Payson, UT Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

For Payson, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. Elk Ridge is only 4 miles away, with about 5,003 residents, and Salem about 4 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, 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer lists push-through low-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, single phase, 150A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Santaquin, 5 miles from here, as it does here.

A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. A walk-in that fails in Genola starts the same clock on the stock inside.

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Utah County at 17°F and the average July high at 86°F, with about 19 inches of precipitation a year. 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.

Expect requests in Payson from municipal agencies, hospitals, hotels and school districts. A municipal temporary kitchen is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Care homes in Spanish Fork and school kitchens in Rocky Ridge, places of about 47,809 residents and about 1,034 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services counts 8 hospitals in Utah County, among them American Fork Hospital, Aspen Grove Behavioral Hospital, Intermountain Health Spanish Fork Hospital and Intermountain Health Utah Valley Hospital. Certified nursing care adds 13 homes and roughly 1,097 beds.
