Wasco, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Wasco, at 1,283 feet, was platted in 1883 and incorporated in 1898. It sits in Sherman County, where farms mainly grow wheat and barley and wind power is a prominent industry, including the Biglow Canyon Wind Farm. Wasco was first named county seat before that designation was contested, and the city has its own state airport.
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 Wasco site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Wasco
Mild winters, lows near 27°F
January lows near 27°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
July highs near 90°F
Warm summers, with highs near 90°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
Wasco is roughly 120 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 Wasco
Wind farm crews
Sherman County is home to the Biglow Canyon Wind Farm, which is described as the largest project of its kind in Oregon. Construction and maintenance crews at wind sites often work far from restaurants and need meals, restrooms, showers, and sleeper units set up nearby.
Harvest-season farm labor
Farms here mainly grow wheat and barley. During harvest, farm operators and seasonal crews need meals served in the field or at a shop yard, and a kitchen trailer with a dishwashing unit can feed a crew without relying on a permanent commercial kitchen.
Winter cold snaps
Wasco averages about 15 inches of snow a year, and its record low is -28°F. Cold snaps can freeze water lines and stress heating and refrigeration at a facility, and a self-contained trailer or cold storage container can bridge the gap until repairs are made.
- Wind project crew meals, restrooms, and showers
- Harvest crew field kitchens
- Cold-weather refrigeration and kitchen backup

Emergency deployment, any hour
The July 2018 Substation Fire burned about 36,000 acres and prompted evacuation orders in parts of Sherman and Wasco counties, with a state of emergency declared. Emergency deployment can feed responders and displaced residents and support facilities that lose cold storage.

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 permits temporary food service in Wasco?
Oregon requires a temporary restaurant license from the county where the event is held, and Wasco is in Sherman County. Contact the county health authority serving Sherman County early and confirm what it needs to see for a trailer-based kitchen.
Can trailers support crews at a farm or wind project site?
Often, but it depends on the site's power, water, and wastewater arrangements, and on any local approvals. Confirm with the property owner and the county health department what is required for food service and temporary housing at the site before you order.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Wasco in an emergency?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Salem warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Wasco when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
