Onaway, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Onaway sits along Idaho Highway 6 in Latah County at 2,615 feet, in the Palouse country of farmland and forest. Idaho 6 carries the White Pine Scenic Byway, which runs north through old-growth stands in the St. Joe National Forest. Food-service demand here follows highway travelers, forestry and road crews, and seasonal visitors.
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 Onaway site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Onaway
January lows near 24°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 24°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 86°F
Onaway's July highs average about 86°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 230 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 Onaway
Byway road and utility work
The White Pine Scenic Byway follows Idaho 6 over Palouse Summit through forest and farmland. Highway maintenance, timber and utility crews working along that corridor often need meals and lodging far from a restaurant. A kitchen trailer with sleeper units gives a crew a self-contained base close to the job.
Event along White Pine Drive
A 12-mile stretch of Idaho 6 known as White Pine Drive runs through old-growth forest and draws scenic-drive traffic. Lodges and event operators hosting a gathering near the byway can bring in a mobile kitchen and a restroom trailer when the venue has no commercial kitchen of its own.
Walk-in cooler failure
A restaurant, school or care facility in northern Latah County that loses a walk-in cooler can face spoilage quickly, and repair parts and technicians may travel a long distance. An emergency refrigeration trailer can be delivered and powered up while the failed unit is repaired or replaced.

Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Onaway
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Onaway is about 230 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 Onaway
From Boise, take US 95 north, including the White Bird Hill grade and a second long grade, each averaging above 7 percent, to the junction with Idaho 6 where the White Pine Scenic Byway begins. Follow Idaho 6 to Onaway. Check Idaho 511 for winter driving conditions before dispatch.
If your project spans more than one site, Potlatch, about 1 mile from Onaway, and Palouse, about 9 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Garfield at 13 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Winter weather, power outages and equipment failures all happen in north Idaho, and a failed walk-in cooler cannot wait for a parts order. We operate 24/7 and can deploy emergency refrigeration or a mobile kitchen from our Boise warehouse.

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 Latah County?
Latah County is served by Public Health - Idaho North Central District, which oversees food establishment permitting in the region. Mobile and temporary kitchens are reviewed case by case, so contact the district early to confirm plan review, inspection and water and wastewater requirements.
Does winter weather affect delivery on Idaho 6?
The US 95 approach includes long grades, and Idaho 6 passes through forest, so winter driving conditions can change quickly. Check Idaho 511 for current road conditions and allow flexibility in the delivery schedule if a storm is forecast.
How fast can a trailer get to Onaway if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Onaway 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.
