Mobile commercial kitchen rental in Platteville

When a permanent kitchen in Platteville is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. Gilcrest is only 5 miles away, with about 1,017 residents, and Milliken about 6 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Match the trailer to the menu: the 28ft Mobile Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.

Industries we serve around Platteville

Rental customers in Platteville are commercial, institutional and public: manufacturers, municipal agencies, construction crews and jails.

Care homes in Mead and school kitchens in Fort Lupton, places of about 6,735 residents and about 9,948 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

Platteville: emergencies, projects, access and costs

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Platteville

Federal records show Weld County designated in 14 declarations since 1965, led by flooding (6 declarations) and severe storms (3 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Gilcrest as well; its own declaration history is listed there.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4145), declared September 14, 2013, with the incident beginning September 11, 2013. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 6, severe storms 3, coastal storm 1, snowstorm 1 and wildfire 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 3, 1990s 2, 2000s 5 and 2010s 2. Before that came Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3365, September 12, 2013), Severe Storms and Tornadoes (DR-1762, May 26, 2008), Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3224, September 5, 2005), Snow (EM-3185, April 9, 2003) and Wildfires (DR-1421, June 19, 2002).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 162 county-based severe-weather event records for Weld County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (143) and flood events (19). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in May 2024, with about $3.4 million in property damage. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 4 large wildfires beginning in Weld County, about 6,070 acres in all. Sunday Fire (2020, 2,004 acres) was the largest, and County Road 89 (2026) the most recent. After a fire, inspections, smoke cleanup and power restoration decide when a kitchen reopens, and the meals have to come from somewhere in between.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Major construction near Platteville

No federal construction contract of $500,000 or more lists Weld County as its place of work in USASpending.gov since October 2021. The nearest is in Adams County, about 47 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $27 million Department of Defense contract, “Recap 2b DBB Construction Contract, Buckley Air Force Base, CO,” starting August 2020 in Adams 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 job in Milliken (about 9,102 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Platteville

Building work on record nearby: The Department of Veterans Affairs committed $4.5 million to “Replace OR Booms Rmrvamc” in Adams County, awarded April 2023 (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. Johnstown 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 Platteville

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. Staging and access details differ again in Firestone, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

Uchealth Greeley Hospital is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Greeley, about 14 miles from Platteville in a straight line.

What a kitchen rental costs in Platteville

There is no single price for every job in Platteville. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995, the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995 and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, and they may vary. A kitchen for Berthoud, 8 miles from here, is built from the same quote, with delivery adjusted for the address.

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.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Platteville

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, 3 phase, 200A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Firestone, 8 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Platteville, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F gives product somewhere cold to go. A call about emergency refrigeration from Berthoud starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

Climate normals for Weld County run from an average January low of 15°F to an average July high of 89°F, with roughly 14 inches of precipitation yearly. July highs run about 7 degrees hotter 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.

Before the trailer arrives in Platteville

Sites near Evans and Frederick start from this same list, then adjust for their own pad, power and permits.

  • People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.
  • Placement: pick a level spot with turning room, and keep fire lanes and entrances clear.
  • Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.

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