Temporary kitchen rental for Gunnison facilities
A mobile kitchen trailer rental in Gunnison 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 Centerfield (about 1,446 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.
Match the trailer to the menu: the 24ft Mobile Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 38ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.
Customers we support in Gunnison, UT
Expect requests in Gunnison from golf clubs, municipal agencies, construction crews and jails. A country club kitchen trailer is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Spring City (about 1,026 residents) and Moroni (about 1,673 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

Local conditions and rental planning in Gunnison
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Gunnison
OpenFEMA lists 8 disaster declarations that include Sanpete County, going back to 1977. The most frequent incident types were flooding (4 declarations) and wildfire (2 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Centerfield as well; its own declaration history is listed there.
The most recent is Flooding (major disaster declaration, DR-4752), declared December 23, 2023, with the incident beginning May 1, 2023. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 4, wildfire 2, coastal storm 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 1980s 2, 2000s 1, 2010s 3 and 2020s 1. Earlier declarations include Hilltop Fire (FM-5267, August 6, 2018), Wood Hollow Fire (FM-2986, June 24, 2012), Flooding (DR-4011, August 8, 2011), Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3223, September 5, 2005) and Severe Storms, Mudslides, Landslides & Flooding (DR-720, August 17, 1984).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 7 county-based severe-weather event records for Sanpete County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (6) and flood events (1). Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.
The National Interagency Fire Center maps 2 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Sanpete County since 2016, together covering about 4,680 acres. The largest was the Black Canyon fire in 2026, at 3,264 acres. A fire that never touches a kitchen can still close it: evacuation orders, smoke and utility shutoffs come first.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Infrastructure work around Gunnison
USASpending.gov lists 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Sanpete County since October 2021, worth about $1.7 million together. The Department of Agriculture committed $1.1 million to “Improve Road and Campgrounds for Timber Sale” in Sanpete County, awarded September 2026 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Manti (about 3,712 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Rebuilds and remodels around Gunnison
No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Sanpete County. The nearest is in Sevier County, about 45 miles away. The Department of the Interior committed $896,000 to “GAOA - Rfo Fire Engine Storage Structure Replacement, UT” in Sevier County, awarded September 2025 (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. Salina is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.
Emergency equipment access around Gunnison
In Utah, the Utah Division of Emergency Management (DEM) 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 Aurora, in Sevier County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Gunnison Valley Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Gunnison itself.
Local rental costs in Gunnison
A quote for Gunnison is built from the trailer you choose, the length of the rental, delivery distance and the setup the site needs. Starting points: the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995 and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen from $7,995. Prices may vary. A kitchen for Ephraim, 19 miles from here, is built from the same quote, with delivery adjusted for the address.
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.

Supporting rentals: warewashing and refrigeration in Gunnison
If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 150A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Aurora, 18 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.
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 Gunnison. A call about emergency refrigeration from Ephraim starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Sanpete County at 15°F and the average July high at 82°F, with about 19 inches of precipitation a year. July highs run about 4 degrees cooler than the average Utah 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.
Site checklist for Gunnison
Moving the job to Fillmore or Richfield 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.
- Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
- People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.
The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
