Low elevation, about 10 feet
Makaha 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.

Makaha, Hawaii Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Makaha lies on Oahu's leeward coast at the foot of Mount Kaala, the island's highest point at 4,020 feet, and is the last leeward community before undeveloped land to the north. It hosted the Makaha International Surfing Championships from 1954 to 1971, and Buffalo's Big Board Contest is still held there.
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 Makaha site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Makaha
Mild winters, lows near 68°F
January lows near 68°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
July highs near 87°F
Warm summers, with highs near 87°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Close to our Honolulu warehouse
Makaha is only about 25 miles in a straight line from our Honolulu warehouse, one of the shorter deliveries we make. We still confirm the route, access, and your delivery window at quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Makaha
Surf contest crowds
Buffalo's Big Board Contest is held at Makaha, where winter swells often top fifteen feet. Event organizers working from a beach park on Farrington Highway can use a kitchen, dishwashing and cold storage trailer to feed volunteers, officials and spectators for the day.
Resort weekend programs
Makaha Resort holds weekend fairs of Hawaiian arts and crafts and cultural programs. When visitor-facing food service outgrows its kitchen, or a kitchen is closed for repairs, a leased trailer can supply cooking and dishwashing capacity. The trailer can sit on a paved lot or an open pad near the event space and be set up before guests arrive.
School kitchen projects
Makaha Elementary School operates in the community, and Hawaii Department of Education campuses nearby depend on in-house kitchens. During a kitchen renovation or equipment failure, a temporary cooking line and refrigeration trailer lets meal service continue. The trailer can supply cooking, dishwashing and cold storage for a full school day while the permanent kitchen is out of service.
- Volunteer and spectator meals at surf contests
- Added kitchen capacity for resort weekend programs
- Temporary school kitchen during renovation or failure
Delivery from our Honolulu warehouse to Makaha
We keep equipment in Honolulu, the Hawaii capital, and plan every delivery from there. Makaha is about 25 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 Makaha
Makaha is on Oahu, so trailers travel by road from the Honolulu warehouse with no barge needed. Farrington Highway (Route 93) runs along the leeward coast through Makaha and connects to Interstate H-1 in the southwest. The highway does not continue around Kaena Point, so plan on the same corridor in and out.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Farrington Highway is the main road through the leeward coast and does not run past Kaena Point, and big winter surf is routine here. If a kitchen or cooler fails, our 24/7 emergency deployment brings temporary cooking and refrigeration by road.

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 is the road route from the warehouse to Makaha?
Trailers go by road on Oahu. Route 93 connects the leeward coast to Interstate H-1. Traffic and road work vary, so share your trailer length and site address and ask dispatch to check current conditions on the Hawaii Department of Transportation site.
Can a trailer be set up at a beach park for an event?
Beach parks are public property, and event, vendor and food-service permits are likely needed. Contact the park's managing agency and the Hawaii Department of Health early to learn what the site allows, including trailer placement and utility access.
How fast can a trailer get to Makaha if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Makaha 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.
