Stites, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Stites lies in the valley of the South Fork Clearwater River at 1,316 feet, where SH 13 follows the water. It became the eastern end of a Northern Pacific branch line in 1900 and incorporated in 1905. Idaho County around it is the largest in the state, with extensive national forest land.
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 Stites site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Stites
January lows near 22°F
Stites sees January lows near 22°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 91°F
Warm summers, with highs near 91°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
Stites is roughly 170 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 Stites
Wildfire and forest-project camps
Idaho County holds about 4.43 million acres of national forest, and the Nez Perce National Forest lies entirely inside it. Fire crews and forest contractors working in this country need meals, showers and sleeping quarters that a mobile kitchen and sleeper units can supply.
River-corridor road work
SH 13 follows the South Fork Clearwater and passes through town, and construction or repair work on the corridor can require crews to stay near the job. A kitchen trailer, showers and restrooms can serve a work camp without local lodging.
Tribal and community gatherings
The Nez Perce Reservation reaches the northwest corner of the county, and Nez Perce National Historical Park is in Idaho County. Gatherings, reunions or events with larger crowds than local kitchens can handle may use a temporary kitchen or dishwashing trailer.
- Crew kitchens for wildfire and forestry work
- Showers and sleepers at highway project camps
- Temporary kitchen for large community gatherings
Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Stites
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Stites is about 170 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 Stites
From Boise, the route follows US 95 north north across the Salmon River, climbs White Bird Hill, then takes SH 13 east and down roughly 1,300 feet toward the South Fork Clearwater before reaching Stites. Long trailers should confirm grades and curves with the team.
If your project spans more than one site, Kooskia, about 3 miles from Stites, and Kamiah, about 10 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Grangeville at 13 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Idaho County is mostly national forest and canyon country, and the area has a wildfire season. Fire, smoke or a closed highway can cut off a kitchen or cooler, and 24/7 emergency deployment is set up for those emergencies.

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 in Idaho County?
Idaho's regional public health districts handle food establishment and temporary food permits. Contact the district that covers Idaho County before the trailer arrives, and ask what plan review and inspection your kitchen will need.
Can a long trailer make the drive on SH 13?
SH 13 descends about 1,300 feet toward the river and has grades and curves, so trailer length and tow vehicle matter. Tell our team the size you need and your final destination, and ask them to review the approach with you.
How fast can a trailer get to Stites if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Stites 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.
