Dos Palos, California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Dos Palos takes its name from Spanish words for two timbers, after two large poplars an explorer noted in the 1820s. Rancher Henry Miller and Bernhard Marks founded Dos Palos Colony in 1891, and the town incorporated in 1935. It lies in southern Merced County, which grows about 90 percent of California's sweet potatoes and is home to large food processors.
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 Dos Palos site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Dos Palos
Mild winters, lows near 41°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 41°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 105°F
Typical July highs reach about 105°F. Kitchen trailers need shade or ventilation help, and refrigeration units run longer cycles, so we size the power supply for the heat and not just the nameplate.
Delivery from Sacramento
About 120 miles in a straight line from our Sacramento warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Dos Palos
Sweet potato harvest and processing
Merced County leads the state in sweet potatoes, and major food processors operate in the county. Growers and packers that need to feed crews on site during peak weeks can use a kitchen and dishwashing trailer, since restaurants are not near every field.
Valley heat waves
Daytime highs in the Central Valley often exceed 100°F, and heat waves can push past 115°F. A failed walk-in cooler or freezer in that heat spoils stock quickly, so a refrigeration trailer or container is a practical bridge for restaurants, care facilities and school kitchens.
School kitchen downtime
Dos Palos High School and its feeder schools serve a large farming area. 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.
- On-site meals for harvest and packing crews
- Refrigeration backup during valley heat waves
- Temporary school kitchen during repairs
Delivery from our Sacramento warehouse to Dos Palos
We keep equipment in Sacramento, the California capital, and plan every delivery from there. Dos Palos is about 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 Dos Palos
SR 33 and SR 152 are among the state routes crossing Merced County, and the valley roads are flat. We have not verified a route from Sacramento. Tule fog from November through March can sharply reduce visibility, so plan winter arrivals carefully and confirm staging with the city.
If your project spans more than one site, Firebaugh, about 13 miles from Dos Palos, and Gustine, about 27 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can San Joaquin at 36 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

Emergency deployment, any hour
Central Valley summers often top 100°F, with heat waves above 115°F, and most valley lowlands are flood-prone behind levees. Heat, flooding or outages that disable a kitchen or cooler are cases for 24/7 emergency deployment of cooking and 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
What should we plan for in summer heat?
Ask about shaded placement, adequate shore power or generator capacity for refrigeration, and ventilation around equipment. Hot-weather food safety guidance comes from the Merced County environmental health office, which can explain what it expects for a temporary kitchen.
Can a trailer be placed at a packing or farm site?
Possibly, depending on zoning and use. Ask the county planning office about temporary uses on agricultural land, and ask the county environmental health office whether feeding employees on site needs a permit or inspection.
How fast can a trailer get to Dos Palos if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Sacramento warehouse, and the delivery time to Dos Palos 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.
