Low elevation, about 50 feet
At roughly 50 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.

Mekoryuk, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Mekoryuk is the only permanent settlement on Nunivak Island, set on the north shore at the mouth of Shoal Bay on the Bering Sea. The island lies about 30 miles off the mainland coast. Musk oxen, brought in during the 1930s, and reindeer are managed on the island, and residents also rely on fishing and sea mammal hunting.
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 Mekoryuk site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Mekoryuk
January lows near 7°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 55°F
Summer highs near 55°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 Mekoryuk 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 Mekoryuk
Months between barge calls
Barges reach the island only once or twice each summer, with air service filling the gap. A school, clinic, or store that loses its walk-in cooler or freezer after a delivery may wait a long time for a replacement. A refrigeration trailer can protect stock until freight arrives.
School kitchen out of service
Nuniwarmiut School, a K-12 school built in 1984, anchors daily life on the island. If its kitchen or dish machine fails during the school year, meals still have to be served. A kitchen and dishwashing trailer can run beside the building while repair parts come by air.
Bering Sea storm exposure
A breakwater protects the shoreline from Bering Sea waves, a reminder that storms reach this coast directly. Power loss or damage during a storm can spoil stored food at any institution. Temporary refrigeration and a cooking line help a facility keep feeding people while systems are restored.
- School meal service during kitchen repairs
- Cold storage after a summer barge arrives
- Storm recovery kitchen for community shelter
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Mekoryuk
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Mekoryuk is about 1,120 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 Mekoryuk
Nunivak Island has no road connection to the mainland. A state-owned gravel runway gives year-round air access, while barges bring goods from the regional hub once or twice each summer. Any trailer would likely depend on barge timing and landing conditions at the shoreline; verify details with us ahead of time.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The shoreline here is shielded by a breakwater against Bering Sea waves, and freight arrives by barge only once or twice a summer. If a storm, outage, or equipment failure threatens food stocks, our 24/7 emergency deployment is built for that call.

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 get to Nunivak Island?
The island is reached by air year-round and by barge once or twice each summer, with no road or dock-to-highway link. A trailer would depend on barge timing. Contact us as soon as you know your dates so we can look at what routing is realistic.
Do I need approval before setting up a kitchen trailer?
Mekoryuk is in the Unorganized Borough, so county rules do not apply. Requirements depend on your use, so check with the state food safety program and the city or tribal government about permits, plan review, and where a trailer may be placed.
How fast can a trailer get to Mekoryuk 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 Mekoryuk 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.
