Temporary kitchen rental for Afton facilities

When a permanent kitchen in Afton is closed for renovation, repairs or an equipment failure, a rented mobile commercial kitchen lets meal service continue from a trailer parked on site. If the work spills into Star Valley Ranch, 18 miles from here, or into Alpine, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 24ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.

Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Afton

Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Afton facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer. Pinedale, 55 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Afton is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. A walk-in that fails in Kemmerer starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Lincoln County drops to 8°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 79°F, and the county gets about 20 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 3 degrees colder than the average Wyoming 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.

Afton: emergencies, projects, access and costs

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Afton

Federal records show Lincoln County designated in 3 declarations since 1977, led by severe storms (1 declaration) and wildfire (1 declaration). Star Valley Ranch has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Flooding, and Landslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4007), declared July 22, 2011, with the incident beginning May 18, 2011. Storm damage and long power outages can shut kitchens and warm the contents of walk-in coolers within hours. By incident type, the count is severe storms 1, wildfire 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 2000s 1 and 2010s 1. The records also list Wy - Commissary Ridge Fire - 08/31/02 (FM-2460, August 31, 2002) and Drought (EM-3043, June 15, 1977).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 19 county-based event records for Lincoln County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 10 of them, flood events for 9. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $100,000, from a flash flood in August 2024. 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 1 wildfire of 1,000 acres or more that started in Lincoln County since 2016, together covering about 4,066 acres. The largest was the Willow Creek fire in 2025, at 4,066 acres. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Construction projects and crew meals near Afton

USASpending.gov lists 2 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Lincoln County since October 2021, worth about $1.3 million together. Another public record is “Fontenelle Paving Project,” a $681,000 Department of the Interior contract from September 2022 in Lincoln County (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A job in Alpine (about 1,360 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Major renovation in Afton

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Lincoln County. The nearest is in Rich County, about 51 miles away. In January 2025, the Department of the Interior awarded a $1 million contract for “Bear River Fence & Enclosure Replacement Phase 2” in Rich County, with work running to November 2026 (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. Jackson is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.

Getting emergency equipment into Afton

The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Wyoming. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Pinedale, look to the agencies covering Sublette County rather than assuming the same routes.

By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Afton is Star Valley Medical Center, a critical access hospital, in Afton itself.

What a kitchen rental costs in Afton

There is no single price for every job in Afton. Equipment, rental term, delivery and site conditions all change it. As a guide, prices start at the 40ft Bulk Kitchen from $10,995, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995 and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, and they may vary. Kemmerer is quoted on the same factors, but at 68 miles away a different address can change delivery and setup terms.

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.

Site checklist for Afton

  • People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.
  • Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
