Kooskia, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Where the South and Middle forks of the Clearwater River join, at 1,627 feet, Kooskia sits on US 12 with Idaho 13 running south. A national fish hatchery on Clear Creek is a local institution, and the town was called Stuart until 1909. The Chamber of Commerce runs Kooskia Days every July, now in its 72nd year.
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 Kooskia site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Kooskia
January lows near 21°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 21°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 90°F
Kooskia's July highs average about 90°F. That is a normal load for our equipment, but it is enough to expose an aging walk-in cooler, which is a common reason people call us.
Delivery from Boise
About 175 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 Kooskia
Kooskia Days weekend
Kooskia Days is held each July, and a festival weekend can send crowds well past what local restaurants are set up to feed. Organizers can add a mobile kitchen trailer with a licensed cooking line, and a separate dishwashing unit if they plan to use reusable plates and serviceware.
Crews working the river corridors
US 12 follows the Clearwater River through Kooskia and Idaho 13 heads south. Road, utility and construction crews working long shifts along these canyon routes may be far from a commercial kitchen, so hot meals, showers and sleeper units placed near the job can keep a project moving.
Cooler failure in summer heat
Kooskia's record high is 107 degrees Fahrenheit, and late summers run dry. In that heat a failed walk-in cooler at a restaurant, care facility or school kitchen can threaten a week of inventory quickly, and an emergency refrigeration trailer can protect stock while the permanent unit is repaired.

- Crew meals and showers along US 12

Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Kooskia
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Kooskia is about 175 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 Kooskia
Trailers start at our Boise warehouse, and the last miles into Kooskia follow US 12 and Idaho 13, both river-canyon roads with curves and limited shoulders. Winter snow and ice can affect towing. Check Idaho 511 for current conditions and confirm the full route when you call.
If your project spans more than one site, Stites, about 3 miles from Kooskia, and Kamiah, about 6 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Nezperce at 14 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
Who handles food permits for temporary kitchens in Idaho County?
Food permits in Idaho are issued through the regional public health district. Idaho County is generally covered by the north central district, but confirm that with the county or district before your event. Ask about application deadlines and what a mobile or temporary kitchen must show.
Can a trailer reach a site off the river highways?
It depends on the site. Canyon roads can be narrow, with tight turns and little level ground for setup. Share the address, driveway width, overhead clearance and ground conditions when you call so the placement can be planned, and check Idaho 511 for road conditions.
How fast can a trailer get to Kooskia if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Kooskia 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.
Get a quote
Send what you know and a person will reply with availability and terms. It helps to have these ready:

- How many people you serve per meal, and the type of service.
- Power available at the site (voltage, phase, amps) and water and wastewater connections.
- Where the trailer will sit, and any gate, slope, or overhead limits.
