Low elevation, about 20 feet
At roughly 20 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.

Wheeler, Oregon Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Wheeler sits at 52 feet on the Nehalem River estuary in Tillamook County. Coleman Wheeler's sawmill and the Nehalem Transportation Company date to 1900, and the city incorporated in 1914. Marine Drive faces Nehalem Bay with a historic hotel and bay-view dining. Students attend Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56, and the area is part of the north coast's TsunamiReady communities.
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 Wheeler site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Wheeler
Mild winters, lows near 41°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 41°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
Cool summers, highs near 71°F
Summer highs near 71°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Close to our Salem warehouse
Our Salem warehouse is about 65 miles away, so equipment does not travel far. That helps in an emergency, and we plan placement and hookups with you before the trailer rolls.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Wheeler
Tsunami and earthquake preparedness
Wheeler and its two neighbors on Nehalem Bay hold TsunamiReady and StormReady designations, and local volunteers run Tsunami 101 sessions with state emergency management. A facility whose kitchen is damaged or cut off after a major event would need meals prepared outside the building.
Coastal storm outages
Winter storms on the Oregon coast bring wind, debris and power outages, according to regional coast news coverage. A restaurant or lodge on the bay that loses power can lose a walk-in cooler's contents within a day or two, and refrigeration trailers can hold stock while the grid is restored.
School kitchen downtime
Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56 serves the area's students. If a school or senior meal kitchen has to close for repairs or a failed system, a kitchen trailer parked on the property can keep meals going until the permanent kitchen is back.
- Post-earthquake or tsunami recovery feeding
- Storm-outage refrigeration for waterfront restaurants
- Temporary school kitchen during repairs
Delivery from our Salem warehouse to Wheeler
We keep equipment in Salem, the Oregon capital, and plan every delivery from there. Wheeler is about 65 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 Wheeler
Wheeler is on US 101 beside Nehalem Bay. Trailers reach the north coast over Coast Range highways; OR 53 meets US 101 at Nehalem Junction but is narrow and winding. Confirm the leg from Salem and the trailer length limits with ODOT TripCheck before dispatch, since this route was not verified in detail.
If your project spans more than one site, Nehalem, about 2 miles from Wheeler, and Manzanita, about 3 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Rockaway Beach at 5 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The Nehalem Bay area is TsunamiReady, and local volunteers train residents for earthquake and tsunami hazards. After a major event, road access would determine what can be moved in, and our 24/7 emergency deployment can bring cooking and refrigeration trailers once access reopens.

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
Does tsunami risk affect where a trailer can be parked?
Wheeler sits only 52 feet above sea level on the estuary. Ask Tillamook County emergency management and check the state's published tsunami evacuation maps for your site, and do not assume any lot is outside a hazard zone when planning a longer stay.
Who approves temporary food service in Tillamook County?
Start with the county health department, which can tell you whether your setup falls under its license or the state Department of Agriculture. Ask early about site requirements for water, wastewater and power, because shoreline sites may have extra limits.
How fast can a trailer get to Wheeler 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 Wheeler 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.
