Low elevation, about 10 feet
At roughly 10 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.

Clatskanie, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Clatskanie sits barely above sea level on US 30, beside the river that carries its name and a short distance from the Columbia. Rain is heavy, about 55 inches a year. Heavy industry shapes the area: PGE's gas-fired Beaver and Port Westward plants stand on the former Beaver Army Ammunition Depot site along the Columbia, outside the city.
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 Clatskanie site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Clatskanie
Mild winters, lows near 38°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 38°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
Cool summers, highs near 81°F
Summer highs near 81°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Delivery from Salem

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Clatskanie
River flooding and displaced residents
In March 2026 the Clatskanie River flooded the Rivers Edge RV Park, forcing evacuations in the early morning, and Clatskanie High School served as a shelter. Floods that displace people from low-lying sites create a short-notice need for hot meals and dishwashing where no commercial kitchen is available.
Industrial project crews at Port Westward
Port Westward Industrial Park, owned by the port and leased in part to the utility, holds two gas-fired generating complexes along the Columbia. Maintenance or construction work at industrial sites like this can bring extra crews who need meals, showers or sleeper units when nearby options are limited.
School kitchen failure
The Clatskanie School District runs a combined middle and high school plus an elementary school. A failed walk-in cooler or a dead dish machine during the school year can stop lunch service quickly. A refrigeration trailer or a temporary dishwashing unit bridges the gap while the district repairs its equipment.
- Flood shelter and evacuee meal service
- Crew kitchens for Port Westward projects
- Emergency cooler for school or restaurant
Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Clatskanie
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Clatskanie is about 80 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 Clatskanie
From Salem, head north on I-5 to the US 30 corridor, then west along the Columbia River's south bank to Clatskanie. US 30 runs through the city. Heavy rain is common, and river-side sites can flood, so confirm that the delivery pad is on high ground.
From Clatskanie, Cathlamet is about 11 miles away, Rainier about 13 miles, and Vernonia about 17 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The March 2026 flood at Rivers Edge RV Park showed how fast the Clatskanie River can leave people without shelter or meals. A 24/7 emergency deployment can support shelter operators with cooking, dishwashing and refrigeration.

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 approves a temporary kitchen for a shelter or event in Clatskanie?
Start with the Columbia County health department. It can tell you whether a shelter, a one-time event or a work camp needs a temporary food license, a plan review or nothing at all. Rules differ by situation, so ask before the trailer arrives.
Can a trailer be set up near the river after a flood?
Wet ground and standing water are the main concerns. Ask your local emergency manager which areas are safe and open. Trailers need a stable, level pad plus power and water or a plan for them, so describe the site when you call.
Do you take emergency calls for Clatskanie?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Clatskanie 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.
