Kevin, Montana Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Oil came to Kevin in 1922 when a major field was discovered nearby, twelve years after the town was founded on the Great Northern Railway. At 3,330 feet in Toole County, near I-15 and about 25 miles south of the Canadian border, it keeps a depot built in 1903 and the memory of a refinery that closed in 1977.
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 Kevin site.

Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 13°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
Cool summers, highs near 83°F

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Kevin
Oilfield service crews
Well records still show active wells in the Kevin oil field, so service and workover crews pass through the area. When a crew works far from a restaurant, a mobile kitchen trailer can feed the team on the lease or at a staging yard without a long drive each day.
Crew camp units
Jobs near Kevin, whether well work, construction or maintenance, can leave a crew without nearby lodging. Sleeper, shower, restroom and laundry units, with a kitchen trailer, can form a temporary camp so the crew stays close to the work and rests between shifts.
School kitchen backup
The school district serving Kevin had 123 students in 2024-2025, with an elementary school, a junior high and North Toole County High School. If cafeteria equipment fails or a remodel closes the kitchen, a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer can cover meal service during the repair.

Delivery from our Helena warehouse to Kevin
We keep equipment in Helena, the Montana capital, and plan every delivery from there. Kevin is about 150 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 Kevin
From Helena, I-15 runs north straight to Exit 379, which serves Kevin. The interstate crosses open northern plains, so check MDT road reports for wind and winter storms before departure. Dispatch should confirm turning room and ground conditions at the final site on the local streets.
The closest towns we serve are Sunburst (about 9 miles), Shelby (18 miles), and Cut Bank (18 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Exit 379 serves Kevin, with the Canadian border about 25 miles north, so resupply for a failed kitchen or cooler is a long haul. A 24/7 emergency deployment gives a school, crew or business a stopgap while repairs are arranged.

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
Do we need a permit to feed an oilfield crew with a mobile kitchen?
It depends on how food is prepared and served. In Montana, retail food licenses are validated by the local health officer and temporary permits come from the county. Call the Toole County health officials before the crew arrives to confirm what applies.
Can sleeper and shower units run without a town hookup?
Many remote sites lack hookups. Ask for each unit's power, water and waste requirements when you reserve, and arrange generator, tank or hauling service ahead of time. Local requirements for wastewater can differ, so confirm them with the county.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Kevin 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 Kevin 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.
