Temporary kitchen rental for Silverton facilities
Temporary commercial kitchen rental in Silverton covers a wide range of jobs, from a cafeteria rebuild to a crew that needs hot meals every shift. If the work spills into Telluride, 12 miles from here, or into Mountain Village, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.
Match the trailer to the menu: the 28ft Mobile Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.

Silverton: emergencies, projects, access and costs
Past emergencies and recovery needs in Silverton
OpenFEMA lists 4 disaster declarations that include San Juan County, going back to 1970. The most frequent incident types were flooding (2 declarations) and coastal storm (1 declaration). Telluride has its own page, and its county, San Miguel County, lists 7 federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (emergency declaration, EM-3224), declared September 5, 2005, with the incident beginning August 29, 2005. Coastal storms combine flooding, wind damage and outages, any of which can take a commercial kitchen out of service. The latest major disaster declaration is Wildfires (DR-1421), declared June 19, 2002. By incident type, the count is flooding 2, coastal storm 1 and wildfire 1. The records also list Flooding & Landslides (DR-396, July 6, 1973) and Heavy Rains & Flooding (DR-293, September 22, 1970).
Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 8 county-based event records in San Juan County, with flood events the most common at 8. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.
No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in San Juan County in NIFC's records since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Hinsdale County, about 16 miles away, where the Elk fire burned 7,257 acres in 2026.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Major construction near Silverton
USASpending.gov lists 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in San Juan County since October 2021, worth about $1.7 million together. USASpending.gov shows a $1.2 million Department of the Interior contract, “Peak Mining District Aml Work,” starting May 2020 in San Juan County (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Mountain Village (about 1,240 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Rebuilds and remodels around Silverton
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for San Juan County. The nearest is in San Miguel County, about 44 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $839,000 Department of Agriculture contract, “Construction GAOA Woods Lake CG Toilets Replacement,” starting September 2022 in San Miguel County (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. A remodel in Ridgway, in Ouray County, would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.
Emergency access and staging near Silverton
Public emergency operations in Colorado are coordinated by the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Durango, look to the agencies covering La Plata County rather than assuming the same routes.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Animas Surgical Hospital, LLC, in Durango, about 39 miles from Silverton in a straight line.
Local rental costs in Silverton
Price depends on the model, the rental period, delivery and setup requirements and the utilities on site. Starting prices for kitchens near Silverton include the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995 and the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, and prices may vary. See the equipment pages for dishwashing and refrigeration. Bayfield is quoted on the same factors, but at 40 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.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Silverton
A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 220A) handles trays, plates and pans so Silverton kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Durango, 39 miles from here, as it does here.
Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Silverton, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer gives product somewhere cold to go. Bayfield sits in La Plata County, which has 8 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in San Juan County at 10°F and the average July high at 65°F, with about 39 inches of precipitation a year. 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.
Industries we serve around Silverton
Kitchen requests in Silverton tend to fall into a few groups: school districts, construction crews, disaster-response teams and manufacturers. Our industry pages explain what each group usually needs and how a rental is planned around it. Care homes in Montrose and school kitchens in Mancos, places of about 21,646 residents and about 1,272 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.
CMS lists no hospital in San Juan County; the nearest county with one is La Plata County, about 35 miles away. Public schools here number 3, enrolling about 75 students, with Silverton School District No. 1 In The County Of San Juan among the larger districts (NCES).

When the project needs more than a kitchen
Mobile kitchens in Silverton come first, and the rest follows from the site. Where crews live and work on site, bunk bed sleeper trailer rentals (for example the 20ft Contractor Accommodation Unit) and shower and restroom combination trailer rentals (the 22ft Six-Stall Shower and Restroom Trailer) can sit beside the kitchen. We confirm the exact unit and price in a written quote.
