Commercial Kitchen
The Project
United Rental’s in-house engineers worked with the customer to identify their key needs, including operational requirements and the number of people on site, before developing a layout plan. The installation of custom-built stainless-steel benches, along with commercial grade kitchen appliances, lighting and plumbing, ensured the kitchen complied with Australian Standards.
The internal layout was carefully designed to optimize workflows for food preparation, cooking, and cleaning to ensure maximum efficiency in the compact space. An integrated HVAC system was installed in the fully insulated 40-foot unit to provide consistent climate control.
Summary
United Rentals delivered a fully operational, 40-foot mobile commercial kitchen for remote mining camps, catering for 30–50 people per meal. The unit features custom stainless-steel benches, commercial-grade appliances, lighting, plumbing, and an integrated HVAC system, all designed to comply with Australian and New Zealand food safety standards (AS 4674-2004). Modular and relocatable, the kitchen enables efficient workflows, rapid deployment, and seamless integration with existing camp infrastructure, ensuring safe, hygienic, and reliable on-site catering.
Challenges
A commercial kitchen with capacity to feed a large team of hungry workers is an essential part of remote mining camp worksites. With existing catering services unavailable in the region our customer operates in, they required a mobile kitchen solution to ensure camp operations continued with limited disruption. It was essential the kitchen met strict hygiene standards and was fully compliant.
