.
How fast can a trailer get to Kake 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 Kake 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.
