Gilcrest, CO Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers

Temporary modular kitchens are how Gilcrest 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. A project that crosses into Milliken (about 9,102 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.

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.

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 Gilcrest kitchens do not fall back on disposables. La Salle, 6 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Gilcrest is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. A call about emergency refrigeration from Johnstown starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

A typical January night in Weld County drops to 15°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 89°F, and the county gets about 14 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 7 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.
