Low elevation, about 2,460 feet
At roughly 2,460 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

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 Palouse site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Palouse
A long haul from Olympia
Expect a long delivery: roughly 275 miles straight-line from Olympia. Tell us the date you need the kitchen running and we plan the haul, the escort needs, and the setup crew around it.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Palouse
Palouse Days weekend
Palouse Days is a free harvest festival on the second weekend after Labor Day, with a parade, a car show, a quilt show, a barley bar relay, and live music. Organizers and vendors who need more cooking capacity can add a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer.
Harvest season crews
Palouse Days is a harvest celebration, and the lentil and grain fields around town are worked in the late summer. Growers or harvest crews hosting a meal for workers, far from any restaurant, can set up a mobile kitchen with refrigeration on site.
School or care kitchen outage
The town has a school and a local business district. If a kitchen there loses its hood system, a cooking line, or a walk-in cooler, a mobile kitchen or emergency refrigeration trailer can keep meal service going on the same property until the equipment is repaired or replaced.

- Harvest crew feeding in the field
- School kitchen backup during repairs
Delivery from our Olympia warehouse to Palouse
We keep equipment in Olympia, the Washington capital, and plan every delivery from there. Palouse is about 275 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 Palouse
Palouse sits in the Palouse hills of Whitman County. The route from Olympia crosses the Cascades and the Columbia Basin, but the final approach has not been verified here. Confirm the exact roads and any grade or weather limits with dispatch and WSDOT before booking a winter delivery.
If your project spans more than one site, Garfield, about 8 miles from Palouse, and Potlatch, about 8 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Onaway at 9 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

Emergency deployment, any hour
Equipment does not wait for a convenient time to fail. A walk-in cooler that quits in summer, a frozen line in winter, or a power outage at a kitchen is when 24/7 emergency deployment of refrigeration or a mobile kitchen would apply.

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
Who handles food permits in Whitman County?
The Whitman County Health Department handles food permits for properties outside Washington State University, and its temporary event application requires a signed form and a fee. Contact them early to confirm what a trailer-based kitchen needs.
Is winter access a concern at 2,431 feet?
At 2,431 feet in the Palouse hills, winter snow and ice can slow hauling, and the Cascade passes on the way can add delays. Ask dispatch about timing, and consider a backup date for any winter delivery.
How fast can a trailer get to Palouse 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 Palouse 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.
