Fort Jones, California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Fort Jones is named for a U.S. Army outpost that operated from 1852 to 1858; officers stationed there later included Phil Sheridan, and Ulysses S. Grant was ordered here but resigned before arriving. The town in Scott Valley is a registered California Historical Landmark, and ranching has long anchored the local economy. Winters average about 16 inches of snow.
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 Fort Jones site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Fort Jones
Mild winters, lows near 32°F
January lows near 32°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
July highs near 96°F
At 96°F a cooking line and a refrigeration unit compete for the same power and the same cool air. Refrigerated trailers work hardest in these months, and a failed walk-in can lose a day of stock fast, which is why we treat cooler failures as emergencies.
Delivery from Sacramento
Fort Jones is roughly 220 miles from Sacramento, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Fort Jones
Ranching and haying crews
Ranching has long been central here, and hay, branding and field work bring crews during the warm months. Ranch operations that need to feed workers on site can use a kitchen and dishwashing trailer, since restaurants in the valley are limited.
Museum and landmark visitors
The town's museum, its historical landmark status and the fort history draw visitors and groups. Group tours and community events that exceed the seating and kitchen capacity in town can add a trailer kitchen at a private lot or community hall for a day.
Winter snow outages
Snowfall averages about 16 inches a year, with cold nights in a mountain valley. Storms that cut power or block roads can leave a school, care or ranch kitchen without refrigeration, so a refrigeration trailer protects stock while repairs are made.
- Crew meals during ranch and haying seasons
- Group event catering for landmark visitors
- Refrigeration backup after winter storm outages

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 should equipment handle a Scott Valley winter?
Winters bring snow and cold nights, so ask about freeze protection for water lines, heated hoses and a dependable power or fuel supply. Check with the county health department on cold-weather requirements for a temporary kitchen.
Can a trailer be set up on ranch property?
Possibly, depending on zoning and use. Ask the county planning office about temporary uses on agricultural land, and the county environmental health office whether feeding employees on site needs a permit or inspection.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Fort Jones 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 Sacramento warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Fort Jones when we quote.

No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
