Low elevation, about 3,030 feet

Broadus, Montana Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Broadus is the seat of Powder River County and its only incorporated town, at about 3,032 feet where US 212 and Montana 59 run together. Oil from the Belle Creek field, opened in the late 1960s, still matters here, alongside county government. Food-service demand also reflects schools, the August county fair, and wildfire season.
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 Broadus site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Broadus
January lows near 17°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 17°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 90°F
Broadus's July highs average about 90°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.
A long haul from Helena
Expect a long delivery: roughly 330 miles straight-line from Helena. Tell us the date you need the kitchen running and we plan the haul, the escort needs, and the setup crew around it.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Broadus
Wildfire crew camps
The 2024 Short Draw Fire burned more than 35,000 acres across northern Wyoming and southern Powder River County, and the 2021 Box Elder Fire burned about 1,700 acres in the county's northwest. Firefighters and evacuees need meals, showers, and rest areas, which kitchen, shower, and sleeper trailers can support.
County fair week
Each August the Powder River County Fair brings exhibitors and families to Broadus, and in 2025 the 4-H program reported about 120 youth enrollments. Fair organizers can use a kitchen and dishwashing trailer to handle a week of meals and cleanup without overtaxing a single hall kitchen.
Oil and gas contractors
Oil has been a mainstay of the local economy since the Belle Creek field opened in the late 1960s. Crews servicing wells and seasonal contractors may need meals and lodging near work sites, and kitchen, restroom, and sleeper units can fill the gap when town services are stretched.

Delivery from our Helena warehouse to Broadus
We keep equipment in Helena, the Montana capital, and plan every delivery from there. Broadus is about 330 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 Broadus
From Helena, take I-90 east and I-94 east to exit 138, then follow Montana 59 south. Montana 59 shares the road with US 212 through and near Broadus. Winter snow and wildfire activity can affect travel across the open country, so check Montana DOT road reports and county notices.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Powder River County has seen large fires, including 2024's Short Draw Fire across the Wyoming line and 2021's Box Elder Fire. During fire season, a 24/7 emergency deployment could supply kitchens, showers, and sleeper units for crews and evacuees.

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 fire-camp or event kitchen in Powder River County?
Emergency incident camps may be arranged through incident command or county emergency services rather than ordinary event permits. For non-emergency use, confirm with the Powder River County health department or sanitarian what licensing and inspection a mobile kitchen needs.
Can a trailer reach Broadus year-round?
Broadus sits at about 3,000 feet on routes that cross open country, so winter weather and fire activity can affect travel. Check Montana DOT road reports and county notices, and tell us your site, water, and power setup so we can plan delivery from Helena.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Broadus in an emergency?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Helena warehouse, and the delivery time to Broadus depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
