Ephrata is the Grant County seat, at about 1,276 feet, where SR 28 and SR 282 meet and the Grant County Public Utility District is headquartered. It grew from horse trading and ranch services, then expanded with Columbia Basin irrigation in the 1940s and 1950s. Columbia Basin Hospital runs a 24-hour emergency room.
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 Ephrata site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ephrata
Delivery from Olympia

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Ephrata
Hospital and long-term care kitchens
Columbia Basin Hospital offers a 24-hour emergency room and long-term care. Facilities that serve patients and residents around the clock cannot pause meals. If a kitchen or walk-in cooler fails, a temporary kitchen or refrigeration trailer can keep service going while repairs are made.
Crop-season crews
Grant County is a major agricultural producer, and Ephrata has long served as a service center for the surrounding farms and ranches. Farm operations that bring in extra crews can add kitchen, shower, and sleeper trailers when permanent facilities cannot house or feed them.
Summer heat and cooler failure
July highs average near 89 degrees, and the record is 116. Heat adds load to walk-in coolers at schools, restaurants, and care facilities. A refrigeration trailer or container can protect stored food while a failed unit is repaired or replaced, which matters most for kitchens that cannot close.
- Hospital and care facility kitchen backup
- Harvest-season crew meals and lodging
- Summer heat cooler failure backup
Delivery from our Olympia warehouse to Ephrata
We keep equipment in Olympia, the Washington capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ephrata is about 160 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 Ephrata
SR 28 runs through Ephrata, and SR 282 links it to SR 17. From Olympia, expect I-5 north and I-90 east across the Cascades, then north to SR 28 through central Washington. The legs after the interstate were not verified; check WSDOT for winter pass conditions.
If your project spans more than one site, Soap Lake, about 6 miles from Ephrata, and Quincy, about 16 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Wilson Creek at 21 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

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
How should we plan for power in summer heat?
Hot afternoons raise cooling loads, so tell the rental team what power you have, whether shore power or a generator, and ask about shade and ventilation for the unit. Confirm electrical hookups with the site owner before delivery.
Who handles temporary food permits in Grant County?
Temporary food service is regulated by the local health jurisdiction. Contact the Grant County health authority early and ask what a rented kitchen trailer needs for water, wastewater, and any plan review.
How fast can a trailer get to Ephrata if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Olympia warehouse, and the delivery time to Ephrata 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.
