Carrizozo, NM Commercial Kitchen Trailers for Rent

For Carrizozo, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. Capitan is only 16 miles away, with about 1,409 residents, and Ruidoso about 23 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Common choices include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A) and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer and the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Carrizozo sites. Tularosa, 41 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Carrizozo 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. In Alamogordo, where Otero County has 22 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

A typical January night in Lincoln County drops to 23°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 88°F, and the county gets about 14 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020).
