Kitchen trailers for rent in Erie, CO
For Erie, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. A project that crosses into Lafayette (about 30,587 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Common choices include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.
Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Erie
A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 150A) handles trays, plates and pans so Erie kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Broomfield, 6 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
Emergency refrigeration for Erie means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. A call about emergency refrigeration from Louisville starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.
Climate normals for Boulder County run from an average January low of 17°F to an average July high of 81°F, with roughly 21 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 4 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.
Local conditions and rental planning in Erie
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Erie
Since 1965, Boulder County and Weld County has been named in 24 FEMA declarations; wildfire (9 declarations) and flooding (7 declarations) lead the list. Lafayette has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Stone Mountain Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5525), declared July 31, 2024, with the incident beginning July 30, 2024. Wildfire response brings long shifts for responders and rebuilding crews, and smoke or utility loss can take permanent kitchens out of service. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires and Straight-Line Winds (DR-4634), declared December 31, 2021. By incident type, the count is wildfire 9, flooding 7, severe storms 3, snowstorm 2 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 3, 1990s 2, 2000s 9, 2010s 4 and 2020s 4. The records also list Marshall Fire (FM-5423, December 30, 2021), Calwood Fire (FM-5379, October 17, 2020), Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4229, July 16, 2015), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4145, September 14, 2013) and Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3365, September 12, 2013).
Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 12 county-based event records for Boulder County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 9 of them, flood events for 3. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.
The National Interagency Fire Center maps 3 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Boulder County since 2016, together covering about 17,743 acres. The largest was the Calwood fire in 2020, at 10,106 acres. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Major construction near Erie
Since October 2021, 62 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Boulder County as the place of work. Another public record is “ST Vrain Creek Frrp - Longmont CO,” a $13 million Department of Defense contract from January 2025 in Boulder County (award record). In September 2021, the Department of Commerce awarded a $7.7 million contract for “Bldg 1 Wing 2 Utility Project” in Boulder County, with work running to January 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $6.5 million Department of Commerce contract, “Building 81 Decouple from Central Utility Plant,” starting September 2023 in Boulder 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 Dacono (about 6,748 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Major renovation in Erie
Another public record is “Renovation of Building 1 Wings 5, 4 and Partial Spine, Nist Boulder CO,” a $63 million Department of Commerce contract from July 2020 in Boulder County (award record). In October 2024, the Department of Commerce awarded a $10 million contract for “Central Utility Plant (Cup) Chiller Replacement” in Boulder County, with work running to March 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $9.2 million Department of Commerce contract, “Cup Cooling Tower Upgrades in Building 42 on the Boulder, CO Campus,” starting June 2021 in Boulder County (award record). The Department of Commerce committed $7 million to “Construction Renovation Services for Building 81 Pif Laboratory” in Boulder County, awarded January 2024 (award record). Frederick is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Emergency equipment access around Erie
Public emergency operations in Colorado are coordinated by the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Broomfield, look to the agencies covering Broomfield County rather than assuming the same routes.
By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Erie is Good Samaritan Medical Center LLC, in Lafayette, about 5 miles from Erie in a straight line.
