Low elevation, about 160 feet
At roughly 160 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.

Aurora, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
William Keil founded the Aurora Colony in 1856 as a religious commune on the Pudding River, and its German cooking and crafts left a lasting reputation. Today Aurora is known for antique shops, including one in an 1890 seed-cleaning mill complex, and for the Old Aurora Colony Museum. Aurora State Airport lies a mile northwest.
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 Aurora site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Aurora
Mild winters, lows near 35°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 35°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 88°F
Aurora's July highs average about 88°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.
Close to our Salem warehouse
Our Salem warehouse is about 25 miles away, so equipment does not travel far. That helps in an emergency, and we plan placement and hookups with you before the trailer rolls.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Aurora
Aurora Colony Days weekend
In 2024, Colony Days in August included a 5K, a parade, a free museum day, an outdoor antiques market on Main Street, and a concert with food and drink for sale. Organizers and vendors serving a crowd of that size can add cooking and dishwashing capacity with trailers.
Restaurant kitchen shut for repair
Antique shoppers and museum visitors keep weekend restaurants busy. A kitchen fire, hood failure, or remodel can close a dining room at its busiest time of year. A kitchen trailer parked on site lets a restaurant or caterer continue serving during repairs.
School kitchen outage or remodel
North Marion School District has four schools within walking distance of one another in town. If a kitchen is out of service because of equipment failure or construction, a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer can serve the students and staff.
- Colony Days festival food service
- Restaurant stand-in during kitchen repairs
- School meal service during construction
Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Aurora
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Aurora is about 25 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 Aurora
From the Salem warehouse, go north on I-5 and then use Oregon Route 99E, which runs through the center of Aurora. The trip is on valley roads, with rain and winter ice as the main weather factors.
If your project spans more than one site, Barlow, about 2 miles from Aurora, and Hubbard, about 4 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Donald at 4 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The National Weather Service has repeatedly issued flood warnings for the Pudding River at Aurora, and the February 2021 ice storm caused long outages across Marion County. Either can take out a kitchen or cooler, which a 24/7 emergency deployment can cover.

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 vendors at an Aurora event?
Temporary restaurant licenses in Oregon are generally issued by the county where the event is held. Contact Marion County environmental health about license types and timing, and ask the City of Aurora about any event or street-use permit.
Is the Pudding River a concern for placing a trailer?
Flood warnings have been issued for the Pudding River at Aurora. If your site is low or near the river in winter, ask about higher ground and check current forecasts. Call us 24/7 if you need a plan for a flood or storm event.
How fast can a trailer get to Aurora if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Salem warehouse, and the delivery time to Aurora depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
