Franklin, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Franklin was founded on April 14, 1860, by Mormon pioneers and is described as the first permanent European settlement in present-day Idaho. It was the northernmost settlement in the Cache Valley and was platted in 1864. An 1872 survey placed it in Idaho Territory, about a mile north of the Utah line.
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 Franklin site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Franklin
January lows near 20°F
Franklin sees January lows near 20°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
July highs near 93°F
Warm summers, with highs near 93°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
A long haul from Boise
From our Boise warehouse to Franklin is about 250 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 Franklin
Heritage visits and anniversary events
As the first permanent European settlement in present-day Idaho, Franklin draws visitors interested in pioneer history. Museum groups, congregations, and families organizing anniversary dinners and tours may need kitchen and dishwashing capacity beyond what a meetinghouse or hall can provide.
Egg and food production cold storage
The area's poultry operations are well enough known that scenes from the film Napoleon Dynamite were shot at an egg farm nearby. For food producers and storage facilities, a cooler or freezer failure calls for quick temporary refrigeration to protect product.
Winter at the Utah line
Franklin County sits at high elevation along the Cache Valley, with parts of the Cache and Caribou National Forests inside the county. Winter storms and cold snaps can stress food service equipment, and a temporary kitchen or refrigeration trailer can cover a failure.

Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Franklin
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Franklin is about 250 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 Franklin
Franklin County is served by US 91 and State Highways 34 and 36, and the town lies just north of Utah. From Boise the trip runs east on I-84 and onto the eastern Idaho interstates. We have not verified the exact final approach, so confirm with us.
If your project spans more than one site, Lewiston, about 5 miles from Franklin, and Richmond, about 6 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Preston at 7 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

Emergency deployment, any hour

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
Which health district handles permits in Franklin County?
Idaho food licenses are handled by one of the state's public health districts, and the rules for mobile and temporary service vary by district. Contact the district that covers Franklin County to confirm plan review, fees, and inspection requirements.
Is the trailer allowed on a church or town-owned lot?
Often, but the lot owner and the health district both have a say. Confirm the owner's permission, a level pad, and utility connections, and ask the health district what it needs to see before the trailer opens for service.
How fast can a trailer get to Franklin if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Franklin site is, and we check availability from our Boise warehouse and quote the delivery.
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.
