Low elevation, about 10 feet
At roughly 10 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.

Selawik, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
The Selawik River empties into Selawik Lake here, and the community has grown across three riverbanks joined by bridges. Its Inupiaq name refers to sheefish. No road or rail line reaches town, so supplies and visitors come through the airport, and the borough-run school anchors most organized meal service.
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 Selawik site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Selawik
January lows near -11°F
Average January nights here drop to about -11°F. For a winter rental we confirm insulated hoses, heat tracing, and a generator or shore-power plan that keeps the heaters running.
Cool summers, highs near 64°F
Summer highs near 64°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 Selawik 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 Selawik
School kitchen goes down mid-year
Selawik's school is run by the Northwest Arctic Borough School District, and there is no road for a quick parts run. If a school or similar institutional kitchen loses its range, dish machine, or cooler, a temporary kitchen and dishwashing trailer can keep daily meals going while repairs are arranged by air.
Field crews near the wildlife refuge
Selawik National Wildlife Refuge lies nearby, a breeding and resting area for migratory waterfowl, and its wilderness section has no trails or facilities. A survey, research, or contractor crew working in the area may need a base camp with a kitchen, showers, and sleeper units set up in or near the community.
Cooler failure with air-only resupply
With no road or rail link, replacement food for a failed walk-in cooler or freezer would have to arrive by air. A refrigeration trailer can protect the remaining stock of a store, clinic, or school while a permanent repair or replacement is arranged.
- Temporary school or clinic kitchen during repairs
- Base camp kitchen for refuge field crews
- Emergency cold storage when coolers fail
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Selawik
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Selawik is about 985 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 Selawik
Selawik has no road or rail connection, and Selawik Airport provides its air service. The Juneau warehouse is also off the road network, so expect air or marine freight sized to the trailer. River barge service here is not verified, so confirm freight options before planning.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Air service is the only confirmed link into Selawik, so a kitchen or refrigeration failure cannot be solved with a quick supply run. Our 24/7 emergency deployment is built for that kind of failure, with trailer movement coordinated around available flights or barges.

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 kitchen trailer reach Selawik without a road?
Only by air or water, since the community has no road or rail connection. Whether a particular trailer fits an aircraft or a barge depends on its size, so confirm the dimensions with us and the carrier early and ask about landing and unloading arrangements.
Who approves a temporary kitchen for a school or clinic?
Requirements depend on the type of facility and who regulates it. Check with the state or local health authority that oversees your food service, and with the borough, before opening a temporary kitchen. Equipment specifications are usually needed for that review.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Selawik 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 Selawik when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
