Meeker, CO Commercial Kitchen Trailers for Rent

Emergency food service in Meeker 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. Rifle is only 36 miles away, with about 10,663 residents, and Craig about 37 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

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

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type high-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, 3 phase, 200A. New Castle, 38 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Meeker 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. Parachute sits in Garfield County, which has 10 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Rio Blanco County drops to 13°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 83°F, and the county gets about 19 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). 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.

The checklist does not change for Rangely or Carbondale, but the pad, the power and the permit usually do.

• Electrical: confirm the service matches the model, for example 220V single phase at 200 to 220A for the 40ft kitchens.
• Contacts: name the person who will meet the delivery and the person who will approve the setup.
• Entry: tell us if the door needs a ramp or stairs; the setup times differ.

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