When a permanent kitchen in Lincoln County is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. Crews working in Limon and Hugo often share a kitchen plan, so one rental can serve more than one site.

Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen, 28ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

A kitchen trailer needs a level area, a path for delivery, the right electrical service and water and wastewater connections. Health and permit steps differ by jurisdiction, so check with Lincoln County before you schedule the opening day. Mobile kitchens can be rented for one week or on monthly terms, including long-term leases for work that runs through a full construction season. Check the authority that covers the site itself; what cleared in Limon is no guarantee for Hugo.

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer and the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Lincoln County sites. Kitchens in Hugo hit the same wall when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Lincoln County. A call about emergency refrigeration from Limon starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

Climate normals for Lincoln County run from an average January low of 15°F to an average July high of 90°F, with roughly 15 inches of precipitation yearly. July highs run about 8 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.

Rental customers in Lincoln County are commercial, institutional and public: municipal agencies, construction crews, disaster-response teams and nursing homes. Each has its own pressure points, from a municipal temporary kitchen during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Hugo (about 771 residents) and Limon (about 1,992 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.
