Hayden, CO Mobile Commercial Kitchen Rentals and Emergency Cold Storage

Emergency food service in Hayden often starts with one question: where will the next meal be cooked? A commercial kitchen trailer on a level pad gives the answer while the permanent kitchen is out of action. If the work spills into Craig, 15 miles from here, or into Steamboat Springs, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

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

Who rents a mobile kitchen near Hayden? Mostly municipal agencies, school districts, manufacturers and nursing homes, along with contractors and public agencies. The need is usually the same: a working kitchen while the permanent one is unavailable. Care homes in Eagle and school kitchens in New Castle, places of about 7,349 residents and about 4,894 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

CMS lists one hospital in Routt County: Uchealth Yampa Valley Medical Center. The county also has 1 nursing home certified by Medicare or Medicaid, with about 66 beds.

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 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Hayden sites. Kremmling, 56 miles away, has the same problem 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 LT Refrigerated Trailer, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Hayden. Gypsum sits in Eagle County, which has 7 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Routt County drops to 10°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 77°F, and the county gets about 26 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 3 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.

Moving the job to Glenwood Springs or Silt changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.

• Pad and access: a level area, a clear approach for the trailer length and room for food deliveries.
• Wastewater: plan sewer access, a holding tank or pump-out service, depending on the site in Hayden.
• Potable water: kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a clean supply close to where they sit.

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