Taos, NM Commercial Kitchen Trailers for Rent

A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Taos puts a complete commercial cooking line beside the building that needs it, so a closed kitchen does not have to mean closed meal service. A project that crosses into Angel Fire (about 1,183 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.

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

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 Taos kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Santa Fe, 55 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. In Pecos, where San Miguel County has 19 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

Climate normals for Taos County run from an average January low of 12°F to an average July high of 78°F, with roughly 18 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 10 degrees colder than the average New Mexico 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.

Kitchen requests in Taos tend to fall into a few groups: municipal agencies, jails, nursing homes and disaster-response teams. Our industry pages explain what each group usually needs and how a rental is planned around it. Care homes in Las Vegas and school kitchens in Raton, places of about 12,711 residents and about 6,005 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

CMS lists one hospital in Taos County: Holy Cross Hospital a Div of Taos Health Systems, a critical access hospital. Certified nursing care adds 1 home and roughly 100 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 22 public schools with about 3,661 students, in districts such as Taos, Questa and Penasco.

• Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
• Power: check the panel and service against the trailer's listed requirement before anything is scheduled.
• Supplies: mark a drop point for food and paper goods that keeps carts away from utility lines.
