Temporary kitchen rental for Moorcroft facilities
Temporary commercial kitchen rental in Moorcroft covers a wide range of jobs, from a cafeteria rebuild to a crew that needs hot meals every shift. Gillette is only 27 miles away, with about 33,846 residents, and Sundance about 30 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.
Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.
Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Moorcroft
Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Moorcroft facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Newcastle, 47 miles from here, as it does here.
Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Moorcroft is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. In Buffalo, where Johnson County has 5 federal declarations on record, the call for emergency refrigeration begins the same way.
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Crook County at 11°F and the average July high at 85°F, with about 18 inches of precipitation a year. 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.
What shapes kitchen rentals in Moorcroft, WY
Past emergencies and recovery needs in Moorcroft
Since 1978, Crook County has been named in 5 FEMA declarations; severe storms (2 declarations) and wildfire (2 declarations) lead the list. If you plan across towns, check the page for Gillette as well; Campbell County has 4 federal declarations on record.
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 2, wildfire 2 and flooding 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 2000s 3 and 2010s 1. Before that came Thorn Divide Fire Complex (FM-2654, July 14, 2006), Wy - Mcfarland Divide Fire - 09/06/01 (FM-2382, September 6, 2001), Severe Winter Storm (DR-1351, December 13, 2000) and Severe Storms, Flooding & Mudslides (DR-557, May 29, 1978).
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 103 county-based severe-weather event records for Crook County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (95) and flood events (8). High wind rarely wrecks a kitchen directly. It cuts the power to it, and the walk-in cooler is the first thing to suffer.
The National Interagency Fire Center maps 3 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Crook County since 2016, together covering about 9,510 acres. The largest was the Fish fire in 2022, at 6,793 acres. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.
Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.
Construction projects and crew meals near Moorcroft
No federal construction contract of $500,000 or more lists Crook County as its place of work in USASpending.gov since October 2021. The nearest is in Weston County, about 51 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $541,000 Department of the Interior contract, “Newcastle Office Furniture,” starting September 2023 in Weston County (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 Sundance (about 1,123 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Renovation projects that close kitchens in Moorcroft
Renovating school kitchens, community halls and care facilities often means closing a kitchen for months. A facility in Moorcroft facing that kind of work could rent a mobile kitchen for the duration, keeping meal service open while the permanent kitchen is rebuilt. A remodel in Wright, in Campbell County, would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.
Treat this as a planning example, not a record of past work.
Getting emergency equipment into Moorcroft
Public emergency operations in Wyoming are coordinated by the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. Staging and access details differ again in Newcastle, in Weston County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.
Campbell County Health is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Gillette, about 27 miles from Moorcroft in a straight line.
Pricing a mobile kitchen for Moorcroft

As a guide, prices start at the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995, the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995 and the 40ft Mobile Kitchen from $9,995, and they may vary. A kitchen for Buffalo, 88 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.

Industries we serve around Moorcroft

Prepare your Moorcroft site before delivery
Sites in Douglas, 107 miles away, and Glenrock use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.
- Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
- Electrical: confirm the service matches the model, for example 220V single phase at 200 to 220A for the 40ft kitchens.
- Timing: share your start date and rental period so the quote reflects the real schedule.
The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
