Cheyenne Wells, CO Mobile Commercial Kitchen Rentals and Emergency Cold Storage

Emergency food service in Cheyenne Wells often starts with one question: where will the next meal be cooked? A commercial kitchen trailer on a level pad gives the answer while the permanent kitchen is out of action. If the work spills into Burlington, 34 miles from here, or into Lamar, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

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, 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 150A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Limon, 78 miles from here, as it does here.

Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Cheyenne Wells, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer gives product somewhere cold to go. Ordway sits in Crowley County, which has 10 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Cheyenne County at 16°F and the average July high at 91°F, with about 16 inches of precipitation a year. January lows run about 3 degrees warmer than the average Colorado county. With nights that cold, a kitchen trailer needs heated or insulated water lines, and a refrigerated trailer should not be asked to hold product warm against freezing air.
