Gervais, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Gervais lies on French Prairie in northern Marion County, about 14 miles north of Salem and 187 feet above sea level, with OR 99E on its southeastern edge. It is named for Joseph Gervais, one of the area's first settlers. Farmland, the Gervais School District, and a mix of long-established and newer communities define local food-service needs.
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 Gervais site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Gervais
Mild winters, lows near 35°F
January lows near 35°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
July highs near 89°F
Warm summers, with highs near 89°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Close to our Salem warehouse
Gervais is only about 15 miles in a straight line from our Salem warehouse, one of the shorter deliveries we make. We still confirm the route, access, and your delivery window at quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Gervais
School kitchen outage
The Gervais School District runs an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school. A kitchen losing major equipment, or a walk-in cooler failing during the school year, still needs to keep meals going for students. A kitchen or refrigeration trailer can help cover the gap while repairs are made.
Boil water notice
Strong thunderstorms have damaged the city's water system and led to a boil water notice. When a water outage or advisory disrupts restaurant, school, or care-home kitchens, a self-contained kitchen and dishwashing trailer can keep meal service going. Confirm water rules with the county health department first.
Harvest crews on French Prairie farmland
French Prairie is farmland, and agricultural employers bring in seasonal crews at harvest. An employer or grower group needing meals, restrooms, and showers for a temporary workforce could use kitchen and shower trailers staged near the fields, with refrigeration for bulk food.

- Meal service during a water outage
- Seasonal harvest crew meals and showers
Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Gervais
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Gervais is about 15 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 Gervais
Gervais is about 14 miles north of Salem on the OR 99E corridor, so delivery from the warehouse is a short run on state highway with no mountain passes. City streets near the old business district are the main consideration, so confirm site access and trailer length before dispatch.
If your project spans more than one site, Mount Angel, about 5 miles from Gervais, and Hubbard, about 7 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can St. Paul at 8 miles.

Emergency deployment, any hour
Thunderstorms have damaged the Gervais water system and led to a boil water notice. When a kitchen cannot operate because of a water, equipment, or cooling failure, our 24/7 emergency deployment from the Salem warehouse can bring a self-contained option.

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 regulates food service in Gervais?
Gervais is in Marion County. Food-service licensing for temporary and mobile kitchens can involve the county or the Oregon Health Authority. Check with the county health department before deploying a trailer to confirm licensing, inspection, and water supply rules.
Can a trailer work during a boil water notice?
Water-safety rules during a notice are set by the local water provider and health authorities, and a trailer's water source and sanitation setup would need approval. Contact the county health department and the city before deploying a kitchen during an advisory.
How fast can a trailer get to Gervais 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 Gervais 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.
