Cody, WY Emergency Mobile Kitchen Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers

Operations around Cody that cannot pause food service can lease a mobile commercial kitchen for a week, a month or the length of a long renovation. Powell is only 22 miles away, with about 6,551 residents, and Lovell about 39 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 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen, 28ft Mobile Kitchen and 38ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 220A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Basin, 51 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 Cody. In Worland, where Washakie County has 3 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.

A typical January night in Park County drops to 11°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 76°F, and the county gets about 22 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 7 degrees cooler than the average Wyoming 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.

Rental customers in Cody are commercial, institutional and public: hospitals, school districts, nursing homes and municipal agencies. Each has its own pressure points, from a hospital kitchen rental during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Thermopolis (about 2,748 residents) and Ranchester (about 1,176 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

CMS lists 2 hospitals in Park County, all critical access: Cody Regional Health and Powell Valley Hospital. Certified nursing care adds 2 homes and roughly 194 beds. The National Center for Education Statistics counts 17 public schools with about 3,971 students, in districts such as Park County School District # 6, Park County School District # 1 and Park County School District #16.

Moving the job to Sheridan or Riverton changes the pad and the paperwork; the list below stays the same.

• Placement: pick a level spot with turning room, and keep fire lanes and entrances clear.
• Electrical: confirm the service matches the model, for example 220V single phase at 200 to 220A for the 40ft kitchens.
• Approvals: the local health authority for Park County decides what review a temporary kitchen needs, so ask first.
