Moab, Utah Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Moab sits at about 4,025 feet on the Colorado Plateau, just south of the Colorado River, with the entrance to Arches National Park four miles north on US-191. Tourism drives nearly everything here: mountain biking, jeep trails and the national parks, plus a festival calendar that runs from the Skinny Tire Festival in March to the Moab Folk Festival in November.
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 Moab site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Moab
Mild winters, lows near 26°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 26°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 100°F
Typical July highs reach about 100°F. Kitchen trailers need shade or ventilation help, and refrigeration units run longer cycles, so we size the power supply for the heat and not just the nameplate.
Delivery from Salt Lake City
About 195 miles in a straight line from our Salt Lake City warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Moab
Easter Jeep Safari week
Each spring around Easter, the Red Rock 4-Wheelers run nine days of guided trail rides, vendor expos and a car show. The 2026 edition was expected to bring about 12,000 people, with other estimates higher, and lodging fills months ahead, so event crews and caterers often need extra kitchen capacity.
Flash flood and outage recovery
Flash floods have repeatedly hit the Moab area, including a July 2021 storm that cut power to roughly 4,000 customers and an August 2022 event that brought a state emergency declaration. A flooded dish room or a cooler without power calls for temporary dishwashing and refrigeration.
Festival and race weekends
The Moab Music Festival in September, the Moab Folk Festival in November and the March Skinny Tire Festival all bring organizers who must feed performers, volunteers and crews. A temporary kitchen and dishwashing trailer can serve events held at venues with no commercial kitchen.
- Easter Jeep Safari event catering and crew meals
- Flood or outage backup refrigeration
- Festival and race-weekend cooking and dishwashing
Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Moab
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Moab is about 195 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 Moab
From Salt Lake City, trailers can take I-15 south to US-6, cross Soldier Summit, then follow US-191 south to I-70 at Crescent Junction. From there US-191 runs 31 miles south into Moab. Soldier Summit sees winter weather, so check UDOT conditions before departure.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Flash flooding in the Moab area prompted a state emergency declaration in August 2022 and cut power to thousands of customers in July 2021. A flooded kitchen or an unpowered cooler is what 24/7 emergency deployment is for.

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 Grand County?
Grand County is covered by the Southeast Utah Health Department, along with Carbon and Emery counties. Contact its environmental health staff to confirm what a temporary kitchen or event vendor setup needs and how far ahead to apply.
How should I plan around Easter Jeep Safari week?
The event brings heavy traffic and full lodging, and the BLM announces trail restrictions each year. Confirm event details with organizers, book early so crews have beds and meals, and tell us your dates as soon as you know them.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Moab 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 Salt Lake City warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Moab when we quote.
