Elk Ridge, Utah Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
The land under Elk Ridge was once the Goosenest Ranch near Mount Loafer. A dirt road went in during 1970, the first home was finished in 1973, and the name, adopted in 1978, comes from the area's elk herds. At about 5,360 feet in the southern end of Utah County, temporary food service here is tied mostly to emergencies and community gatherings.
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 Elk Ridge site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Elk Ridge
January lows near 19°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 19°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 92°F
Elk Ridge's July highs average about 92°F. That is a normal load for our equipment, but it is enough to expose an aging walk-in cooler, which is a common reason people call us.
Close to our Salt Lake City warehouse
Our Salt Lake City warehouse is about 55 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 Elk Ridge
Evacuation and return feeding
In September 2018, wildfire forced evacuation orders for Elk Ridge for more than a week, and residents could not reach their homes until the order lifted on September 22. Shelters and relief groups need hot meals and refrigeration during evacuations and the return, and a mobile kitchen can supply that.
Fire crew base camp
The Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires together burned more than 116,000 acres in southeast Utah County. Large suppression efforts need a place for crews to eat, shower and sleep near the line, and trailer kitchens, showers and sleeper units are built for that kind of camp.
Cold storage when roads close
During the 2018 fires, US 89 and US 6 were closed for several days before reopening on September 20. When access roads close and power is shaky, a care facility, shelter or event site may need emergency refrigeration to protect food already on hand.

- Wildfire crew kitchen, shower and sleeper camp
- Emergency cold storage during road closures
Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Elk Ridge
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Elk Ridge is about 55 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 Elk Ridge
From Salt Lake City, I-15 south through Utah County is the main corridor. The last miles climb into foothills on local roads, so confirm the approach, grades and turning space for a long trailer with the city. US 6 and US 89 closed for days in 2018 fires, so check UDOT before departure.
From Elk Ridge, Woodland Hills is about 1 mile away, Genola about 9 miles, and Rocky Ridge about 10 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
The lightning-caused Pole Creek fire, begun September 6, 2018, grew to 98,642 acres, the largest in Utah that year. Evacuation orders covered Elk Ridge, and wildfire can return in dry years. Our 24/7 emergency deployment can supply cooking and cold storage 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.

Emergency refrigeration and kitchen rentals in Elk Ridge

Frequently asked questions
Who permits a temporary kitchen in Elk Ridge?
Food permits in Utah County are handled by the Utah County Health Department. Contact them about a temporary or mobile food operation, and ask Elk Ridge city about where a trailer may be placed and whether any city approval or utility hookup is needed.
Can a 24 to 40 foot trailer be placed on a hillside lot?
It depends on the site. Trailers need a fairly level pad, a clear approach and turning room, and city streets here are residential and sloped. Send us the address and photos of the access road, and confirm placement with city staff before delivery.
Do you take emergency calls for Elk Ridge?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Elk Ridge site is, and we check availability from our Salt Lake City warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
