Ely, Nevada Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Ely sits at 6,339 feet where US 50, US 6 and US 93 meet, a town of copper mining, federal land-agency offices and heritage tourism. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum and the 1929 Hotel Nevada draw visitors, and Great Basin National Park lies nearby. The growing season averages only 79 days, and nights stay cold even in summer.
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 Ely site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ely
January lows near 18°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 18°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 89°F
Ely's July highs average about 89°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 Carson City
Ely is about 260 miles in a straight line from our Carson City warehouse, so this is a planned delivery, not a same-day one. Road distance runs longer than that, and we confirm the route, permits, and timing at quote. In an emergency, call first and we start immediately.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Ely
County fair and horse race week
Every August the White Pine County Fair and Horse Races runs three days with live racing, barbecue, vendors, 4-H exhibits and livestock auctions. A fair board or vendor group feeding large crowds could add a kitchen trailer and dish line at the fairgrounds to extend capacity beyond temporary booths.
Mine shutdowns and crew camps
A large copper mine near Ely employs about 510 people, and mining has driven the local economy since copper was found in 1906. When contractors arrive for maintenance or expansion work, kitchen, shower, restroom and sleeper trailers can house and feed a crew near the site.
Peak visitor weekends at heritage venues
The Nevada Northern Railway runs its Ghost Train and holds events such as a September cycling race, while the Hotel Nevada draws guests year-round. A hotel or caterer facing a banquet surge or a kitchen repair could bring in a temporary kitchen to keep service going.
- Fairgrounds meals for August horse race week
- Mine contractor crew kitchens and sleeper units
- Cold-snap refrigeration backup for local facilities
Delivery from our Carson City warehouse to Ely
We keep equipment in Carson City, the Nevada capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ely is about 260 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 Ely
From Carson City, US 50 runs east across central Nevada to Ely, over many summits above 6,000 feet, with Robinson Summit at 7,607 feet just west of town. Services are sparse along this stretch and winter snow can slow travel, so check NDOT road conditions before departure.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Ely is among the coldest places in the lower 48 at night, with a record low of minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit and about 54 inches of snow a year. A deep freeze that disables a kitchen or cooler is a reason for 24/7 emergency deployment.

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
Does the 6,300-foot elevation change how a kitchen trailer performs?
Water boils at a lower temperature at that elevation, which changes boiling and baking times, so cooks usually adjust recipes. Cold nights also matter for fuel, water lines and refrigeration. Plan heat, protected plumbing and a reliable power source, and ask for guidance on winter operation.
We run a fair booth operation; who approves a temporary kitchen in White Pine County?
Temporary food permits for this part of Nevada have generally been issued by the state rather than a county health district, and a state notice describes a move to the Nevada Department of Agriculture. Confirm the current agency, lead time and any plan review requirements well before fair week.
Do you take emergency calls for Ely?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Carson City warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Ely when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
