Richey, Montana Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Richey sits on Montana Highway 200 at about 2,503 feet in Dawson County, where wheat, oats, barley, and cattle and sheep ranching drive the economy. The Richey Historical Museum shows pioneer-era life, and the town hosts an annual rodeo each July. Longs and Wold Reservoirs lie nearby, and Richey School District runs K-12.
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 Richey site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Richey
January lows near 12°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 12°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 86°F
Richey's July highs average about 86°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 335 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 Richey
Richey Rodeo day
The Richey Rodeo is held on the third Sunday in July at the Richey Saddle Club Grounds, and a local paper marked its 70th anniversary. Volunteer groups and caterers feeding a rodeo crowd may need cooking and dishwashing capacity that the grounds do not have.
Harvest-season crews
Wheat, oats, and barley are the main crops around Richey, and cattle and sheep operations run year-round. During harvest and other labor-heavy stretches, operations that house or feed seasonal workers can use a kitchen trailer with sleeper, shower, and restroom units to set up a field camp.
Blizzard-bound kitchens
National Weather Service blizzard warnings have covered Richey, including a long-lasting one in December 2025. When roads close and power flickers, a school or community meal site that loses a cooler or cooking line cannot easily get parts, and a refrigeration or kitchen trailer can cover the gap.
- Rodeo day catering support
- Field camps for seasonal ag crews
- Blizzard-season cooler and kitchen backup
Delivery from our Helena warehouse to Richey
We keep equipment in Helena, the Montana capital, and plan every delivery from there. Richey is about 335 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 Richey
Montana Highway 200 runs through Richey. From the Helena warehouse, trailers would travel east across central Montana to join it, but the full routing was not confirmed in available sources, so dispatch should verify it. Prairie winter storms can bring blowing snow and blizzard closures, so check Montana Department of Transportation road conditions.
The closest towns we serve are Circle (about 29 miles), Poplar (33 miles), and Wolf Point (41 miles).
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

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.
Why choose Simply Indians

Frequently asked questions
Where do I get a permit for a rodeo food setup in Richey?
Montana assigns temporary food permits to the county where an event takes place, on a state-approved form. Contact the Dawson County health authority well ahead of the rodeo to confirm what your kitchen setup needs.
How do winter storms affect getting a trailer to Richey?
Open prairie roads can drift or close during blizzards, and Richey has seen blizzard warnings from the National Weather Service. Check Montana Department of Transportation conditions, build in flexibility on timing, and keep a site contact available for access updates.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Richey 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 Richey 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.
