Alma, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
At 10,361 feet, Alma claims the title of highest incorporated town in the country with year-round residents, and its post office sits higher than any other. Gold in Buckskin Gulch started the town in the 1870s, and mines opened on Mount Bross, Mount Lincoln, and Mount Democrat. Winters run late October into April, with about 146 inches of snow.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Alma site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Alma
January lows near 6°F
With typical January lows around 6°F, a trailer left without heat can freeze its water system in a single night. We plan hookups, heaters, and a drain-down routine for any rental that spans winter.
Cool summers, highs near 67°F
Summer highs near 67°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Close to our Denver warehouse
Our Denver warehouse is about 65 miles away, so equipment does not travel far. That helps in an emergency, and we plan placement and hookups with you before the trailer rolls.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Alma
Short building season
With winter lasting from late October into April, outdoor construction, utility work, and property development at this altitude crowd into the warm months. Crews working far from restaurants can use a kitchen trailer, showers, restrooms, or sleeper units on site.
Storms that cut off supply
CO 9 serves Alma and crosses Hoosier Pass, which is occasionally closed during winter storms. A restaurant or lodge whose walk-in cooler fails while deliveries are delayed can bring in an emergency refrigeration trailer to protect inventory. A trailer on site gives staff a backup if the highway stays closed for a day or more.
Summer thunderstorm season
Thunderstorms peak in July and August, and storm-driven power interruptions can spoil stored food. Event operators, camps, and food businesses can use a refrigeration trailer or a backup kitchen to stay open while power and equipment are restored. Camps and summer work crews can also use showers and restrooms staged near the work area.
- Crew kitchens during the short high-altitude building season
- Backup refrigeration when winter storms interrupt supply
- Showers and restrooms for summer work crews
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Alma
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Alma is about 65 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Alma
Alma lies on CO 9. From Denver, trailers use the US 285 corridor into South Park and then CO 9. At 10,361 feet the town gets heavy snow, and Hoosier Pass at 11,542 feet lies on the same highway, so winter dispatch depends on conditions.
From Alma, Fairplay is about 6 miles away, Blue River about 11 miles, and Leadville about 12 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Heavy snowpack and long winters, about 146 inches of snow a year, test kitchens and cold storage here. A 24/7 emergency deployment can bring refrigeration or kitchen trailers when storms or equipment failures leave a business without service.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Does altitude above 10,000 feet affect trailer equipment?
It can. Gas burners, ovens, and propane regulators perform differently at altitude, and nights are cold. Give us your site elevation and expected temperatures when you call so we can talk through equipment ratings and heating needs before delivery.
Is the highway to Alma open in winter?
CO 9 is generally open year-round, but Hoosier Pass can close during winter storms. Check CDOT road conditions before travel, and call us if your situation is urgent. Our service runs 24/7, including emergency deployment.
Do you take emergency calls for Alma?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Alma site is, and we check availability from our Denver warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
