Del Mar, California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Del Mar is home to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where the San Diego County Fair has had a permanent site since 1936 and where horse racing has run since 1937. More than 300 events a year include the National Horse Show, Scream Zone and Holiday of Lights. Interstate 5 bypasses the town, and coastal bluffs and a rail line shape its shoreline.
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 Del Mar site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Del Mar
Mild winters, lows near 47°F
January lows near 47°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
Cool summers, highs near 76°F
With July highs around 76°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
A long haul from Sacramento
From our Sacramento warehouse to Del Mar is about 455 miles as the crow flies. Longer hauls mean more planning, so we recommend an early call, and a 24/7 emergency call is always answered.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Del Mar
Summer racing meet and county fair
Live racing runs from July into early September, and the county fair fills the grounds. Hospitality operators, concessionaires and event organizers face long days with heavy meal service, and added cooking, dishwashing and cooler capacity helps them keep up without permanent construction.
Fall meet and Holiday of Lights
A second racing meet runs from November into early December, and the Holiday of Lights follows on the same grounds. Event operators that run catered hospitality for months at a time can bring in a kitchen and dishwashing trailer to extend capacity during peak weekends.
School kitchen downtime
The Del Mar Union School District runs eight K-8 schools, and a separate district handles high school. When a school kitchen is closed for repairs or equipment replacement, a mobile kitchen with a cooking line and sinks keeps hot meals available during the school year.

Delivery from our Sacramento warehouse to Del Mar
We keep equipment in Sacramento, the California capital, and plan every delivery from there. Del Mar is about 455 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 Del Mar
Interstate 5 passes the town and runs south from Sacramento through the Central Valley and into Southern California. Race meets and the county fair bring heavy traffic around the fairgrounds, so check the event calendar, confirm the gate and staging area with fairgrounds management, and avoid peak arrival hours.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Bluffs along the south beach are prone to collapse, and coastal erosion and sea-level rise threaten homes and the rail line. A collapse or storm that cuts power or closes a beachside kitchen is a case for 24/7 emergency deployment of cooking or refrigeration.

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 be set up on the fairgrounds?
The fairgrounds is run by its own management with event rules, so contact them about vendor space, utilities and schedules. Also ask the San Diego County environmental health office about temporary food facility permits for the exact dates of your event.
How does the coastal climate affect equipment?
Salt air and morning marine layer are common near the coast, so ask about corrosion resistance, weather protection for burners and clear exhaust. Confirm with the fire authority where propane tanks and generators may be placed near buildings and crowds.
