Low elevation, about 690 feet
At roughly 690 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

Arlington, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Arlington sits at the foot of Alkali Canyon on the Columbia River, where Interstate 84 meets Oregon Route 19. It began as Alkali, a cattle-shipping point, and its original townsite was cleared in the 1960s for the lake behind John Day Dam. The Port of Arlington runs a marina and a windsurfing and kiteboarding launch, and wind farms surround the area.
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 Arlington site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Arlington
Mild winters, lows near 29°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 29°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 95°F
At 95°F a cooking line and a refrigeration unit compete for the same power and the same cool air. Refrigerated trailers work hardest in these months, and a failed walk-in can lose a day of stock fast, which is why we treat cooler failures as emergencies.
Delivery from Salem
About 150 miles in a straight line from our Salem warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Arlington
Wind-energy crews on long jobs
Shepherds Flat and other wind farms operate nearby, and construction or maintenance work brings crews that stay for weeks. A contractor can pair a kitchen trailer with showers, restrooms, and sleeper units to feed and house workers close to the site.
Windsurf and kiteboarding gatherings at the port
The Port of Arlington has a marina and a launch for windsurfing and kiteboarding. An organized regatta, camp, or club weekend on the waterfront needs food service that a nearby restaurant cannot easily absorb. A mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer can cover it.
Farm and cattle operations
Surrounding farmland produces wheat, barley, and beef cattle. Harvest season can bring extra crews to the area. An operator may need a kitchen trailer or refrigeration to feed workers and store food at a staging yard, well away from any restaurant.

Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Arlington
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Arlington 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 Arlington
From the Salem warehouse, the route is I-5 north, then I-84 east through the Columbia River Gorge to Arlington, where OR 19 meets the interstate. Strong wind, snow, ice, and brush fires have closed I-84 near Arlington, so check TripCheck before dispatch.
From Arlington, Ione is about 23 miles away, Boardman about 25 miles, and Wasco about 26 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.

Emergency deployment, any hour
Brush fires near Arlington have closed I-84 and triggered evacuation alerts, including a fire near milepost 131 in July 2025 and another in June 2026. A 24/7 emergency deployment can support responders, evacuees, and stranded travelers.

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 handles food permits for events in Gilliam County?
Oregon licenses food service through the Oregon Health Authority and local health authorities. For a temporary event or a mobile kitchen in Gilliam County, confirm the license and plan review with the county or regional public health office before booking.
How should wind affect where a trailer is placed near the river?
Arlington is known for steady wind, which is why it has both wind farms and a windsurfing launch. Tell us your site, so we can discuss placement, awnings, and tie-down. Choose level, firm ground with room for the trailer to turn.
Do you take emergency calls for Arlington?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Arlington site is, and we check availability from our Salem warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
