Ketchum, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Ketchum began as a smelting center for the Warm Springs mining district and later became a major sheep-shipping hub. It now sits beneath Bald Mountain in the Wood River Valley, a ski and summer resort area. Ernest Hemingway lived nearby in the late 1950s and is buried in the Ketchum Cemetery.
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 Ketchum site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ketchum
January lows near 11°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 11°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
Cool summers, highs near 84°F
Summer highs near 84°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Delivery from Boise
About 90 miles in a straight line from our Boise 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 Ketchum
Ski season peaks
Bald Mountain has 13 chairlifts and 65 runs, and the nearby resort averages about 164 inches of snow a year. The World Cup finals were held in March 2025 and are scheduled to return in March 2027, so restaurants, lodges, and event hosts can need extra kitchen capacity.
Wagon Days and festival weekends
Wagon Days runs each Labor Day weekend, alongside Trailing of the Sheep, a film festival, and a jazz festival. Vendors, nonprofits, and caterers feeding large crowds at outdoor venues can use extra cooking lines, dishwashing, and cold storage that permanent kitchens cannot supply.
Wildfire and cold extremes
The 2013 Beaver Creek Fire covered the resort area in ash and soot, and a 2007 fire also threatened the valley. Winter records reach -46F and summer highs 98F. Evacuations and equipment failures can call for temporary kitchens, showers, and refrigeration.
- Ski season restaurant and lodge overflow kitchens
- Wagon Days and festival vendor cooking
- Wildfire evacuation shelter meals and showers
Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Ketchum
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ketchum is about 90 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 Ketchum
State Highway 75 serves Ketchum from the south and runs north over Galena Summit at 8,701 feet. From Boise, take I-84 east to exit 95, then US 20 east over Cat Creek Summit (5,527 feet) to Timmerman Junction and SH 75. Check Idaho 511 for winter conditions.
If your project spans more than one site, Sun Valley, about 2 miles from Ketchum, and Hailey, about 13 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Bellevue at 16 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The 2013 Beaver Creek Fire blanketed the area in ash and prompted a state disaster declaration, and winter lows have reached -46F. 24/7 emergency deployment can bring temporary kitchens, showers, or refrigeration trailers.

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
Do festival vendors need a food permit in Blaine County?
Temporary food operations in Idaho generally need a license through the local public health district, and requirements vary by district and event. Contact the district that covers Blaine County early to confirm forms, fees, and menu limits.
Does winter snow affect trailer placement?
Yes. With about 164 inches of snow a year at the nearby resort and a record low of -46F, you will want a plowed, level pad, protected water lines, and reliable heat. Tell us your dates when you book so we can plan winterization.
How fast can a trailer get to Ketchum if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Ketchum 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.

- Power available at the site (voltage, phase, amps) and water and wastewater connections.
