Mackay, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Named for John William Mackay, who owned the local copper mines, Mackay sits at about 5,906 feet on US 93 below the White Knob Mountains. Idaho's highest summit, Borah Peak at 12,662 feet, rises roughly 20 miles to the north. The Custer County Fair, held at the Mackay fairgrounds, anchors the summer calendar.
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 Mackay site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Mackay
January lows near 15°F
Mackay sees January lows near 15°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
Cool summers, highs near 84°F
With July highs around 84°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
Delivery from Boise
Mackay is roughly 130 miles from Boise, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Mackay
Custer County Fair week
The Custer County Fair runs about a week at the Mackay fairgrounds around the turn of July into August, and the town also has a rodeo at its grounds. Concession operators and fair organizers can add a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer to feed visitors during the busiest week.
Earthquake damage and recovery
The October 1983 Borah Peak earthquake, magnitude 6.9, hit Mackay hardest and left eight Main Street buildings condemned. After a damaging quake, or any event that closes a building, restaurants, care facilities and schools can bridge the gap with a mobile kitchen and refrigeration.
Barbecues and holiday events
Mackay holds an annual fall barbecue marking the purchase of the reservoir locals call The Res, and an old-fashioned Fourth of July with games and food. Community groups that want to serve a larger crowd than a home kitchen allows can use a mobile kitchen trailer.
- County fair concession and crowd meals
- Earthquake or building-damage kitchen replacement
- Community barbecue and holiday event catering
Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Mackay
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Mackay is about 130 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 Mackay
US 93 runs through Mackay and is the main road for a trailer from our Boise warehouse. Expect long stretches of high-desert highway with winter snow, wind and ice. Check Idaho 511 and confirm the route when you call.
If your project spans more than one site, Moore, about 17 miles from Mackay, and Arco, about 25 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Sun Valley at 39 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

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 permits a temporary kitchen in Custer County?
Custer County is generally served by Eastern Idaho Public Health, but confirm this with the county health department. Ask what a temporary or mobile food operation needs and how far ahead to apply, especially for a fair week or other large event.
How does the high-desert climate affect a trailer setup?
Mackay gets about 8 inches of precipitation a year but swings from near minus 40 in winter to around 100 in summer. Ask about freeze protection, air conditioning and refrigeration capacity when you book, and plan for wind on an open site.
How fast can a trailer get to Mackay if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Mackay 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.
