Proven Package 1: Temporary Kitchen and Coldroom Hire

A Mini Kitchen and a Coldroom, Delivered on One Vehicle

Proven Package 1 is the smallest of PKL’s pre configured temporary kitchen complexes. It pairs a Mini Kitchen with a coldroom, which can be set as a fridge or as a freezer, and the two units arrive together on a single vehicle. The kitchen gives up to three staff room to work at once, and the coldroom means the site can take chilled or frozen deliveries weekly rather than daily.

PKL’s Proven Packages exist because most projects fall into a small number of recognisable shapes, and a package that has already been proved on site is faster to design, price and commission than a complex assembled from scratch. PP1 is the shape that fits a smaller refurbishment, a hospitality kitchen at an event, or any project where the catering operation is modest but has to be complete.

What PP1 Is Specified For

Two situations account for most PP1 rentals. The first is a short refurbishment where a small kitchen goes out of service and the operation has to continue at close to normal output. The second is an event or hospitality project, where the package is chosen because it arrives on one vehicle, commissions quickly and comes off site as cleanly as it went on.

Where the catering requirement is larger, the package steps up through the Proven Package range rather than being stretched. PKL’s temporary kitchen units can be hired singly or linked into large complexes, and the production range runs from the Field Kitchen through to the Triton, so a package can be scaled to the number of covers rather than the other way round.

Standard Equipment and Services

The illustrated PP1 specification includes a six burner oven range, a ten rack combination oven, a 150 litre boiling pan, an undercounter fridge and an undercounter freezer at 354 litres each, a double bowl sink with a hand wash station at 1800mm, a water heater and storage racking. Equipment is indicative: PKL holds 55,000 items of catering equipment, and the internal specification is designed against your own menu.

The complex needs a 63amp or 32amp single phase electrical supply, a 15mm or 22mm water inlet, a 40mm waste outlet and, where gas equipment is specified, a gas inlet. Electric equipment is available throughout where gas is not practical. Where services are not present at the position you have chosen, PKL can arrange power, water and waste as part of the rental.

Delivery, Hire Period and Support

The units are delivered by lorry and craned into place where vehicle access is restricted. A level hard standing surface is preferred, and the units are levelled on installation where it is not. There is no minimum hire period, so PP1 can be held for a week or for the length of a construction programme. Before it leaves the depot the kitchen is prepared, tested and inspected at PKL’s in house facility, and once it is running it is covered by the 24 hour technical support line with engineers available to attend site.
