Cokedale, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Cokedale was built from 1906 by the Carbon Coal and Coke Company and remained a company-owned coal camp until 1947. Much of the town is a National Register historic district, listed in 1985, with 92 contributing buildings, many made from coke and cement block. Cokedale is in Las Animas County, and the post office operated from 1906 to 1997.
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 Cokedale site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Cokedale
January lows near 19°F
Cokedale sees January lows near 19°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
July highs near 88°F
Warm summers, with highs near 88°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Delivery from Denver
Cokedale is roughly 180 miles from Denver, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Cokedale
Heritage tourism events
The historic district is described as the most representative remaining coal camp of its kind in Colorado. Tours, reunions, and heritage events there can outgrow the available buildings, and a mobile kitchen provides cooking and dishwashing for organizers and visitors.
Earthquake recovery
The town sits about five miles from the epicenter of a 5.3 magnitude earthquake on August 23, 2011. Seismic damage can cut utilities and close kitchens, and trailers can supply cooking, cooling, and sanitation until buildings are inspected and repaired.
Preservation and repair crews
Historic buildings with sandstone foundations and cinder block walls need ongoing preservation work. Contractors and volunteer crews working on site can use kitchen trailers, showers, restrooms, or sleepers when no nearby facilities are available. Preservation rules and the property owner decide placement near historic structures, so confirm early.
- Kitchen support for heritage tours and reunions
- Post-earthquake cooking, cooling, and sanitation
- Crew facilities for preservation work

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
Can a trailer be placed in the historic district?
Placement in a National Register district may involve town rules, historic review, and the property owner. Contact the town and landowner before ordering, and send us the exact site so we can discuss access, turning, and ground conditions.
Who permits a temporary kitchen in Las Animas County?
Contact the Las Animas County public health office for mobile or temporary food service. Share your menu, dates, and setup, and ask which license, inspection, or plan review applies before the trailer is dispatched.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Cokedale in an emergency?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Denver warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Cokedale when we quote.
