Livingston, Montana Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Northern Pacific built Livingston as a railroad and ranching center on the Yellowstone River, and it was incorporated in 1882. At 4,495 feet in Park County, it now leans on tourism, with Xanterra Parks & Resorts and Livingston HealthCare among its top private employers, a depot museum and 17 National Register sites. It is also one of the windiest places in the country.
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 Livingston site.

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Livingston
July 4 rodeo week
Livingston's long-running rodeo runs around July 4 at the Park County Fairgrounds, four nights in 2025, which was its 101st year. Rodeo nights and holiday crowds put heavy demand on caterers and vendors, who may need extra cooking and dishwashing capacity.
Flood recovery
Yellowstone River flooding in June 2022 inundated parts of Livingston, damaged roads and bridges, and washed out sections of US 89 toward the park for a time. After a flood, a damaged restaurant, hotel or care kitchen can use a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer during cleanup.
Visitor season surge
Livingston has served Yellowstone visitors since its railroad days, and Xanterra Parks & Resorts is one of its top private employers. When a hotel or restaurant loses its kitchen to a fire or a long renovation in the busy months, a mobile kitchen trailer can keep guest meals going.
- July 4 rodeo week food service
- Flood-recovery kitchen for damaged facilities
- Hotel or restaurant kitchen backup in peak season
Delivery from our Helena warehouse to Livingston
We keep equipment in Helena, the Montana capital, and plan every delivery from there. Livingston is about 95 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 Livingston
From Helena, take I-15 south to I-90 and run east; Livingston sits along I-90, which approaches town from the west over a mountain pass. Livingston ranks among the windiest places in the U.S., so check MDT road reports for high-wind and winter conditions before hauling a tall trailer.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Yellowstone River flooding in June 2022 inundated parts of Livingston and the city's wind records rank near the top nationally. Floods and high wind can disable kitchens and coolers, and 24/7 emergency deployment is designed for those events.

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 food service for an event in Park County?
Montana temporary food permits are issued by the county where the event takes place, and retail licenses must be validated by the local health officer. Contact the Park County health department with your event date and menu to confirm what applies before booking a trailer.
How does Livingston's wind affect a trailer set up?
Livingston ranks near the top of U.S. airport stations for average wind speed. Ask about placement, anchoring and limits for awnings and exhaust equipment when you reserve, and follow the manufacturer's wind guidance on site.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Livingston 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 Livingston 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.
