Mobile commercial kitchen rental in Dillon

Temporary modular kitchens are how Dillon facilities keep serving through a closure. A modular commercial kitchen rental brings the cooking line to the site, with kitchen setup for renovations planned around your schedule. Silverthorne is only 3 miles away, with about 5,220 residents, and Frisco about 4 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Common choices include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

What shapes kitchen rentals in Dillon, CO

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Dillon

Since 1977, Summit County has been named in 4 FEMA declarations; coastal storm (1 declaration) and snowstorm (1 declaration) lead the list. Silverthorne has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (emergency declaration, EM-3224), declared September 5, 2005, with the incident beginning August 29, 2005. Storm surge and wind damage can close waterfront kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires (DR-1421), declared June 19, 2002. By incident type, the count is coastal storm 1, snowstorm 1, wildfire 1 and drought 1. Before that came Snow (EM-3185, April 9, 2003) and Drought (EM-3025, January 29, 1977).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 8 county-based event records for Summit County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 8 of them. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.

No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Summit County in NIFC's records since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Eagle County, about 30 miles away, where the Derby fire burned 5,452 acres in 2025.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Construction projects and crew meals near Dillon

Since October 2021, 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Summit County as the place of work. In August 2022, the Department of the Interior awarded a $881,000 contract for “Blm-Co Design-Build River Operations Facility” in Summit County, with work running to December 2025 (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A job in Frisco (about 2,732 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Major renovation in Dillon

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Summit County. The nearest is in Lake County, about 31 miles away. In April 2023, the Department of the Interior awarded a $2.3 million contract for “Ec-Mt Elbert Powerplant Cooling Water Pump Replacement” in Lake County, with work running to December 2024 (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. Whoever remodels in Breckenridge starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Emergency access and staging near Dillon

In Colorado, the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) works with counties on emergency operations. Official staging areas and the roads that connect them to local emergency-management hubs are published by those agencies and should be checked there. Staging and access details differ again in Vail, in Eagle County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

ST Anthony Summit Medical Center is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Frisco, about 4 miles from Dillon in a straight line.

What a kitchen rental costs in Dillon

A quote for Dillon is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995. Prices may vary. Georgetown is quoted on the same factors, but at 20 miles away a different address can change delivery and setup terms.

Starting prices are guides, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery, setup and utilities. A written quote states the equipment, the rental period and what is included.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Dillon

A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 220A) handles trays, plates and pans so Dillon kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Vail, 17 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Dillon is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. In Georgetown, where Clear Creek County has 7 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

Climate normals for Summit County run from an average January low of 8°F to an average July high of 70°F, with roughly 26 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 5 degrees colder 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.

Who rents kitchen trailers in Dillon

Rental customers in Dillon are commercial, institutional and public: disaster-response teams, school districts, construction crews and nursing homes. Each has its own pressure points, from a emergency commercial kitchen rental during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Care homes in Winter Park and school kitchens in Fraser, places of about 1,192 residents and about 1,515 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

CMS lists one hospital in Summit County: ST Anthony Summit Medical Center. Public schools here number 9, enrolling about 3,570 students, with Summit School District No. Re 1 among the larger districts (NCES).

  • Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.
  • Power: check the panel and service against the trailer's listed requirement before anything is scheduled.
  • Timing: share your start date and rental period so the quote reflects the real schedule.

When the project needs more than a kitchen

Mobile kitchens in Dillon come first, and the rest follows from the site. Where crews live and work on site, bunk bed sleeper trailer rentals (for example the 20ft Contractor Accommodation Unit) and restroom trailer rentals (the Standalone Restroom Trailer) can sit beside the kitchen. We confirm the exact unit and price in a written quote.
