Del Norte is the Rio Grande County seat, set at about 7,884 feet where the Rio Grande leaves the San Juan Mountains and enters the San Luis Valley. It was incorporated in 1895, and ranching and agriculture carried it through the decline of mining. US 160 and SH 112 serve the town, and Wolf Creek Ski Area lies about 28 miles west.
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 Del Norte site.
Elevation from the Open-Meteo elevation model. Temperatures are averages for January lows and July highs in 2022 to 2024, from Open-Meteo reanalysis data.
Water boils near 196°F here, so steam tables, kettles, and dish-machine rinse temperatures behave differently than at sea level. Gas burners and ovens are checked for altitude before a kitchen goes out, and we confirm the setup with your cook.
Average January nights here drop to about 6°F. For a winter rental we confirm insulated hoses, heat tracing, and a generator or shore-power plan that keeps the heaters running.
Summer highs near 84°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
About 160 miles in a straight line from our Denver warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Wolf Creek Pass reaches 10,857 feet and averages about 392 inches of snow, with snow from late September into June. Lodging and food service tied to winter recreation can be strained when a pass closes or deliveries run late, and a kitchen or refrigeration trailer fills the gap.
Rio Grande Hospital is the major hospital serving the area, so kitchen and cold-storage continuity matters for patients and staff in the region. When a care facility loses a walk-in cooler, dish machine, or range, a trailer can provide temporary service while permanent equipment is repaired or replaced.
Del Norte has a river walk, trails on Lookout Mountain, and the Rio Grande National Forest nearby. Summer outdoor groups, guide services, and events often need meal service in places with no building kitchen, and a trailer can provide a full cooking line, handwashing, and refrigeration.
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Del Norte is about 160 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
From Denver, US 285 crosses Kenosha, Red Hill, Trout Creek, and Poncha passes into the San Luis Valley, and US 160 leads to Del Norte. Wolf Creek Pass lies farther west and is not needed to reach town. Check CDOT conditions for winter storms on each pass.
The closest towns we serve are Monte Vista (about 13 miles), Center (14 miles), and South Fork (16 miles).
Open 24/7
Wolf Creek Pass, west of Del Norte on US 160, averages about 392 inches of snow and can be dangerous in winter. When storms disrupt supply or power, we are open 24/7 and can deploy kitchen or refrigeration trailers.

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.
When a kitchen closes for a renovation, a repair, or an emergency, the people it feeds still need to eat. Reliable Del Norte mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.
Delivery and setup of Del Norte mobile kitchen rentals are coordinated around your schedule in Del Norte, with timing confirmed at quote.
Call (888) 385-5513 any hour. A broken cooler or a closed kitchen does not wait for business hours.
One team helps choose the trailer, plans the hookups, and collects it when the job is done.
Terms run from a single week to a long lease, matched to how long your own kitchen will be out of service.
Equipment built to handle a full day of service, from the cooking line to the dish room and cold storage.
Site access, placement, power, water, and wastewater are checked before the trailer is on the road.
Our customers run commercial and institutional kitchens, including hospitals, schools, government and military sites, hotels, correctional facilities, and caterers. What we promise is what we can confirm: someone answering the phone at any hour, coordinated delivery and setup, and a written quote that states terms before you agree to anything.
When a cooler warms up overnight, a flood closes the kitchen, or an inspector shuts down the dish room, call us and we begin planning the replacement on that call. It helps to have the unit's make, your available power, and the site address ready.
Mobile and temporary food service is generally regulated by the county health department, and a town or Forest Service permit may be needed for public or forest land. Contact them early with your dates, menu, and site details.
Passes on US 285 and US 160 can see heavy snow, so delivery timing depends on CDOT conditions. On site, plan freeze protection and a reliable power source. Tell us your location and dates, and we will plan around conditions.

No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
