Low elevation, about 550 feet
At roughly 550 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.

Lawai, Hawaii Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Lawai lies on Kauai's south side along Kaumualii Highway (Route 50), which runs about 11 miles northeast to the county seat and about 6 miles west. Allerton Garden and McBryde Garden are the visitor draws here, set among the farms and plantation land that line this stretch of the highway.
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 Lawai site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Lawai
Mild winters, lows near 66°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 66°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
Cool summers, highs near 80°F
Summer highs near 80°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Delivery from Honolulu
Because Lawai is reached across water from our Honolulu warehouse, delivery depends on barge or air schedules and weather. Tell us your start date first and we work backward from it.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Lawai
Garden visits and private events
Allerton Garden and McBryde Garden bring visitors to the valley, and gardens that host guests may also host private dinners or fundraisers. A catering company working at a site without a commercial kitchen can use a leased trailer for prep, cooking and dishwashing.
Hurricane aftermath
Hurricane Iniki on September 11, 1992 downed about 37 percent of Kauai's distribution poles and left the whole island without electricity for an extended period. In an outage like that, a facility with a failed cooler or kitchen needs temporary refrigeration and cooking.
Corridor construction crews
Route 50 passes through Lawai on its way along the island's south and west sides, with farms along the corridor. Construction, utility or agricultural crews working the corridor can use a kitchen, restroom or shower trailer at a staging site.
- Catering trailer for garden dinners and fundraisers
- Temporary refrigeration and cooking after hurricane outages
- Crew kitchen and showers along the Route 50 corridor
Delivery from our Honolulu warehouse to Lawai
We keep equipment in Honolulu, the Hawaii capital, and plan every delivery from there. Lawai is about 115 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 Lawai
Equipment goes from Honolulu to Kauai by inter-island barge or air freight, then by road. Route 50 passes through Lawai, and Route 530 (Koloa Road) heads south from it. Trailers traveling from the island's east side follow about 11 miles of Route 50; confirm dimensions for narrower side roads before delivery.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Kauai's south side lived through Hurricane Iniki in 1992, with island-wide power loss and some areas waiting three to four months for service. Our 24/7 emergency deployment can supply temporary refrigeration and cooking when a facility loses its own equipment.

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 delivered to a garden or private estate property?
Often yes, if the drive, gate width and ground allow it. Send dispatch the trailer length, driveway details and utility locations, and confirm with the property owner about parking, noise and any approvals before the trailer arrives.
How does a trailer get from Honolulu to Lawai?
It crosses to Kauai by inter-island barge or air freight, then travels by truck along Kaumualii Highway (Route 50). Barge schedules affect planning, so call early for planned events and use the emergency line when equipment fails unexpectedly.
How fast can a trailer get to Lawai if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Lawai site is, and we check availability from our Honolulu warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
