Salmon, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Salmon, the Lemhi County seat at 3,947 feet, sits on the Salmon River where the Lemhi River joins it. The motto is Birthplace of Sacajawea, and Lewis and Clark followed the river through the area. Rafting, fishing, and hunting drive tourism, and Steele Memorial Medical Center serves Lemhi and Custer counties.
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 Salmon site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Salmon
January lows near 18°F
Salmon sees January lows near 18°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 87°F
Warm summers, with highs near 87°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Delivery from Boise
Salmon is roughly 155 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 Salmon
Hospital kitchen or cooler outage
Steele Memorial Medical Center serves two counties. A failed walk-in cooler or kitchen line at a hospital, long-term care site, or school in this valley is hard to fix quickly, and an emergency refrigeration trailer or kitchen trailer can keep patient and student meals going.
River season and hunting camps
Rafting, fishing, and hunting bring seasonal visitors and outfitters to the Salmon River corridor. Lodges, outfitters, and camp operators that need extra kitchen, dishwashing, shower, or sleeper capacity can rent trailers for the peak weeks. Planning dates and site utilities early helps match trailer size to camp size.
School construction and winter hockey events
A school bond passed in May 2024, and the Nep and Mary Ellen Lynch Center opened in May 2021. Crews on school projects need meals on site, and winter tournaments at the outdoor hockey rink draw teams and spectators who need food.

Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Salmon
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Salmon is about 155 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 Salmon
Salmon is reached on US 93, which follows the Salmon River canyon into town after crossing Willow Creek Summit at 7,161 feet. The leg from the Boise warehouse to US 93 is not confirmed in our sources, so verify the full route and check Idaho 511 for winter conditions.
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 Lemhi County?
Retail food permits are handled through the public health district serving Lemhi County, and sites on federal land may involve a land manager. Contact the health district and the city before booking so the layout, water, and wastewater plans match their requirements.
Is winter a problem for delivery on US 93?
It can be. US 93 crosses Willow Creek Summit at 7,161 feet before following the Salmon River to town, and a record low of -37°F shows how cold the valley gets. Check Idaho 511 and give us your dates early for route planning.
How fast can a trailer get to Salmon if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Salmon 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.
