Low elevation, about 170 feet
At roughly 170 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.

Vader, Washington Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Vader lies at 164 feet in the Cowlitz River valley. It was platted as Kraft, later called Little Falls for a waterfall on Olequa Creek, and renamed in 1913. Logging and clay manufacturing built it. Its calendar now centers on the May Day Festival, held since 1952, and the Red, White and Boom fireworks show, held since 2009.
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 Vader site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Vader
Close to our Olympia warehouse
Our Olympia warehouse is about 45 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 Vader
May Day Festival on the first Saturday of May
The May Day Festival has been held on the first Saturday in May since 1952, with a late-morning parade, a cake walk, a May Pole dance, and a beer garden. A festival-day crowd on the main street raises demand for vendor cooking, volunteer meals, and sanitizing stations.
Fireworks night each summer
The Red, White and Boom fireworks show has run in Vader since 2009. Event organizers, volunteer crews, and fire and EMS standby staff on show night can need a kitchen and dishwashing capacity that a park or school facility does not have.
Flood closures on the I-5 corridor
Vader reaches I-5 by SR 506 at exits 59 and 60. Lewis County flooding has closed I-5 in the past, including for several days in December 2007 and again in January 2022. A closure strands crews and travelers and may require a kitchen to feed people staged nearby.
- May Day parade-day food and ware-washing
- Fireworks-night volunteer and crew meals
- Feeding displaced residents during flood closures
Delivery from our Olympia warehouse to Vader
We keep equipment in Olympia, the Washington capital, and plan every delivery from there. Vader is about 45 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 Vader
From Olympia, trailers go south on I-5 to exit 59 or 60, then west on SR 506, which follows Stillwater Creek into Vader and becomes 7th Street across Olequa Creek. The route crosses a BNSF line used by Amtrak. I-5 in Lewis County has closed in floods.
From Vader, Toledo is about 6 miles away, Winlock about 6 miles, and Castle Rock about 10 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Heavy-rain flooding in Lewis County closed I-5 for days in December 2007, with up to ten feet of water on the roadway at one stretch, and it closed again in January 2022. A 24/7 team can supply kitchen and refrigeration support when access is cut.

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 handles temporary food permits for a Vader festival or fundraiser?
Temporary food events in Washington go through the local health jurisdiction. For Vader, contact the Lewis County public health office with your event date, menu, and equipment, and ask what review a kitchen trailer needs before it serves the public.
Is winter flooding a concern when planning a trailer deployment to Vader?
It can be. Heavy rain has closed I-5 in Lewis County in the past, so check WSDOT for current closures and flood warnings before a run. Plan for staging on higher ground, and confirm the site with the county if the creek or river is running high.
Do you take emergency calls for Vader?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Vader site is, and we check availability from our Olympia warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
