Wheat Ridge, CO Mobile Commercial Kitchen Rentals and Emergency Cold Storage

When a permanent kitchen in Wheat Ridge is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. Edgewater is only 3 miles away, with about 4,880 residents, and Arvada about 5 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Common choices include the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A), the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A) and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type high-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 300A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Golden, 6 miles from here, as it does here.

Emergency refrigeration for Wheat Ridge 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. A walk-in that fails in Westminster starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Jefferson County drops to 18°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 82°F, and the county gets about 19 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 5 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.

Moving the job to Glendale or Englewood changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.

• Potable water: kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a clean supply close to where they sit.
• Placement: pick a level spot with turning room, and keep fire lanes and entrances clear.
• Approvals: the local health authority for Jefferson County decides what review a temporary kitchen needs, so ask first.
