Commercial kitchen trailers for Lyons

A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Lyons is one of the quickest temporary commercial kitchen solutions: a fully equipped mobile kitchen on a pad, ready to connect to power and water. If the work spills into Longmont, 10 miles from here, or into Boulder, 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.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Lyons

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 150A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Berthoud, 17 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Lyons means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. Estes Park sits in Larimer County, which has 28 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Boulder County drops to 17°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 81°F, and the county gets about 21 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). 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.

Past emergencies and recovery needs in Lyons

Since 1969, Boulder County has been named in 17 FEMA declarations; wildfire (9 declarations) and flooding (5 declarations) lead the list. Longmont has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

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 5, snowstorm 2 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 2000s 7, 2010s 4 and 2020s 4. Earlier declarations include 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).

Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 12 county-based event records in Boulder County, with high-wind and thunderstorm events the most common at 9. High wind rarely wrecks a kitchen directly. It cuts the power to it, and the walk-in cooler is the first thing to suffer.

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.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Infrastructure work around Lyons

USASpending.gov lists 62 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Boulder County since October 2021, worth about $161 million together. 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). 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 project in Boulder, about 106,803 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Lyons

USASpending.gov shows a $63 million Department of Commerce contract, “Renovation of Building 1 Wings 5, 4 and Partial Spine, Nist Boulder CO,” starting July 2020 in Boulder County (award record). The Department of Commerce committed $10 million to “Central Utility Plant (Cup) Chiller Replacement” in Boulder County, awarded October 2024 (award record). Another public record is “Cup Cooling Tower Upgrades in Building 42 on the Boulder, CO Campus,” a $9.2 million Department of Commerce contract from June 2021 in Boulder County (award record). In January 2024, the Department of Commerce awarded a $7 million contract for “Construction Renovation Services for Building 81 Pif Laboratory” in Boulder County, with work running to January 2027 (award record). Mead is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.

Emergency access and staging near Lyons

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. For work in Berthoud, look to the agencies covering Weld County rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Longs Peak Hospital, in Longmont, about 10 miles from Lyons in a straight line.

Local rental costs in Lyons

There is no single price for every job in Lyons. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995 and the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, and they may vary. Estes Park is quoted on the same factors, but at 17 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.

Site checklist for Lyons

Sites in Firestone, 18 miles away, and Erie use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.

  • Food deliveries: plan where suppliers will unload so they do not block the trailer door.
  • Potable water: kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a clean supply close to where they sit.
  • People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.

See the site planning guides for power, water, wastewater and placement detail.

When the project needs more than a kitchen

Mobile kitchens in Lyons come first, and the rest follows from the site. Where crews live and work on site, shower and restroom combination trailer rentals (for example the 22ft Six-Stall Shower and Restroom Trailer) and remote workforce housing with multi-use crew support trailers (the Office, Sleeper, Shower and Restroom Trailer) can sit beside the kitchen. We confirm the exact unit and price in a written quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a temporary kitchen in Lyons need a health permit?

The local health authority usually reviews temporary food-service facilities, and requirements differ by jurisdiction. Boulder County environmental health or the Colorado health department can tell you what applies. We can supply equipment lists to support the review.

Can you rent dishwashing as well as a kitchen in Lyons?

Yes. Dishwashing trailers range from a compact push-through low-temperature unit to 38ft conveyor trailers in low-temperature and high-temperature versions. They can be rented with a kitchen or on their own.

How do I get emergency refrigeration in Lyons?

Call the 24-hour line and describe the failure, your address and the product you need to protect. Emergency refrigerated trailers are 20ft units listed at 32°F, 15°F and -5°F and need a 220V single-phase supply rated 40 to 60A. Availability depends on the unit and your location.

How long can I keep a kitchen trailer in Lyons?

Rental periods start at one week and run by the month. A short outage may need one or two weeks; a renovation can lease a kitchen for many months. Ask about long-term leasing when you request a quote.
