Low elevation, about 3,200 feet
Sisters is near sea level in terms of cooking, so appliances run as rated. The planning questions are power, water, and drainage, which we work through with you.

Sisters, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Sisters, at 3,189 feet in Deschutes County, takes its name from the nearby Three Sisters peaks. US 20 and OR 126 join as Cascade Avenue through town, while OR 242 over McKenzie Pass opens only in summer. The calendar centers on the Sisters Rodeo, held since 1941, the July Outdoor Quilt Show and the September Folk Festival.
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 Sisters site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Sisters
January lows near 23°F
Sisters sees January lows near 23°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
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.
Delivery from Salem
Sisters is roughly 85 miles from Salem, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Sisters
Quilt show day
The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show marked its 50th year in July 2025, and organizers describe it as drawing more than 10,000 visitors annually. A one-day crowd that size in a few blocks of downtown can overwhelm restaurants, so caterers and vendors might add a kitchen trailer with a dishwashing line.
Rodeo week and folk festival
The 2025 rodeo ran five days and sold out, and the Folk Festival that September used seven venues with more than 30 acts. Event organizers feeding staff, volunteers and artists across several sites can use extra kitchen capacity and cold storage.
Wildfire evacuations
The 2025 Flat Fire burned about two miles northeast of Sisters, with roughly 1,000 homes under Level 3 orders, and the Akawa Butte Fire brought evacuations in July 2026. Evacuees and fire crews need meals, and a kitchen trailer can feed them at a shelter or staging site.

Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Sisters
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Sisters is about 85 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 Sisters
From Salem, take OR 22 east to US 20 over Santiam Pass, which tops out at 4,817 feet and has very snowy winters, and continue into Sisters. OR 242 over McKenzie Pass is open only in summer, so do not plan on it. Check TripCheck for winter closures and traction rules.
If your project spans more than one site, Culver, about 23 miles from Sisters, and Metolius, about 28 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Madras at 32 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Wildfire is a recurring threat: the 2017 Milli Fire and the August 2025 Flat Fire both brought Level 3 evacuations, and the Akawa Butte Fire prompted evacuations in July 2026. A 24/7 emergency deployment could add kitchens for evacuees and crews.

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
How do we license a kitchen trailer for a big event week?
Temporary food service rules depend on the menu, the number of days and who is serving. Contact the county environmental health program early for licensing and inspection steps, and ask the city and event organizer about placement and parking.
Do mountain passes make winter delivery difficult?
Santiam Pass has cold, extremely snowy winters, and McKenzie Pass is closed outside summer. Winter timing can depend on pass conditions and traction rules, so check ODOT TripCheck and talk with us about flexible scheduling.
How fast can a trailer get to Sisters 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 Sisters 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.
