Berthoud, CO Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations
A closed kitchen in Berthoud does not have to close meal service: we rent mobile commercial kitchens, with commercial dishwashing and emergency refrigerated trailers to back them up. The same team handles temporary food service after an equipment failure and planned rentals for renovation or construction work. Terms run from a week to a season: short-term for outages, long-term leases for renovations. Our rentals go to commercial and public customers, from golf clubs, school districts and hotels. Our team coordinates delivery, placement and setup with your site contacts. Ask for availability and a quote for Berthoud, or for a project in Johnstown.

Temporary kitchen rental for Berthoud facilities
Operations around Berthoud that cannot pause food service can lease a mobile commercial kitchen for a week, a month or the length of a long renovation. Johnstown is only 3 miles away, with about 20,639 residents, and Mead about 4 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.
Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 40ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.
Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Berthoud
Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Berthoud sites. Platteville, 8 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Berthoud, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer gives product somewhere cold to go. A call about emergency refrigeration from Firestone starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.
A typical January night in Weld County drops to 15°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 89°F, and the county gets about 14 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 7 degrees hotter than the average Colorado county. Hard freezes are routine, so the water hookup is planned with heat tape or an insulated hose, and wastewater lines are kept from freezing between uses.
What shapes kitchen rentals in Berthoud, CO
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Berthoud
Since 1965, Weld County and Larimer County has been named in 30 FEMA declarations; wildfire (15 declarations) and flooding (7 declarations) lead the list. If you plan across towns, check the page for Johnstown as well; its own declaration history is listed there.
The most recent is Stone Mountain Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5525), declared July 31, 2024, with the incident beginning July 30, 2024. Evacuations, smoke damage and power shutoffs can close commercial kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, while crews and displaced staff still need hot meals. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires (DR-4581), declared January 15, 2021. By incident type, the count is wildfire 15, flooding 7, severe storms 3, snowstorm 2 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 3, 1980s 1, 1990s 2, 2000s 12, 2010s 6 and 2020s 4. Earlier declarations include Alexander Mountain Fire (FM-5524, July 31, 2024), Cameron Peak Fire (FM-5349, September 6, 2020), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4145, September 14, 2013), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3365, September 12, 2013) and High Park and Waldo Canyon Wildfires (DR-4067, June 28, 2012).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 162 county-based severe-weather event records for Weld County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (143) and flood events (19). NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $3.4 million, from a flood in May 2024. Storm winds mean outages measured in days in some places, so the generator question belongs in the plan from the start.
Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 4 large wildfires beginning in Weld County, about 6,070 acres in all. Sunday Fire (2020, 2,004 acres) was the largest, and County Road 89 (2026) the most recent. A fire that never touches a kitchen can still close it: evacuation orders, smoke and utility shutoffs come first.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Construction projects and crew meals near Berthoud
USASpending.gov shows no federal construction contract of $500,000 or more with Weld County as the place of work since October 2021. The nearest is in Adams County, about 47 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $27 million Department of Defense contract, “Recap 2b DBB Construction Contract, Buckley Air Force Base, CO,” starting August 2020 in Adams County (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Mead (about 6,735 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Berthoud
Building work on record nearby: USASpending.gov shows a $4.5 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract, “Replace OR Booms Rmrvamc,” starting April 2023 in Adams County (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. A remodel in Milliken would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.
Emergency access and staging near Berthoud
The Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Colorado. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Platteville, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Banner North CO Medical Center - Loveland Campus, in Loveland, about 10 miles from Berthoud in a straight line.

Who rents kitchen trailers in Berthoud
