Craig, CO Commercial Kitchen Trailers for Rent

When a permanent kitchen in Craig is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. A project that crosses into Hayden (about 1,920 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.

Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.

A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, 3 phase, 200A) handles trays, plates and pans so Craig kitchens do not fall back on disposables. New Castle, 65 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 Craig, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F gives product somewhere cold to go. In Silt, where Garfield County has 10 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

Climate normals for Moffat County run from an average January low of 12°F to an average July high of 85°F, with roughly 15 inches of precipitation yearly. July highs run about 3 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.

The checklist does not change for Gypsum or Kremmling, but the pad, the power and the permit usually do.

• Entry: tell us if the door needs a ramp or stairs; the setup times differ.
• Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.
• People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.

The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
