What public records show for food service in High Shoals
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Gaston County
FEMA has made 5 major disaster declarations for Gaston County since 2000; the latest, DR-4827, tropical storm helene, was declared on September 28, 2024 after an incident that began September 25, 2024, and it covered High Shoals. Declared disasters like this can interrupt power, water, and road access to commercial kitchens. For a school, care home, or shelter in High Shoals, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around High Shoals
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "ROW erosion, sewer lines exposed and damaged" (utilities, about $973,000) in Gaston County after DR-4827, a tropical storm declared September 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches High Shoals, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in High Shoals
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in High Shoals can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to High Shoals
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Gaston County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. North Carolina borders Virginia, our lead market, so projects here are planned much like our Virginia work. Equipment for High Shoals would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Dallas and Lincolnton. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs
Kitchen trailer rental costs in High Shoals

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in High Shoals
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using High Shoals's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4827 (tropical storm helene, declared September 28, 2024): a hospital kitchen in High Shoals is knocked offline, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-40 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
