Big Water, Utah Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Big Water began as Glen Canyon City, a camp for the workers who built Glen Canyon Dam in the 1950s. At about 4,108 feet on US 89, it sits near Lake Powell and the south side of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, where a BLM visitor center has focused on paleontology and geology. Visitors, boaters, and crews working the monument and lake supply most of the demand.
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 Big Water site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Big Water
Mild winters, lows near 28°F
January lows near 28°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
July highs near 100°F
At 100°F a cooking line and a refrigeration unit compete for the same power and the same cool air. Refrigerated trailers work hardest in these months, and a failed walk-in can lose a day of stock fast, which is why we treat cooler failures as emergencies.
A long haul from Salt Lake City
From our Salt Lake City warehouse to Big Water is about 255 miles as the crow flies. Longer hauls mean more planning, so we recommend an early call, and a 24/7 emergency call is always answered.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Big Water
Flash flood on Wahweap Creek and US 89
National Weather Service warnings in 2015, 2024, and September 2026 named Big Water and Wahweap Creek. When flooding closes sections of US 89, local kitchens and cold storage can be cut off from resupply, and a self-contained unit can help bridge the gap.
Lake Powell and monument visitor season
The town lies near Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam, and the south side of Grand Staircase-Escalante. Restaurants and lodges serving boaters and monument visitors can use a temporary kitchen, dishwashing trailer, or emergency cooler when equipment fails. The BLM visitor center and its paleontology exhibits also add day visitors who stop for meals.
Few backups when the highway closes
US 89 is the main road, and closures, such as a crash at mile marker 6 in October 2025 and flood closures, can delay parts and product. A cooler or dish machine failure here has little local backup, so a rented trailer is the practical stopgap.
- Flood-closure backup kitchen and cold storage
- Replacement kitchen for lake and monument visitors
- Emergency cooler when parts cannot arrive
Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Big Water
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Big Water is about 255 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 Big Water
Big Water is on US 89 in southern Kane County. Trailers from Salt Lake City reach it from the north on US 89, but the full haul was not confirmed in sources. Flash floods on Wahweap Creek have closed sections of the highway, so check UDOT and NWS alerts before dispatch.
From Big Water, Page is about 12 miles away, Henrieville about 39 miles, and Cannonville about 41 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
Flash floods in the Wahweap Creek drainage have prompted warnings and affected US 89 in a semi-arid setting, with about 7.7 inches of average annual precipitation. A 24/7 deployment can help when flooding or an outage hits a kitchen or cooler.

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 Big Water?
Southwest Utah Public Health Department materials say any food service operation must hold a permit, and temporary permits must be displayed. Contact its environmental health division to confirm how Kane County handles a trailer kitchen.
Does flash flooding affect where a trailer can be parked?
Washes and creeks like Wahweap Creek can run quickly after storms upstream. Stage trailers on higher ground away from drainages, and check NWS flood warnings and UDOT road status before delivery.

Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Big Water site is, and we check availability from our Salt Lake City warehouse and quote the delivery.
