Temporary kitchen rental for Wray facilities

Emergency food service in Wray 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. If the work spills into Yuma, 26 miles from here, or into Holyoke, 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.

Local conditions and rental planning in Wray

Past emergencies and recovery needs in Wray

OpenFEMA lists 5 disaster declarations that include Yuma County, going back to 1965. The most frequent incident types were flooding (1 declaration) and coastal storm (1 declaration). If you plan across towns, check the page for Yuma as well; its own declaration history is listed there.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4229), declared July 16, 2015, with the incident beginning May 4, 2015. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 1, coastal storm 1, wildfire 1, severe storms 1 and tornado 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 2000s 3 and 2010s 1. Earlier declarations include Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3224, September 5, 2005), Wildfires (DR-1421, June 19, 2002), Severe Winter Storms (DR-1374, May 17, 2001) and Tornadoes, Severe Storms & Flooding (DR-200, June 19, 1965).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 213 county-based severe-weather event records for Yuma County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (200) and flood events (13). NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $1 million, from a thunderstorm wind in June 2021. 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 Yuma County, about 18,802 acres in all. 33 Incident (2025, 10,127 acres) was the largest, and 36 (2026) the most recent. 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 Wray

USASpending.gov lists 1 federal construction contract of $500,000 or more with work in Yuma County since October 2021. The Department of Energy committed $893,000 to “Wauneta Substation Breaker Replacement” in Yuma County, awarded July 2023 (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 Holyoke, about 2,296 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Wray

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Yuma County. The nearest is in Adams County, about 102 miles away. The Department of Veterans Affairs committed $4.5 million to “Replace OR Booms Rmrvamc” in Adams County, awarded April 2023 (award record). Another public record is “Repair, Re-Seal, and Stripe Parking Garages,” a $3.5 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from May 2024 in Adams County (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. The closure date drives the plan in Akron too.

Emergency equipment access around Wray

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 Burlington, in Kit Carson County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Wray Community District Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Wray itself.

What a kitchen rental costs in Wray

There is no single price for every job in Wray. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995 and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995, and they may vary. Julesburg is quoted on the same factors, but at 63 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.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Wray

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 220A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Burlington, 54 miles from here, as it does here.

Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Wray, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer gives product somewhere cold to go. In Julesburg, where Sedgwick County has 7 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

Climate normals for Yuma County run from an average January low of 17°F to an average July high of 90°F, with roughly 18 inches of precipitation yearly. 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.

Who rents kitchen trailers in Wray

Who rents a mobile kitchen near Wray? Mostly construction crews, disaster-response teams, manufacturers and school districts, along with contractors and public agencies. The need is usually the same: a working kitchen while the permanent one is unavailable. Sterling (about 13,114 residents) and Brush (about 5,370 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

CMS lists 2 hospitals in Yuma County, all critical access: Wray Community District Hospital and Yuma District Hospital. Certified nursing care adds 1 home and roughly 45 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 9 public schools with about 1,804 students, in districts such as Yuma 1 School District, Wray Rd-2 School District and Idalia Rj-3 School District.
