Low elevation, about 210 feet
At roughly 210 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.

Banks, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
In the Tualatin Valley of western Washington County, Banks is where Oregon Routes 6 and 47 meet. It takes its name from John and Nancy Banks, who ran a nearby dairy farm. The city anchors the southern end of a 21-mile state trail used by cyclists, hikers, and riders, and Banks has an elementary school, a junior high, and a high school.
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 Banks site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Banks
Mild winters, lows near 34°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 34°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 87°F
Banks's July highs average about 87°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 45 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 Banks
Trail running and cycling events
The state trail starts in Banks, and its trailhead opened in 2010. An April 2025 marathon, half marathon, and relay started from Banks. A race or ride that needs a finish-line meal, aid-station food, or volunteer meals can use a kitchen trailer at the trailhead area, with the right permissions.
School kitchen out of service
Banks School District runs three schools. A failed range, hood, or dishwasher, or a summer remodel that overruns, can leave a campus without a working kitchen. A mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer can keep meal service going until the work is finished.
Walk-in loss after a major outage
The February 2021 ice storm caused what reporters called the largest power outage in Oregon history, with more than 700,000 Willamette Valley homes affected. Food businesses and care facilities whose coolers failed can use emergency refrigeration trailers to hold inventory until repairs.
- Trailhead meals for races and group rides
- School kitchen repair or remodel stand-in
- Emergency cold storage after ice-storm outages
Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Banks
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Banks is about 45 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 Banks
From the Salem warehouse, take OR 22 west to OR 99W, go north to the start of OR 47, then follow OR 47 north to Banks, where OR 6 crosses. Rain and winter ice can slow this valley route. Confirm turning room at your site.
From Banks, North Plains is about 6 miles away, Gaston about 13 miles, and Scappoose about 15 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.

Emergency deployment, any hour
The February 2021 ice storm cut power to hundreds of thousands of Willamette Valley customers for days. Food businesses, schools, and care facilities that lose cooling can use a 24/7 emergency deployment to bring in refrigeration or a temporary kitchen.

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.

Emergency refrigeration and kitchen rentals in Banks

Frequently asked questions
Who permits temporary food service in Washington County?
Washington County's Environmental Health program publishes a guide for temporary restaurant operation. Review it and contact the county before an event to confirm the license, timing, and requirements for water, handwashing, and waste.
Can a kitchen trailer be set up at the trail's Banks trailhead?
The trail is a state trail, so the site manager and the city would need to approve any use. Ask them early about parking, setup, and event permits, and ask the county health department about food licensing.
Do you take emergency calls for Banks?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Banks 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.
