Hardin, MT Commercial Kitchen Trailers for Rent

Temporary modular kitchens are how Hardin facilities keep serving through a closure. A modular commercial kitchen rental brings the cooking line to the site, with kitchen setup for renovations planned around your schedule. Billings is only 46 miles away, with about 121,483 residents, and Colstrip about 48 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, 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

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. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Forsyth, 58 miles from here, as it does here.

When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Hardin. In Roundup, where Musselshell County has 13 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

A typical January night in Big Horn County drops to 13°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 86°F, and the county gets about 16 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 4 degrees hotter than the average Montana 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.

Rental customers in Hardin are commercial, institutional and public: construction crews, golf clubs, disaster-response teams and municipal agencies. Each has its own pressure points, from a temporary kitchen for construction during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Care homes in Columbus and school kitchens in Red Lodge, places of about 1,966 residents and about 2,686 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

CMS lists 2 hospitals in Big Horn County, all critical access: Big Horn Hospital and P H S Indian Hospital Crow / Northern Cheyenne. The county also has 1 nursing home certified by Medicare or Medicaid, with about 40 beds. Public schools here number 15, enrolling about 2,433 students, with Hardin Elem, Hardin H S and Lodge Grass Elem among the larger districts (NCES).

Moving the job to Miles City or Big Timber changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.

• People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.
• Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
• Pad and access: a level area, a clear approach for the trailer length and room for food deliveries.
