Low elevation, about 0 feet
Whittier is near sea level in terms of cooking, so appliances run as rated. The planning questions are power, water, and drainage, which we work through with you.

Whittier, Alaska Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Whittier sits at the head of Passage Canal on Prince William Sound, inside the Chugach National Forest. A single road and rail tunnel through the mountain is the only land access. The deep-water port serves cruise ships and the Alaska Marine Highway, and about 197 inches of precipitation fall in an average 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 Whittier site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Whittier
January lows near 23°F
Whittier sees January lows near 23°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
Cool summers, highs near 63°F
With July highs around 63°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
Delivery from Juneau
Equipment for Whittier ships from our Juneau warehouse, and the best transport mode depends on the season and the load. We plan the route, the size and weight limits, and local handling with you before anything moves.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Whittier
Tunnel-limited summer crowds
Cruise ships and cruise-tour transfers use the port, and the tunnel alternates traffic directions every half hour, with trains able to add delays. Restaurants and operators facing crowds without extra staging room can use a mobile kitchen near the harbor.
Oversize equipment limits
Larger or heavier vehicles must be transported by rail rather than through the tunnel. A facility that needs a kitchen or refrigeration unit may find a mobile trailer easier to schedule than hauling and installing permanent equipment through that one access point.
Tsunami and storm recovery
The 1964 earthquake sent a 43-foot tsunami into Whittier and killed 13 people, and the area is extremely wet year-round. After flood or storm damage, kitchens and cold storage may be unusable, and temporary trailers support recovery crews and residents.
- Cruise and harbor-front dining overflow
- Kitchen or cooler replacement without permanent hauling
- Post-storm feeding and cold storage support
Delivery from our Juneau warehouse to Whittier
We keep equipment in Juneau, the Alaska capital, and plan every delivery from there. Whittier is about 525 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 Whittier
The Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel is the only land access, about 2.5 miles long and shared by road and rail, with traffic alternating direction roughly every half hour. Larger or heavier vehicles may need rail transport instead. Check current hours and size limits with the state before planning.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Whittier has one land route, the tunnel, which follows published daily hours, and the 1964 tsunami reached 43 feet here. A kitchen or cooler failure on a tunnel-limited day is what our 24/7 emergency deployment addresses.

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 go through the tunnel?

Whittier receives about 197 inches of precipitation in an average year. Ask us about waterproofing and drainage, plan for slick surfaces during setup, and check health authority requirements for temporary kitchens.
