At 7,710 feet, Gunnison is home to Western Colorado University, founded in 1901, and to a regional airport that serves ski season. Summers bring anglers to Blue Mesa Reservoir, the largest lake entirely within the state, and a ten-day July rodeo called Cattlemen's Days. Winters are among the coldest in the country.
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 Gunnison 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 197°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 2°F. For a winter rental we confirm insulated hoses, heat tracing, and a generator or shore-power plan that keeps the heaters running.
With July highs around 83°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
Gunnison is roughly 130 miles from Denver, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Cattlemen's Days is a ten-day July rodeo with PRCA events, and it draws crowds and volunteers for the full run. An event operator or fundraiser feeding crowds, contestants and staff can add a kitchen trailer and dishwashing trailer to the grounds with the organizer's approval.
Western Colorado requires students to live on campus for their first two years, and its dining runs through the University Center. If a dining line goes down for repairs, a kitchen trailer and dishwashing trailer can support meal service during an outage.
Cold air settles in the Gunnison valley, and the town has recorded a low of minus 47 degrees Fahrenheit. A hard freeze can knock out a heating system, line or walk-in cooler, and a refrigeration trailer or temporary kitchen helps a facility keep serving.
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Gunnison is about 130 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
US 50 is the main route into Gunnison, with Colorado 135 running toward the north. From the Denver warehouse the approach from the east crosses Monarch Pass, and the one from the west crosses Cerro Summit. Both are mountain passes with winter snow and grades.
The closest towns we serve are Crested Butte (about 22 miles), Mount Crested Butte (25 miles), and Crawford (39 miles).
Open 24/7
Gunnison is among the coldest winter places in the U.S., and a record low of minus 47 shows how severe it can get. Our 24/7 emergency deployment can bring refrigeration or a kitchen when cold takes equipment down.

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 Gunnison mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.
Delivery and setup of Gunnison mobile kitchen rentals are coordinated around your schedule in Gunnison, 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.
Hunting is listed as a winter activity in the Gunnison area, and visitors and outfitters can add to demand for meals and lodging. Season dates are set by the state, so confirm current dates with Colorado Parks and Wildlife when planning a crew or camp.
Deep cold affects water lines, propane and hose connections, so ask about freeze protection and a plowed, level pad before delivery. Check with the county health department about winter requirements for temporary kitchens.

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