St. Maries, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Built where the St. Joe River meets the St. Maries River, St. Maries has been the Benewah County seat since 1915, after a sawmill opened on the townsite in 1889. Logging still shows in the lumberjack mascot at St. Maries High School, and the city sits partly inside a tribal reservation.
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 St. Maries site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in St. Maries
January lows near 23°F
St. Maries sees January lows near 23°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 88°F
Warm summers, with highs near 88°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
A long haul from Boise
From our Boise warehouse to St. Maries is about 255 miles as the crow flies. Longer hauls mean more planning, so we recommend an early call, and a 24/7 emergency call is always answered.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in St. Maries
Timber and forest work crews
The city grew around sawmills, and part of the St. Joe National Forest lies in Benewah County. Logging, road and forest-project crews working away from town may need showers, restrooms, sleeper units or a kitchen trailer at a landing or camp.
School kitchen downtime
St. Maries Joint School District #41 runs the high school, middle school and Heyburn Elementary. A failed dish machine, range or walk-in cooler during the school year can interrupt meal service, and a mobile kitchen can fill in during repairs.
Park and river recreation traffic
Heyburn State Park and McCroskey State Park are in the county, and rivers define the area. Summer weekends can strain restaurants and lodging, and event hosts may use a kitchen or dishwashing trailer for reunions, tournaments or outdoor gatherings. Confirm park rules before bringing any trailer onto public land.
- Showers and meals for forest-work crews
- Meal service during school kitchen repairs
- Event kitchen for park and river gatherings
Delivery from our Boise warehouse to St. Maries
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. St. Maries is about 255 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 St. Maries
From Boise the haul runs north on US 95, Idaho's only road linking the Panhandle with the rest of the state, then turns onto state highways in Benewah County, which include SH 3 and SH 5. Confirm the last leg and any winter conditions on Idaho 511.
If your project spans more than one site, Plummer, about 15 miles from St. Maries, and Harrison, about 15 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Worley at 17 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
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
Which agency issues food permits in Benewah County?
Panhandle Health District serves Benewah County, and its environmental health staff issue permits, inspect establishments and review plans for new setups. Contact them before your trailer arrives to confirm what a temporary or emergency kitchen needs.
Can a trailer get to a work site off the main roads?
Maybe. Forest and park roads vary in width, grade and surface, and winter snow adds limits. Describe the site, the access road and the turning space to our team in advance so we can judge which trailer length is workable.
How fast can a trailer get to St. Maries if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your St. Maries 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.
