About 8,060 feet up
At roughly 8,060 feet, thin air changes how gas ranges and fryers burn and how long water takes to heat. Tell us the menu and we match the trailer's cooking line and ventilation to the elevation.

Independence, Utah Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Daniels Canyon, on the road between the Wasatch Back and Strawberry Reservoir, is home to Independence, a Wasatch County community east of US 40. The setting is mountain slopes and farmland. Daniels Pass, the canyon's summit, reaches 8,020 feet on US 40, and Strawberry Reservoir draws anglers throughout the year.
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 Independence site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Independence
January lows near 13°F
Independence sees January lows near 13°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
Cool summers, highs near 78°F
With July highs around 78°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
Close to our Salt Lake City warehouse
Independence is only about 40 miles in a straight line from our Salt Lake City warehouse, one of the shorter deliveries we make. We still confirm the route, access, and your delivery window at quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Independence
Fishing season crowds at Strawberry
Strawberry Reservoir is described as Utah's most popular fishery, with over 1.5 million angling hours a year, and US 40 through Daniels Canyon is the way in. Outfitters and event hosts feeding crowds nearby can use a kitchen trailer where no commercial kitchen exists.
Winter storm on a high pass
US 40 climbs to 8,020 feet at Daniels Pass, so winter storms can affect traffic and supply runs in this canyon. A lodge, camp, or restaurant that loses power or a cooler during a storm can use a temporary refrigeration or kitchen trailer.
Forest recreation and camp groups
The canyon and surrounding national forest land support campgrounds and group recreation. Youth camps, church groups, and outdoor event operators can use a kitchen trailer, together with shower and restroom units, to feed groups where permanent buildings are limited or unavailable.

Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Independence
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Independence is about 40 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 Independence
From Salt Lake City, trailers would typically take I-80 east and then US 40 south through Daniels Canyon, which crests at Daniels Pass at 8,020 feet. Winter conditions on the pass can be demanding, so check UDOT road reports before shipping.
If your project spans more than one site, Wallsburg, about 7 miles from Independence, and Daniel, about 7 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Charleston at 9 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

Emergency deployment, any hour
A high mountain pass road means winter storms can slow supply runs and leave facilities short on cold storage or cooking capacity. Emergency deployment from our Salt Lake City warehouse can bring a trailer, 24/7.

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.
Why choose Simply Indians

Frequently asked questions
Which agency permits a food trailer in Independence?
Independence is in Wasatch County, so contact the county health department that covers Wasatch County. Permit requirements for temporary kitchens vary with the operation, so confirm what is needed before setting up.
Is winter a problem for delivery or setup at this elevation?
It can be. US 40 over Daniels Pass reaches 8,020 feet, and conditions change fast. Check UDOT before delivery and tell us your needs for freeze protection of water and fuel lines.
How fast can a trailer get to Independence if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Salt Lake City warehouse, and the delivery time to Independence 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.
