Nehalem, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Nehalem sits about 10 feet above sea level on U.S. Route 101 beside Nehalem Bay, and visitors drive its economy. Accommodation and food services, health care, and construction are the largest industries, and the area gets roughly 95 inches of rain a year. The Port of Nehalem, established in 1909, has long kept the bay navigable.
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 Nehalem site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Nehalem
Mild winters, lows near 41°F
January lows near 41°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
Cool summers, highs near 68°F
With July highs around 68°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
Close to our Salem warehouse
Nehalem is only about 70 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 Nehalem
River flooding downtown
In December 2022 the Nehalem River crested at 17.14 feet, above its 15-foot flood stage, and flooded downtown Nehalem. Restaurants and lodging in low-lying buildings can lose their kitchens for days afterward, and a mobile kitchen can keep meals going during cleanup and repairs.
Storm power outages
Winter storms on the north coast have knocked out power for long stretches, and a December 1996 storm affected 75 percent of Tillamook PUD customers at its peak. Lost power spoils food in walk-in coolers, and emergency refrigeration trailers can protect stock for restaurants, lodging, and care providers.
Visitor-season service
Nearby state parks, campgrounds, two public docks, and the North County Recreation District's performing arts center draw visitors and event groups. Lodging operators and event organizers who need extra cooking and dishwashing capacity for busy periods can add trailers on private land.
- Post-flood kitchen replacement for restaurants and lodging
- Emergency refrigeration during winter storm outages
- Event dishwashing and cooking for busy summer groups
Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Nehalem
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Nehalem is about 70 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 Nehalem
US 101 is the main road through Nehalem. We have not verified the route from Salem across the Coast Range, so confirm it with ODOT. Heavy rain has caused river flooding that affected US 101 in Tillamook County, so check TripCheck before a trailer departs.
From Nehalem, Manzanita is about 2 miles away, Wheeler about 2 miles, and Rockaway Beach about 7 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

Emergency deployment, any hour
Low elevation makes flooding recurrent here, and the Nehalem River has flooded downtown in storms. Power outages follow high wind and rain. A 24/7 emergency deployment from Salem can supply cooking or cold storage when a kitchen is flooded or powerless.

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
Is it safe to stage a trailer in low parts of town?
Nehalem sits near sea level and the area has flooded repeatedly, including in 2022. Choose a spot above recent flood levels where possible, and ask the city and Tillamook County emergency management about flood-prone areas before you decide on a location.
Who handles permits for temporary food service here?
Rules differ for emergencies, events, and long-term use. Check with the Tillamook County health authority about what applies to your situation, and ask whether a restaurant license, a temporary event license, or an emergency exception is the right path.
Do you take emergency calls for Nehalem?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Nehalem site is, and we check availability from our Salem warehouse and quote the delivery.
